Review of Gintama
This anime. I can't even talk about without laughing or smiling. You don't even know what's in here, you won't be able to expect what will happen, you cannot predict anything that happens here, it's just simply crazy. Though I must say, begginings were hard, this humor is not for everybody. It is basically a rather silly one, that is represented in a crazy unpredictable and incomprehensible way possible. And even though while being funny in a weird way, the writers still manage to make epic, romantic or sad scenes, that will just hit your face from nowhere. But basically you will laugh, laugh hard. You find yourself injapan, on earth, that was conquered by aliens, it was during Edo period (around 1700 year), aliens took over control and gave humans freedom, so they actually live as they were used to. Some of them still fight with aliens, and some them like Gintoki the main character is totally okay with it (well not in full respect).
Unfortunately the series didnt finish, they ran out of money while making it. BUT it is to come back in April, which is amazing, and I can't wait for that to happen.
It's just crazy, and I just love it. It's one of the best, of the best, of the best. It's almost a masterpiece.
VIBE:
Heheheheeh
It's different every time, every arc has a different story it, with different vibe involved. They tend to change the style quite often, the style of storytelling so to say.
It's also a ultimate parody, they tend to throw every genre of anime out there, and laugh about it. Those are perfect jokes.
It can be epic, it can be sad, it can be fucking funny, so funny that you will burst into laugh on an episode basis, and that is wonderful. I do think that writers are geniuses in what they are doing, they know exactly what a scene like that should consist of, while still remaining original.
ART STYLE:
For some it might look old, well the first season was made in 2006, and it had black borders on it, they remade it in the next season, giving it Full resolution HD quality.
But I do like it, especially the animation of fight, wait for them, most of them are just fantastic.
Overall the animation quality is good, I could get behind it having black borders, because it looked cool.
To be honest, Gintoki, the main character with silver hair, is quite similar to me :D
MUSIC/VOICEACTING:
I just love all the openings, there's like 8 of them, and I have them on my phone, listening to it on daily basis, especially Prague-Light Infection, try listening to that.
Soundtrack is good, it varies from sad to cheerful pieces, I always appreciate sad soundtrack in animes, I listened to this one a couple of good times, enjoyed them all.
Voiceacting is funny, as it should be. All the main characters have funny voices. Of course they can change it to be epic, and they do that. But even though when they talk, or get angry, it's just funny to listen to.
Often they would make short cuts to talk with you, like interact with you. Characters would show that they are aware of you, and aware of you watching them.
STORYLINE:
Actually there's not much of a storyline, I mean there's just a lot, they don't stick with one plot, they made arcs, during every arc they would guide you through a different story, and when I say different, it is different, in every and each aspect.
There was one thing that survived through all the arcs, but they will continue it in the next season, they ran out of time and money to make something with that.
Overall I like all the arcs, I even have my favorites, loved all the characters. It's super enjoyable to watch, the begginings are hard it difficult to understand what is going on, but when you get accustomed with the craziness, you will have so much fun.
CONCLUSION:
It's one of the best of the best, an ultimate parody of everything. An epic and sad experience, it's incredible.
Just try to understand the craziness, this is crucial. Enjoy the show!
