Review of Gintama
This is my first review, but I truly am passionate about Gintama so please do read! ---------------------------------------------------- You do NOT watch Gintama for the story, you do NOT watch Gintama because there is a cliffhanger in every episode and you do not "streak-watch" Gintama. You watch Gintama in your own phase untilll you reach episode 58, then you will do the above. Gintama is a Comedy. Meaning you watch a episode, and you're done, You feel satisfied and can move on with your day. If not, then you watch another just to laugh some more. Then your question comes, "why do I wanna watch 300 episodoes (of total)with just comedy and nothing really to get out from it?"
- Let me tell you the story of the most entertaining casts of characters you will ever witness.
Gintama has a special and utmost uniqe way to approach every possible scenario you can imagine. Gintama makes you feel something about a show that you never have thought was possible before, obviously this is more a personal matter. I do not think Gintama is the best show ever made, but I think it was the most entertaining show ever made, I was never bored when watching this as I sure was for all other long-running animes.
But if someone has watched the WHOLE show and for some reason says that "it was okay" or the lines of "I cant say its a masterpiece" is clearly proof that this person enjoys either really old shows from 1980/likes naked kids/has no understanding of what makes a show so special. A person like that just doesnt exist (if you do please fix yourself).
"So you still haven't explained why Gintama is the most entertaining show there is..." -You sitting there.
-When you create a show with probably some of the most entertaining characters ever made with superb comedy, you get attached to the characters, you laugh with them in thier daily life struggles. Theese are the factors that makes a show so much better then those who doesn't.
But then when suddendly something dramatic happends, you feel more, and the way Gintama provides theese perks/factors is one of the best I've seen in Anime.
When goofy and lovely characters fight for thier lives in a extremly high-phased action way with incredible scenes and quotes, you just cant hate it at all.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
So if you have come this far in the review and you still don't feel like watching Gintama, trust me on this. Watch slowly untill episode 58, you can even skip episodes but I recommend you to watch them all.
If you have come passed episode 60 and you still do not wanna watch more, I won't stop you, then this is not for you.
Gintama overall is the most fun show I've ever witnessed. Thanks!
