The main characters in both series are similar. Gintoki and Handa are adults who I find really alike. They take care of people younger than themselves, like how Gintoki gave Kagura a place to live and Handa entertaining Naru. These two series give off almost the same aura, feelings, and atmosphere. The story is also set in Japan for the both of them. Comedy is something that isn't lacking in any of the mention anime. Moreover, the life lessons in these anime is the real deal. I truly believe that Gintama and Barakamon are good anime to watch.

Both shows manage to blend hilarious comedy flawlessly with surprisingly heartwarming depth. Both develop their characters in a way that makes them lovable, and yet we are capable of laughing at their failures. Barakamon is a little more polished in my opinion, while Gintama I more over the top. While there is a huge difference in setting, the themes and core story structure is the same. Again, Barakamon has it's story a lot more fleshed out, while Gintama has a broader view of all it's ideas.
