gintama fans are simple: we see an op reaction, we desperately try to convince everyone to watch the series

Gintama, the series that was cancelled three times, BUT CAME BACK! It's like a venereal disease that you have that you eventually come to love. It's an anime series made by an anime fan for anime fans. It's like all the best parts of the Simpsons and South Park, but with feels and action thrown in. On the record, my Number 1 favorite anime of all time.

Gintama is basically the Deadpool of anime. It breaks the 4th wall left,right and centre. It parodies every other anime out there. One can describe Gintama as 75% comedy, 10% a great story, 10% badass fight scenes and 5% emotional rollercoaster.

Gintama is one of the most beloved show in Japan, it is equivalent to their Simpsons. The studios cannot afford to mess this up, which is why while they're not high budget everything about the anime is made with care. The fact that the studios themselves love the series also helps.

Gintama is one of the few shows that the fillers are pretty fucking good. And the whole show is a must to watch. In the beginning is a little slow-paced but it gets better and better.

Greatest shonen of all time. The Gorilla mangaka is a genius

If you're curious about why every op's so good, you'll find part of the reason in the fillers. The anime staff has a blast animating this show and they love it to the point where they constantly have to apologize to higher-ups and angry parents for the crude jokes and daring style, yet STILL don't censure a single one. Since the anime is self-aware, they can really go all out with the fillers and have the characters chat about how the production budget is low and they get complaints all the time lol. The only fillers you shouldn't watch are ep 1 and 2 cause they confuse the hell out of people. If you do a reaction on youtube, I'll definitely tune in! PS: for all those interested, you can hear the director (the old man inside Elizabeth!) and other staff members/voice actors talk about Gintama in a eng subbed interview for the release of the Benizakura Movie (available on KZfaq). The love is real.

The best piece of fiction ever written

Carson: "Is this happy days?" Arc during that opening: NO

Been watching anime religiously since early 90s, and this is by far my favorite comedy anime!!!

One thing that I really regret in my life was putting Gintama on my plan to watch list for years. When I finally watched it together with my brother, oh my it was one of the best entertainment I've ever had in my life. If you feel like you want to watch the show, please do it now and don't put it on hold for too long. Gintama is not only known for their memes and insane 4th wall breaking habits, and also how is the comedic aspects able to hide the true serious nature of the show, but also how they makes every "seems-unimportant" episodes tied neatly into the storyline much later on. Definitely worth checking out. Especially it will be different from any of the shows you are currently reacting to.

Man the endings of the show are also great. 👌

Gintama, yes, this is the only anime that cannot be or rather should not be compared to any other anime. I have watched a lot of anime and i would and most people who have finished Gintama would say that all the shows like Hunter x Hunter,Jojo,One Piece or AOT can fight for second as Gintama for me is undoubtedly no. 1 and you guys will say the same too after watching the show. The anime has not finished completely as a movie will come out on 2021 adapting the final chapters of the manga, dont worry u guys did not get spoiled about shit and i would say watching the more popular longer shows first is advisable as watching Gintama will be more enjoyable that way.

In case you guys watch it, start from episode 3 . Because episode 1 and episode 2 are adaptation celebration content , not actual episodes. For other fillers you guys definetly should watch because there are just few and sometimes they are better than actual comedy episodes

Ah, the Gintama Greatness. No other anime combines nonsense comedy, dramatic backstories, and epic sword fights like Gintama. The humor and trolling is so beyond, the 4th wall itself ceased to exist in the show. A masterpiece you never thought a gorilla wanting to be reincarnated as a hamburger could write. Absolute GREATNESS!!!!!!!!!

Good reaction but y’all skipped opening 10

actually, the opening that you said earlier a little below the others, is actually one of the best so far, especially if you know the story behind it. because it contains one of the best arcs in the series, trust me, this is some good anime here Edit : This is the best anime in my entire life :) still the best out of 150+ anime I've watched

Seeing Carson and lindsey praising and loving the openings of Gintama just put a big smile on my face. As a Gintama fan I'm just happy to see reactors genuinely loving and enjoying the show plus they enjoyed this more than Black Clover and FairyTail which has some Godly Openings. So excited to see you guys react to this series someday and more power to you and to this channel.

to that patron who requests this reaction....very much appreciated :))))))

"Why don't they get a second moped? It's not that expensive." ...they're broke.

The paint opening in 26:40 happened because one of the main chraracter sister killed the author, so he draw the opening himself 🤣🤣👍

Ahhh Gintama. What an amazing show. You guys did miss out on OP 10 though. The Manga did end but the anime hasn't finished yet. They're doing a movie to end Gintama. As for the fillers, Most of Gintama feels like filler because it is an episodic anime, Plus there isn't much filler anyway.

You should react to the endings aswell they’re really good. Also there’s the gintama yorinuki openings

Do gintama endings 1-30 they are as good if not better than the openings and episodes 1-2 are filler to celebrate the series getting an anime and the rest of the series barely has any filler but even the few episodes that are filler/recaps are hilarious and shouldn’t be skipped

Gintama is consistently good. Its so good you dont even know what is filler and canon.

Its not as grand and have big budget like any popular show that you should watch but all im gonna say is gintama is a definitely must watch once a lifetime..its too great to be left in the dust..

I love how you guys went from being hesitant to watch it because of the number of episodes to being disappointed because the openings ended lmao. Your reactions and comments are so passionate, great reaction! Edit: Oh yeah, definitely watch the endings. Some of them are just as good or better.

Ah yes Gintama aka DragonBleaPiece

God, this is making me want to rewatch the whole show Even if you don't react to it, watch it still!!!

Carson: Another solid opening Lindsay: But dat dog tho. Me: Keep it up.

That one made in paint was from an arc where the mangaka was "killed" so the episode had lots of art styles

Facts I came across long ago: Basically studio staffs were bored so they create the paint version using theirs non-dominant hands and just go with it while in the anime the excuse is Sorachi (mangaka) got taken out (for certain reason 👁👄👁) hence no original artist so they just do anything And YES Gintama is the kind of anime that has the balls to do the craziest shit The ONLY anime dared to put up an MS paint opening and aired it nationwide and still got away with it

The MS Paint opening of "Light Infection" was a parody special created by the staff for a specific mini arc in the series. I won't go into the details since I shouldn't spoil you on what happens in the arc, but there is a story that the animation team at the time was messing around and trying to redraw the opening sequence for this season on MS Paint; but using their non dominant hands. Someone among their higher ups saw this and thought it'd be a great idea to use it as a gag to replace the original for the upcoming arc. They thought he was joking when he said that....he wasn't joking. 😅

„I am so astonished by the balls of this show“ Well it’s not called „Gintama“(silver balls) for nothing

Clearly the best Comedy shounen series... The themes says a lot but it doesn't show how really ridiculously funny it is

As a die hard Gintama fan I’m so glad I found a channel that watched all versions of the intros. I’m even more happy because of the positive reviews of the openings. You guys should watch the filler, there might be an episode that flops here and there but overall you will laugh, cry, even get mad at the show at one point but you will love every minute of it

There's two types of anime watchers: - People who haven't watched Gintama - People who have Gintama in their top 5 EDIT: Ngl, Gintama probably started the whole Paint parody opening thing. The actual story is that they did that opening because of something that happened at the end of the previous episode. It's a spoiler though, but it's related to the show's production; the manga has a similar joke. EDIT 2: IN CONTEXT, opening 20 is one of the hypest. It goes through several iterations as more characters show up, and it showcases how the whole cast comes together to fight. It's one of my favourites, actually.

I've watched around 200 anime , and Gintama is my favorite by far. It has the "realest" character cast ever. They just joke around like idiots , trying to hide some pain or emotional baggage.. At the beginning it seems like a comedy with the plot going nowhere , but it's definitely noty. It has this flow between comedy and drama that no other show has.. one second you're laughing , and a second later your eyes are watering up. They know when to make you laugh , and when to hit you hard in the feels.. I cannot recommend this to everyone sadly , because the start is slow and you need to watch to get invested , but once you do ..holy shit does it get good. I don't think it will be a problem for you two , because you seem to have watched enough anime and learned to appreciate the details from what I've seen in your reactions. Anyway you were asking about OP 19 , cause it seems more cheerful than the rest. It is because it's all the filler episodes combined into a season. From episode 300~ the anime starts getting heavy into the story and plot , and they didn't want to break up the tone with filler comedy. That's why they took all the episodes into a comedic only filler season. But don't get me wrong , even the serious arcs still have loads of comedy .. it is just relevant to the main story and it's freaking hilarious. Gintama is not a shounen tho , it has like 20 genres , and when it decides to be a shounen , it does it better than most .. same for comedy or drama. It also has sick endings , some of them have still shots like most endings , but the songs are amazing. You should react to them if you want to continue the journey , some people like them better than the openings. PS: I think you skipped op 10 ?

Gintama is just a complete package of anime.. everything you can find in this show.. imagine all genre of anime become one of masterpiece.. and i dare to say that Gintama has the best MC of shounen anime character.. beat me.. and even you get spoiled of this show.. its still cant compared while you watch the actual show.. Sorachi the author is a genius and the animator team do a great great jobs...

Everybody saying GINTAMA is the best anime but deep down we know that Gitaman, Mantama,and Dragonbleapiece are the top 3 anime

Gintama can do EVERYTHING!

"Every character in Gintama is a main character" - Gintoki (actual main character)

OP15, Pride Kakumei, is legit one of my favorite openings in anime, and I haven't even seen the show. There's something about it, idk. The song's just great, and I love how the scenes are structured.

The comedy and the serious arcs in the show are all great. And the fillers are good there is no reason to skip them they’re like every comedy episode in the show. And in case you guys do a reaction start with ep 3 because ep 1 and 2 are specials celebrating the adaptation and they spoil the characters that will appear later. P.S Sorry if there are mistakes english is not my primary language.

You could try react to "one second from every gintama ep"

you should defo check it out, as a comedy anime the author is so great at building up long stories and setting up arcs with comedy that pays off in later seasons

Fun fact: op 19 looks like the older ops cause the arc has moments that happened before op 17, and they wanna give it that older vibe

there are only about 20 filler episodes in Gintama and all of them are great, i'd only say skip episodes 1 and 2 as those were made for manga readers and to celebrate Gintama getting an anime and features many characters that don't show up for a while. But whenever you start it we're sure you'll love it, Myanimelist isn't the best ranker of quality out there but Gintama takes up 50% of the top 10 for a reason.

26:24 oh you guys haven't seen nothing of what this show has the guts to do.

This Matsumoto Urken/Urkin fellow is a literal legend. Usually people get a more "formal" playlist.

Paint opening is perfect, I almost died laughing in that chapter. aaaa

About the paint opening, there’s an arc where the characters kill the mangaka, so they had to do the paint intro 😂 There is a non-paint version

Can't wait to see their reaction in Gintama show.

I think the reason gintama's ops are so good is that the production had so much liberty to do whatever they wanted with it for most of it and it seemed that they had fun making it

think of a genre for a show, and u will probably find it in some form in gintama. Comedy, romance, shounen, seinen, action, psychological etc. the author is a genius. Whenever he tackles each thing, he does a ridiculously good job at it. Especially the later parts. The beginning was decent, but the later parts are crazy good.

Gotta thank Matsumoto Urkin(Don't know the actual spell) for giving them this amazing Gintama List to react and salute to you for putting that Gintaman and op 8 paint version opening lol.

And you guys are so attentive to the details present in the openimgs and i love it.

YESSSSS i really love the gintama openings so happy you checked the specials ver too, the last ending really got me especially with them bringing back SPYAIR who did an opening and ending that I loved! Hope you can check out the endings too

Every episode leaves you laughing with "wtf did I just watch?! Next episode"

Gintama stands as its own meme show. Try "one second of every gintama episode". You won't regret it!!!

gintama even nailed a live action and thats never happened ever before

I hope you see this: don’t watch the first and second episodes, or as they are know the special episode, because it’s a special celebrating the fact that the show is now animated. You won’t know anything that happens, and it’s skipable until you know what happens. ALL OTHER FILTER ARE IMPORTANT: it builds the characters for you and within those filters the story is in them as well. Really only the first 2 episodes, know as the special episode I think, should you skip but that because it’s celebration and you won’t know what the hell is going on.

omg you made me so fcking happy. i'm glad you enjoyed the openings, you'll love it even more while watching it. gintama is my favorite anime of all time. you should watch every episode of gintama, i can't even tell if an episode is a filler because it's just that good LOL. btw, you missed opening 10 and kintoki version of opening 12.

OP 20 ends "I don't think I'm gonna remember that one as much" me who finished the series: just wait till you catch up and start to cry

How is it possible that every single opening is so good? It's because this show is just that good. Btw, the endings are amazing as well. If you want to watch Gintama, I'd say the only real filler are the first 2 episodes, that you can skip. The real show starts from episode 3.

Gintama is a god tier anime which cant be compared to any other anime

You miss OP10 guys lol. But this is a really good reaction! ^^

My favorite Anime. You'll really get attached to the Characters like a friend you'll be laughing and crying with...

Gintama is a masterpiece go watch !

I think the story for this show is amazing but there are soooooo many references to other anime and i feel like you’d really need to have a good understanding of other animes as well to fully enjoy gintama.

"why is all the openings so good?" Me remembering the budget cuts episodes: hmmm... Yes

Gintama is definitely stays at the first in my recommendation list to anyone want to watch anime. It’s really worth it! (Btw, Start from episode 3 because the first two are "filler" which is the main Gintama cast celebrating the anime. Episode 3 is chapter 1)

'Gintama' is my favorite Anime of all time, not only the openings and endings are great, but the stories are fantastic too. I'll be glad to see both your reactions to it.

The anime staff really put their heart and soul into the anime even the made for tv non manga filler comedy episodes are made which such love and care that I have never seen

They missed my favorite Opening. Opening 10 was not included. :(

Watching more than 10 years. Watched animes repeatedly. Over 500 series so far. Still Gintama got the best Plot, Characters, comedy and FAN BASE of all time

This show is the most random thing you’ll ever see. This show is hilarious but it’s an “acquired taste”. If you love the first 20 episodes you’ll love the whole show otherwise probably not

Gintama is literally the perfect example of 50% comedy 50% badass

There's gonna be a final movie to wrap up the story

I could not recommend a show to watch any more than this, truly a gem to get you laughing your ass off, and crying to the point of needing emotional support.

You should definitely react to the endings, openings are over but there's still more to see :)

The dog name is Sadaharu. He has many really great episodes centered around him. Personally my favourite is episode 265. One of the best one episode story in Gintama. It doesn't have any spoiler, you can check it out.

Best show in the whole world.

Gintama is an awesome anime,it can be very emotional and funny,but I would recommend you to watch more episodes so you can gradually find out how great the show is

Good comedy and very good serious arcs. I recommend watching it until at least the benizakura arc (around episode 70)

I love your reaction so much! Gintama is the show where the op and ed are so good and great! Even sometimes the ed could be op because it was that dope!! Gintama is really worth to watch so hope you will watch it ✨

At the end of op 21 when gin-san did that, i feel it really feel it even tho i haven't reach that point but it hurts. I feel like it'll be very impactful when it's ended, it's like when i finished sket dance. I know sket dance related to gintama that's why it gave same vibes but this show it's very very AMAZING. And I'm sure after i finished gintama it will end up on my top3 anime for sure, i just know it will. Gin-san himself is my fav MC, even tho his appearance looks like that, but his personality his character is just amazing, when he started to say cool stuff actually it reached me his words very motivated has a deep meaning behind it. thats what i like about him.

"is there a explanation why they are all so good" because everything in gintama is good

I have never watched the show but was curious enough to watch all the openings. I'm grateful to the patron for putting in the special openings as well. I laughed my guts out with the MS Paint opening

Out of all the reactors I watched you guys are the best! The last ending really hit me cause gintoki was walking alone which is something we never saw in any op. I love the anime and I hope you guys watch it! At first it's just comedy but if you still stick into it then I'm sure you'll cry at emotional scenes and get hyped at the fight scenes. Please watch it, you won't regret it!

Op 8 is actually is actually my favorite. It doesn't feel good at first but once you keep listening and know the story it's awesome.

"this is weird ,....... i'm kinda into it tough" is wat every gintama watcher has :D

The playlist they used is this : kzfaq.info/sun/PLltHijgGr2GfzqkiRa_0Wl6Y5caf2tuNt if you see any other KZfaq chanel going to react to Gintama OPS send them this playlist!

So the guy who made this playlist put v2 of the 9th opening which was the exact same except for literally the end of it. But puts the gintoki version of lets go out and excludes the kintoki version? Wtf

A very very good reaction , one of the most complete Gintama opening reaction ;I liked that you saw how much the production loved making this show (in the show the 4th wall is always broked ), Gintama is so good , everyone that ended it loves it a lot , people who talks bad about often hasn't surpass the episode 50 ( the story is slow at the beginning and only comedy but then there the is first serious arc and serious arcs are AMAZING, you skipped opening 10 that is very good

Five months later I'm still waiting for you to start with Gintama, I just finished and it's al ready my favourite shonen, comedy and even slice of life anime! Really hoping you guys get started with this show:)

Great reaction both of you. You said it very corectly with the staff loving and care for the show as a whole. They do amazing work with this series like including paint version opening because the gorilla (author) was killed for an episode thats the reason why openings are so good . The show is also realy loved in Japan, but its kinda less known outside. Its my best anime and many ppl who watched it are saying its thier top 1 or atleast in thier top 5. Probably no need to tell, but Gintama is must watch - the best comedy and parody in anime, great fights, drama, great and lovable characters, wholesome moments and surprisingly deep plot deep in the series. The only flaw is the begining is kinda slow for purpose to introduce the characters because its very character driven, but even they when being rewatched knowing the story behind Gintoki hit harder than the first watch.

It really warm my heart so much to see you guys enjoying those openings. Gintama is one of my favorite anime show of all time and i have seen more than 500+ This anime simply got everything. Action, Comedy, Sad moments, Wholesome moments, Epic scenes. Great characters. Definetly a must watch in my humble opinion. i also enjoyed the filler episodes they are more on the comedy part, it didn't bother me since i love Gintama sense of humour overall. and yes The Dog is cute all the way to the end ^^

this is a comedy show but you'd be surprised at how many people cried so much with this show. this anime is really good, 1 second you're laughing and then you're crying the next XD if you're going to watch gintama, skip episode 1 & 2 they're fillers meant to celebrate the anime adaptation.

This is a reupload right? I think i remember seeing u guys reacted to this openings already or am i imagining things lol But still it's nice to see you guys reacting to my favorite anime of all time and thanks again for this. Love you both and hope to see this channel grow.
