Review of Gintama

Gintama caught my eyes a few months back, and at first it seemed cool but a little confusing. I mean, what was a giant dog-like creature doing with a samurai in a modern city? And what was up with the giant duck? I didn't pay much attention to it at first, but I decided to give it a go. The first 20 episodes or so introduce characters and their personalities and backgrounds and so on, but after that it's just one crazy plot after another! There aren't many arcs, and the arcs Gintama has are short 2-5 episode arcs, but that doesn't stop it frombeing amazing.
Full of random comedy with no real plot throughout the entire series (except for its arcs), I found this anime amazing! I don't read manga, but if I do, it's for an amazing anime that I discovered and wish to continue even if the anime ends! And that's saying a lot, because I always prefer anime over manga. Gintama is an exception.
After the first arc you will be hooked. By episode 100 you will love it. By episode 150 you'll practically be having a Gintama marathon.
It's funny, it's dark, it's serious when it needs to be. It's epic and awesome. And your favorite character, Gin-san, has the darkest history of all- one that will keep you hooked and watching! I love this anime, and maybe you'll need a little warming up to it and get a feel of its style, but I seriously recommend watching Gintama!
At least to the first arc! You will be hooked by then for sure! :)
