"Manga endings might always end the same. However, if it comes to life. Neither you or I are mere readers. We are writers. We can change the ending." - Gintoki Sakata, Gintama

It’s amazing how the comedy of Gintamano Bay holds up even years later, and i think it’s due to not only how the show knows when to take itself seriously, but also how different character dynamics have different types of comedy. It means that the show can always keep things fresh so you never get bored of the humour.

"Nintendo Wii Arc" alright you sold me on the show.

Gintama can be VERY hit or miss, but when it hits, it hits like the finest cheese. I honestly love Gintama. It does take some investment as it goes through all kinds of odd moments and experiments, with even Sorachi just outright saying either through the characters or himself, that a trope is too repeated or halfassed or boring, with the main characters stopping an arc at the first couple of pages, only to shit on Sorachi and his lack of creativity. When the action and drama hits, it hits, brother. Sorachi makes A LOT of promises, and usually delivers. That's how good this is.

One of my favorite OST songs is "women who ask whats more important work or me deserve a german suplex" I admit the title does some work.

The only way to end this year with a bang. LOVE GINTAMA FOREVER

"Even if you're a main character, you can still die... I better be careful-ttebayo." - Gintoki Sakata, Gintama

man, there were some gintama arcs that legit gave me feels

One of the best animes I'd ever accidentally stumbled across and still at my number one. It just hit that sweet spot with strongs characters for me. When I began it, I figured it was just the funny haha comedy show but as soon as the Mitsuba arc happens, it absolutely knocked the wind out of me. So much done in 2 episodes that other long running shounen fail to do in 80: Make me care about the characters

Another meaning about Gintama is "Silver Soul."

you may have revealed your Gintoki body pillow, pretending that's the most embarrassing, weeby thing you own. but we know you got worse, the highschool katana collection, show it.

Gintama was a hidden gem when I discovered it. I tried to explain to my friends how he's basically the deadpool of Shounen but that's still underselling it.

Glad to see you like Tsukuyo, she's the best! Her design, personality, and her voice, done by Yuuko Kaida, is perfection.

“Comedy characters are always the strongest characters.” A 25 part thesis on why Goku loses to Gintama. 🎩 🐍 no step on Snek!🇺🇸🇭🇰

I had Majima/Okita's theme from Ishin is surprisingly close to the vibe of Gintama. I sometimes struggled to separate the characters in Ishin and gintama while I played it. I found it especially hilarious how Katsura was on "stand-by" a the beginning of Ishin. Def one of my favourite gags from the anime.

Samurai Heart is incredible, but Shura and Donten are my favs. And Togenkyo Alien. Honestly, it has so many banger OPs and EDs that it's hard to just pick a couple.

2:30 So basically it's a satire of the opening of Japan by the United States.

Gintama is the goat indeed. The comedy, the serious, the sad moment is well balanced. The interaction between the characters are also so well-written with a very deep build-up, it don't feel forced at all.

Dammnit Loli. Now I wanna rewatch every episode of Gintama again.

been watching gintama off and on since 2015 ill finish one day videos like these always make me want to start watching again

I'm probably going to enjoy every single bit of this franchise in whatever form of media it comes in. Loli never steers us wrong with his recommendations and great videos.

I still think its possible for Gintama to be adapted into a video game but the only studio I trust to do it is RGG Studios that do the Yakuza games like you mentioned. Any gintama and yakuza fan can see that RGG is kind of showing us they can pull it off. They're basically teasing us this point. Yakuza takes place in Kabukicho for a lot of the series which is where Gintama takes place. Yakuza as a series has some similarity to Gintama with its fun over the top side quests or SoL eps in Gintama and a serious main plot. RGG already has some experience in making anime games with Fist of the North Star so its not like this will be their first anime although FOTNS and Gintama are 2 completely different series. But the biggest one is that RGG just made a Yakuza spinoff game remake that literally takes place during the Edo Period with a lot if not all the cast being historical figures which is all part of Gintama. If RGG is not perfect studio to do Gintama justice in gaming, idk what other studio can.

This channel has quickly become one of favorites. I respect he doesn't just cover one genre like anime or movies, but anything that interests the creator. I watched his 21hr berserk synopsis in like 3 days, it was awesome

This is nuts to see in my recommended as i just finished Gintama about a month ago now and it is still living in my head rent free. Not only my favorite anime of all time but it's just one of my favorite things ever. Characters, story, humor, message, etc just feels so unique and alive as well as just appealing to my admittedly very strange tastes and left an insane impact on me from the year and a half I spent watching it. While I got into the series pretty quickly, around the first ten episodes or so, I do get why it's a bit of a hurdle for some to get into as comedy is difficult to commit to but man, I'll always think people are missing out when they drop it. It's just a brilliant series. Good video and glad to see more Gintama videos on KZfaq because there isn't nearly as much as other series.

Gintama is legit funny... even with the culture barrier...

This is my best friends top like 3 anime. We’ve watched clips of this for hours it’s so insane I love it. Gintoki’s va being chosen to be Joseph joestar was a clear sign this show is beloved

i'm so glad to see gintama getting some love. have a nice day and keep up the good work

Another fantastic suggestion. Started this show yesterday and I have already hurt myself laughing several times😂

Will never forget watching gintama back in hs with the boys. Great times.

Thank you for covering my favorite anime and one of my first. I'm glad that more people can appreciate this gem

Duuuuuuuude, probably my favorite of the Big 3. Every so often I wake up and wonder when the next chapter comes out only to be reminded that the series has wrapped up. Hopefully Gorilla Sensei doing good as we haven't heard from him in a while and there hasn't been any indication of new projects. Was a little sad that US Jump dropped it after hitting 23 volumes cause the next major arc that came up was amazing.

I've already seen all of the show and I love it, but this episode just reminded me to watch it again. It's that good. Happy Holidays y'all.

I’m exactly 3 minutes 8 seconds into this video and just have to say I’m so glad to see someone make a video and love Gintama as much as I do. I have watched a metric shit ton of anime, its my favorite type of media to consume and I watch waaay more of it than any western media, and out of the countless anime I’ve watched if Gintama is not my favorite all time anime, it’s easily in my top 3. It has everything, it can be badass battles, honest, smart, I’ve been touched and borderline teared up, and the best part is it is the funniest anime ever, which I think hurts it overall since people don’t take comedy seriously, but goddamn, for a show that is written in a whole other culture about Samurai in ancient Japan with alien overlords, it has made me laugh my ass off, the only other anime that comes close (and it’s a distant second) is Konosuba. Now I know it’s a fairly well known anime, but I’ve always been surprised that it isn’t loved by everyone, as it should be. Again, I feel like people ignore it because it’s a “comedy anime” but it’s so much more, it’s all the other things I mentioned and “the best, funniest comedy anime”. I mean, most of the characters are based on real historical people in ancient Japan!! I’m not even sure how you’re making this video, is it 6 hours long? I think that would be the only way to truly do this show Justice. Now to finish watching your video.

What the fuck man I just finished the show and now I have one of my favorite new channels talking about it, this really is Christmas come early.

Man I only watched the first 200 eps and movies and live action movies Really need to get back on this franchise Been way too long

Gintama bros HERE WE GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Great review! It was one of the first anime I watched, but I still loved it, even though people say you have to know other anime for it to be funny. I watched Saiki K. and I loved the comedy. I remember that people in the comments were talking about how similar in the comedy department is Gintama, so I decided to watch it, not knowing anything about it other than that. So the serious stuff was completely unexpected, and I was shocked seeing blood in the Benizakura Arc. It's still my favourite anime ever, even though I also loved and watched other legendary anime like One Piece and HxH. Gintama is absolutely fantastic and I'm planning to rewatch it soon. This time I do also want to read the manga since I didn't before. I also can't wait for the Ginpachi Sensei anime in 2025 it's going to be great!!!

Oguri shun playing gintoki in the live action was actually a joke in the anime. Anime gintoki says several times that oguri shun should play him in the live action. That's why him being a cooler gintoki is kind of an inside joke

Love that you used Bad Religion to open.

I want to experience Gintama again from the very first!!

Never ask a xenophobe what species his girlfriend is

I never got around to Gintama, but I've been meaning to check it out one day. This definitly made me move it up the list. 👍

Another successful TAL upload enjoy your Gintama (*sips Chalice*)

Thanks for this birthday present cunny man!

Bad religion in the intro goes hard, good video my guy

best christmas gift ever!

It's finally here so I'm overjoyed even though I was expecting it to be over an hour long. I guess this is ok since Loli has talked about this for many hours on his streams.

Fuck yeah!!!! This is one of my favourite anime hands down. I've laughed to the point of crying so many times watching Gintama

A NEW GINTAMA REVIEW ON KZfaq??? YESSSSSS

This series is also in the top 10 most highly rated series on MAL. Is it really that good?

Happy 20th anniversary to the gintama manga 2003 2023

There are only two types of people: 1. Absolutely hates Gintama for what it is; and 2. Gintama is the GOAT. No contest. Hands down. I'm the latter. Also, worth mentioning is that when Gintoki or whoever starts talking sense with THE classical guitar plucking song playing in the background, you'd know what's up.

23:20 You keep saying "Red Spider Arc" but I keep mishearing it as "Brett Spiner Arc".

Great video

System shock 2 soundtrack on 33rd minute was quite unexpected 😮

Definitely an anime i'll put on the list, it's interesting how the anime and manga do there own spin on the material. Also to add to the list, Rie Kugimiya is also Rise in Persona 4 so "Jennifer hale of japan" is not too far off.

A new TAL video? It's a Kwanzaa Miracle!

Example of a Gintama joke that almost murdered me. After the whole series Hijikata easting Mayonnaise The first screen of him in the genderbent arc ... I died. They didnt even need to say it 🤣

ok wait I havent seen this anime and the intro looks crazy, be right back

A Gintama game by the God hand team would be so fucking good. The tone of that game is very similar. I think most of them are working at tango now.

I had to make 3 attempts to watch it, cause it has really a "slow" start, but the more you go further, the better it gets. now binching it ever here and then.

Now we wait for the class 3z spinoff to come out Also, my favorites: Arc: Courtesean of a nation or Four devas. Song: Hana Ichi Monme- Burnout Syndromes. Character: Sakamoto and Tama. Favorite moment: Penile brake.

Scarred beautiful women are always recommended to be top tier waifus of any series.

I am th3 ONE PERCENT Since EP.01 I LOVE IT

Hey Loli, awesome video. Was wondering if you’d ever consider making a couple videos on Mobile suit Gundam. I wish I had money to commission you but I’m just some broke kid. Merry Christmas!

The fist of the north star and more In a poll episode...

Out the Shonen jump roster of MC. The two black sheep are Gintoki and ichigo they have NO ulterior motives in that they do gintoki fights for his friends smile. Ichigo fights for friends and family and anyone who needs it...they are pure MC Greatness.

I really need to finish watching Gintama. One of the best intro/) & outro songs.

For new watchers, definitely appreciate those comedic episodes because after season 4 episode 40, it gets depressing

Personally, I do think that if any studio could do a Gintama game justice, it’s Ryu Ga Gotoku studio. The blend of whacky fun and serious plot. Side stories are basically Gintama’s “filler” episodes anyway. We already know they can work with swords as a fighting style through Kenzan and Ishin. Kabukicho and kamurocho are based on the same location and exploring it and the city could be fun. Personally I’d love for a Yakuza 0 style with Gintoki and Hijikata as dual protagonists where you also get to take part in Shinsengumi whackyness

Anime South Park sounds like a fun. Is there a dub?

Really, you are going to talk about Gintama? Amazing. I'm looking for a Yakuza/Ryu Ga Gotoku episode since Rie is Kagura in this show.

8:56 Sugita IS Gintoki. Change my mind. In some of his interviews about other shows he sounded like Gintoki. Lol

I can hear the song Pascal from Nier Automata in the background....

I really wish netflix or sentai filmworks will give this anime an english dub!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why can’t I watch this in full on Hulu? They’ve had it for years but only the first 90 episodes or something and they have yet to get any more in over three years that I’m aware of

Gintama Still my favorite anime ever.

I always juggled Tsukuyo and Nobume depending who's more present at the time. Spent almost half my life with Gintama as my favorite anime such a surreal feeling when the we reached the final.

It ain’t Christmas until we get some Gintamano in our lives.😺

Just find out bout this channel. So, Sket Dance/Astra/Witch Watch review when?

Was not expecting bad religion to make an appearance but it is a welcome one.

You should talk about GODZILLA MINUS ONE. It's everything you love about good movies.

Bro please tell me the name of that song you used in one of your Berserk videos that goes "WAKE UP AND FIIIIIIIIIIIGHT, Fight for the love and the burning LIGHT"

I don't know if you still check comments on your old vids, but you should do a vid on Ghost Stories Dubbed version and how it became a meme.

I really need to pick this back up, I stopped after 87 episodes because I've been distracted by Sci-fi anime, specifically Gundam and Ideon. Also Shinpachi has the same VA as Uso Ewin from Victory Gundam so...I guess if you want to hear Shinpachi's VA cry a lot, go watch Victory Gundam.

Great comparison with calling Gintana the Japanese South Park! That is an actual perfect summary of the show, hardest I’ve laughed in quite some time and I wasn’t expecting it!

Gintama is my favourite manga/anime and stumble on it because of Jump Ultimate Stars lol.I kept watching because is funny but the serious arcs came out of nowhere and legit became GOAT status.

12:23 is that a coincidence that he looks like robin? Or was this for promotional?

I would say the humor is more comparable to Its Always Sunny

I still listen to MADAOs cardboard song from time to time

I rarely watched anime, except Pokemon and Dragon Ball as a kid. Then I saw a Dragon Ball parody AMV on youtube and searched for the episodes listed there. And watched all (at the time) 200 episodes of Gintama. I still rarely watch anime since then, but Gintama is one of my all time favourite series.

Okay, do Bobo-bo next...

Yeah, I'm one of those who tried it by checking out the first two episodes, and it never really clicked with me. So I'll try and go back and check this series out later...

the GREATEST

😂😂maybe you will talk about this.. If you ever seen saiki k Season 2 ep...starts woth the MC of saiki..and then gintoki,shinpachi,kagura just promoting therw new time slot 😂😂😂😂

Lol, love Gintama so much ❤❤❤

One of the best

Got up to episode 100 before I had to switch to an SDD. Saw enough to know it can be pretty good, I'm just to lazy to get it again.

12:20 all I hear is Zoro
