Review of Gintama

Gintama kind of grows on you once you watch initial 5-6 episodes. It's hilarious and has serious notes in it at the same time (and suddenly they will just poop all over serious parts so they are not so serious anymore ;D). The series takes place is era where land of samurai is conquered by aliens and carrying swords around is banned. Our protagonist Gintoki Sakata is ex samurai who loves relaxed lifestyle. Despite of fighting fierce battle against alien invasion and being renowned as silver beast samurai, he is just not interested in fighting anymore. Now, he works as "Jack of all treads" with histwo companions Shinpachi Shimura (apprentice who wants to learn way of samurai from Gintoki) and Kagura (who is alien with superhuman strength).

There are also very interesting supporting characters such as Sinpachi's sister, ninja assassins of Onibawanshu and my personal favorites Police samurais of Shinsengumi.

There is not very noticeable background score as such in first seasons but Anime has great opening and closing OSTs.

Reasons you should watch: Abstract scenarios with all sorts of weird funny situations. Most of the episodes are not lumped into arcs so can start watching from any episode.

You should avoid this one if : you don’t like too much crazy and randomly branching plots. (But I will suggest to watch it )
