Review of Gintama

My first review ever, and unfortunately a negative one, but i'll do my best to explain why i'm giving it such a score. * Story * [2/10] Since this is a comedy anime most episodes are loose and don't really have any important conection with each other, but sometimes there are some 'serious' arcs where story develops, so my rating is of those arcs. Story is generaly weak with no mindblowing twists, it wasn't as bad to watch as most episodes, but it was mostly the same formula as everything we have seen before, strong bad guy and good guy takes a good beating and then defeats thevilan, nothing special, even though the art is quite great, but i'll talk about that later.
Then we had some single episodes with a story within them, and these were realy poorly done, they broke the whole feels train by making a dumb unfunny joke while in the peak of the drama, and while the story of the episode was really good it was just plain ruined by them breaking the rhythm.

* Art * [9/10]
Can't complain about anything, it was really good, the fights were very well animated and great artstyle.

* Sound * [8/10]
Here im only going to talk about soundtracks, openings and endings, and i have once again nothing to complain here, openings were great, endings it has one of the greatest endings i have ever seen "samurai heart", and ost was on point most of the times.

* Character * [2/10]
This was one of the greatest downfalls for the anime in my opinion, let me state the anoying trifecta : Shinpachi, Otae and Sarutobi.
Shinpachi: you know when you are telling a joke and the other person doesn't get it and you have to explain it making it really anoying, yeah, now imagine someone screaming the joke in your ears everytime a joke is said... yes, not very fun is it?
Otae: Typical strong femaly character beating up the MC, not much to be said.
Sarutobi: It was an original character i'll give them that, but boy did it get repetitive, and when i say repetitive i mean repetitive, not to say the screaming wich seems to the only thing the anime thinks its funny for the viewers.
Buuuuuut, there were some funny characters that were *not* anoying in the little screen time they did manage to get, the shogun, hijikata, and gintoki, those were the characters that truly were funny whenever they were on screen, shame was that gintoki was many times overshadowed by shinpachi's screaming, ruining most jokes.

* Enjoyment * [1/10]
Screaming, unfunny jokes, punching other people and such, unfortunately this was most of the episodes, out of the 300 episodes i've seen, i've only enjoyed and laughed at probably 20~30 wich is very bad, the reason why i kept going will be explained after. But it's not all bad news, some of the episodes i did enjoy i REALY enjoyed them, but they were so rare that watched gintama very very slowly, just when i had nothing else to watch.
The humour was also very simple, no real complexity and as i stated before all the jokes are explained to you via screaming, wich as i said is not enjoyable.

* Overall * [2/10]
Why did i watch it you ask? Well, bunch of reasons, first it was very high rated here and everyone seemed to love it to death, second i very rarely drop a show, third, people always said it would get better as time went by and unfortunatly it did not. I stated watching from episode 3 with an open mind and it was just a pain from begining to the end. Unfunny jokes, screaming and punching is this show in a nutshell. In the end i think you either love or don't, as simple as that, if you plan on watching this, start on episode 3 and watch 3 or 4 episodes, if you simply did not enjoy at all, don't try watching this, if you liked go ahead, you won't be disapointed.
For anyone wondering if i simply don't enjoy comedy shows, while not directly related i have watched simpsons, american dad, cleveland, southpark, and while yes these aren't anime, they are very well known comedy shows, and i thought for myself if i really liked all of these then i'd like gintama too, i didn't.
Another thing i did was watch a youtube video of funny moments and most of those i laughed really hard, and those were basicaly the episodes i liked when i watched the whole thing, disapointing.
