| Can someone tell me why are there so many Gintamas in the top anime list? Looks strange. I mean its ok to have one Gintama in the list, but so many (6 in top20)? |

It's true, there are idiots everywhere!” “I know it's difficult to look past my brilliant tail, brain and looks, but I also have excellent ears and eyes.” “I need to have a drink, and I need one soon!” “I am Holo the Wise Wolf so you shut up!” |
| Different seasons. It's that good... probably...... (not) |
 |
| some people just love that show too much I guess. |
| Too Many Gintamas is an oxymoron so idk what that is supposed to mean. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Because for some reason in anime culture seasons are treated as separate entities. I think they should post an all season average for the top lists. |
| What would Golgo do? |
| Because it has a lot of seasons and people love it. |
| I don't see a problem in that? ______ |
| There's never enough Gintama, the top 20 should have 20 seasons of Gintama. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Isn't it because separate seasons are treated as separate anime's? I hardly check the top anime anyway, I always check most popular anime :) |
 |
| That's the sequel efect for you Also different seasons, different entrys. |
| Because it has multiple, awesome seasons probably. |
 |
| Prepare for one more Gintama in the top 15 once the sixth season starts airing, lol. |

Bigaku said: Because it is just that good. It doesn't seem like you've seen it, so I don't really understand the point of this question. You haven't seen it, yet question how its seasons managed to get 6 spots in the top 20, I'd say just watch it and judge it yourself, see if it really deserves those spots. I think the op doesn't understand that Gintama has been on hiatus at certain times. It comes back and that is seen as a new entity. It is also that good. |

Actually, i watched Gintama. Neither a fan nor a hater of it. Just one of the good animes with a huge fanbase. Nothing extraordinary. Its just impractical that SEASONS take the places among the SERIES (many animes have production hell, but thats not a reason to list every season separately). Ofc fans of gintama did nothing wrong, they just bulldozered their fav show, but i wonder, will MAL-administrators repair this thing or its ok for them? (OR MAYBE THEY ALL ARE GINTAMA FANS OH SH~ CONSPIRACY THEORY) |

(OR MAYBE THEY ALL ARE GINTAMA FANS OH SH~ CONSPIRACY THEORY) I would have indeed liked MAL more if it was a bit like IMDB in how it puts all of the seasons of a series under one name which covers the whole series. Because honestly speaking, Gintama should be judged and rated as a whole and not as separate seasons, so is the case for any other anime, as they are all just part of the same story line. Also was that a Welcome to the N.H.K reference? :3 oh, i didnt even know about this show (now plan to watch), what's the reference? |

Bigaku said: Didn't watch the second season yet tbh, so I wouldn't know lol. The MC believes everything is a conspiracy against him. It's pretty nice if you are looking for something you can mostly relate to in one way or another if you are as miserable as me. haha sounds good enough for me :3 im in ps conspiracy everywhere |

| I thought this thread would be made again when Gintama's new sequel (this fall) starts airing |
| well there are many different seasons of Gintama and it's pretty good. I mean if you want the whole franchise to be judged as one series, it'll be too troublesome cuz that means MAL has to combine all the anime with a second season or more under one title and if a new season comes, the original anime, with its original number of members, has to be put under the seasonal anime, which would skew the sorting of those anime. |

fuyuki said: I dont know if this season is gonna be in the top 10 like previous ones, it will at the start but its just going to be adapting some skipped comedy chapters for probably max 12 episodes and then on top of that some of these skipped chapters are kind of duds.Prepare for one more Gintama in the top 15 once the sixth season starts airing, lol. Stuff like enchousen at least had what is a fan favorite serious arc that pretty much was the first arc setting up the entire climax of the series what with oboro/narakus introduction. This one isnt gonna have an arc like that and with a bunch of the really stellar chapters already being adapted comedy wise this is honestly going to feel like the leftovers season. |

| It's a masterpiece, that's why. It deserves all the spots it gets. |
 |
| Unlike other much larger series such as detective conan with 25 seasons or one piece with 19 seasons, etc. Gintama is more a seasonal release rather than a continual one, and there is always the chance they may not make another. Why so many rank high on the list, maybe a lot of people like it. I know that for me, gintama is easily one of the best shows I've been exposed to so far, and most undoubtedly the most humerous, though I do feel almost a little bad for giving pretty much all of it a 10 because I'm aware that many people really dislike those who give gintama a 10 each season despite it being genuinely what I think of the series. I'll probably revise my ratings tomorrow though and turn some 10's to 9's or 8's. Btw, anyone else looking forward to season 9 in a few months? |

| Can someone tell me why are there so few Gintamas in the top anime list? Looks strange. I mean its ok to have few not Gintama in the list, but so many (14 in top20)? |
 "If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| well atleast there are no yaoi anime in top 20 MAL |
 |
| There's never too many Gintamas. Aside from the fact that Gintama is just the best anime ever made, it's because the only ones who watched the whole 201 episodes long season and then all of its sequels are people who absolutely love it and who give it mostly 10s and 9s. It's like that with every sequel to every show (unless the sequel differs completely from the 1st season), it just proves that Gintama is truly a great show and that's why it's above any other multi-season anime. |

| There can never be enough Gintamas in Top 20. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| I don't see any problem with too many Gintamas in Top 20 |

Twileska said: Pff why would you change those scores if you love the series so much? If you feel like you should rate all of it with 10s then do it, it just means that you love the franchise so much that you can't give it any lower score even if some sequels are a little worse than the others. I am going to give every Gintama entry I've ever seen a 10 because it is my favorite show ever and I am almost certain it will be for the rest of my life and I don't have a heart to rate any of it lower. I don't care if someone doesn't like my scores, because it's just how I genuinely feel.Unlike other much larger series such as detective conan with 25 seasons or one piece with 19 seasons, etc. Gintama is more a seasonal release rather than a continual one, and there is always the chance they may not make another.

I don't care if someone doesn't like my scores, because it's just how I genuinely feel. Yeah I get what you mean, though I feel like some of the OVA's and maybe season 6 aren't deserving of a 10, more a 9. I rated them as if it were all 1 entry like one piece, though they actually aren't, at least on MAL. I still find it funny though how people are upset about gintama being divided into individual entries when series like ./hack, ghost in the shell, gundam, etc. all have like a 50+ entries each easily. Even shows like dragon ball, one piece, and detective conan have a good 13-20+ on movies alone and even more with OVA's, etc. If I am to assume the sole difference is because most of these gintama entries make it in the top of the anime section, then I'm curious why it annoys anyone at all when you know it's entries and not series and that they are separate entries because they in fact stopped airing for a period between seasons, hence why the first entry is 4 seasons since it was continuous. Between breaks the information and or quality of a series could change a lot depending on where they go with it making it more annoying to unify all the entries as a single one. All I gather from seeing so many in the top is that many people enjoy the series in it's entirety rather than just sections (Since I'm certain there are series here who fall into that situation). At least, that's how I see it. |

| Because its the best anime that was ever invented, there's no anime that could be better than Gintama :v |
 "Only one with the courage to shoulder the burden of their own fate can be called a hero.." |
| Because the anime has a small but ravenous fanbase that rates the anime very high each season. This site won't merge them under one entry so it's best not to take the top anime list seriously. |

Ununpentium said: it just proves that Gintama is truly a great show and that's why it's above any other multi-season anime. Literally all it proves is that it pleases people who already loved the first. The firstseasons has 400k watchers, but Gintama. has only 60k users. That's really not an indication of any quality but more a gap caused by the rating system. Also, if new shows are separated by seasons, then why the hell older shows like Ranma 1/2 aren't? If you're gonna use a set of rules, use them for everything or it's pointless. MechKingKillbot said: SkyFullOfStars said: well there are many different seasons of Gintama and it's pretty good.

Clebardman said: Well that's what I said before, the only people who watch the sequels are people who love the show, that's why sequels are almost always rated higher. What I meant in my last sentence was that Gintama is a really good show (in my opinion and a lot of other individuals') that is liked by a lot of people and that's why all of its main seasons are ranked above 9, even the first season. For example Haikyuu has 3 seasons and each of them is ranked higher than the previous one, but they're ranked lower than Gintama.Ununpentium said: it just proves that Gintama is truly a great show and that's why it's above any other multi-season anime.

The same goes for the very first Gintama entry on mal. It has 201 episodes and guess what, it's also divided into seasons, just like Ranma, but because it was airing without breaks it is seen on mal as one season, just like Ranma. Other seasons of Gintama are treated as other entries because there was always a at least 1 year long break between them. It's just like asking why season one of Attack on Titan which aired 4 years ago and season 2 which aired this year aren't treated on mal as one entry.Also, if new shows are separated by seasons, then why the hell older shows like Ranma 1/2 aren't? If you're gonna use a set of rules, use them for everything or it's pointless. |
