| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- I loved the first episode ^_^ The narration, comedy, characters, its all hilarious ....Also, the lightsaber is what sold me on this show. 5/5 |
  "What happens when we die?" I know that the ones who love us will miss us. |
| Episode 1 and 2 are my least favourite of the whole show. It only gets better from there! |
"I'm starting to think mal is run by Xinil generating electricity on a bicycle." - idklol |
| 1 & 2 are my least favorite as well, but if you liked this then you will love the rest. |
 |
| its pretty dump but funny |
 |
| Yes, lol @ the light saber.. The rest of it was just meh.. |
| The tetris joke was what sold me on this show. |
| LOL! That was..insane. Yet funny. LOVED IT! Though I wouldn't like parody, but this has just enough to keep me entertained! I think I'll like this anime! Especially when blue-haired guy looks pretty cute. |

| At first I was like... "Meh..." Then I was like... "Comedy Shinsengumi? Sold." But then I was like... "Meh..." Then again it was basically a twenty minute episode stretched into a 40+ minute one so I can see how it would improve from here. |
| Just keep watching and don't mind the first couple of episodes, this show takes a little time to get into its stride. Soon you too will be squealing with delight every time you spot a Justaway. |
| the tetris joke was awesome xD lol im loving the animes so far and if it get even better then i cant wait to see more :D 4/5 |
| I must say i didn't like the episode that much, i think the number of jokes and the number of comic scenes was a bit to exaggerated!!! It was fun though.... |

| why is this piece of crap rated so high |
Albert Einstein said: The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing. Neil deGrasse Tyson said: For me, I am driven by two main philosophies: know more today about the world than I knew yesterday and lessen the suffering of others. You'd be surprised how far that gets you. |

| this shouldn't be number one. only seven thousand ppl have even scored it so its not even popular |
checkdafool said: this shouldn't be number one. only seven thousand ppl have even scored it so its not even popular Who cares about number one? I watch animes and read mangas because i like them, not because they are number one or popular, if someone don't like it, it is someone problem, not mine, not yours, watch what you like and be happy with that, that's all. |

| Haha, loved how Gin ran away @ the start x] Also, Okita is awesome. :) |

I would have given it a much lower score based on the first few episodes. Most people would, but the reason it is rated so high is because everyone gave it a chance. However chances are if you absolutely hated the first ep you won't like Gintama as much as I do. I recommend you hang in there for a bit, but Gintama isn't for everyone Can you tell me specifically why you gave it a one? I can't see how it deserves that.. |
| I didn't like the first ep that much but I would hang to it. Some of the best anime don't show much potential on episode 1.. Like One piece. You'll love it after 20 or 30 episode. :3 |

| I was a little disappointed with the first episode...it wasn't as funny as I thought it would be. I understand though that it will probably just get funnier from here so I'll keep watching. |
| This episode pales in comparison to all the other awesome episodes but it wasn't that bad either. |
| I'm simply amazed. Just finished (forcefully) first episode and i already feel absolutely no interest in picking another one. And this is anime that is ranked so highly in MAL (#2)... I probably should keep watching it and try to discover it's greatness but, i just don't want.>< Really, the first episode of Gintama was a real torture and it was so bad that i without any shadow of doubt rate it a 1 (unwatchable) out of 10 and drop it. I guess it's just completely not to my taste.=] |

I guess it's just completely not to my taste.=] before you decide, try the Gintama jumpest OVA, its much much better than the first 3 or 4 episodes (I've only seen it that far), and if the comedy is at least as good as that in the later episodes, then its understandable why its so highly rated |

| First 20 or so episodes of Gintama are pretty slow/character development. From then on though, it definitely deserves all the hype it gets. |
| there sure are a lot of characters |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| Decent episodes. I liked the Gintama Jump Festa 2005 Special a lot more though. Will keep watching since it will only get better from here. |

cantius said: Why didn't I start on this series sooner? Loved the first episode! Exactly what I was thinking. Several funny moments but I lol'd at the scene just before the opening when they where looking for the cat. XD |
 |
| It was ... boring.. I expected much more from the anime rated so high. I didn't even find it funny. The only time I actually smiled was when Gintoki said he wanted to have a Bankai. But as many people say it gets better later... I'll give it a chance then.. |
| Another in-medias-res premiere. I wish series creators wouldn't do this. It looks like episode 3 goes back and covers chapter 1 of the manga. |

| had some pretty good moments, some parts were a bit meh, i think a more developed story line would make this anime a lot better, and when i get used to seeing all of the quirky characters pop up every now and then. |
| And so begins my Gintama journey...slow to begin but then again, most anime are slow in the beginning. I'm sure by episode 20-30, I will laughing my ass off every minute. |
 |
| Wasn't my favorite thing. I loved the Opening though. |
Beatnik said: Episode 1 and 2 are my least favourite of the whole show. It only gets better from there! I hope you're right, 'cause even if the episode was so-so I didn't find out why this anime is so overrated. The episode was ok with me, but still... Anyway, I get now why they say that Sket Dance is similar to Gintama. Well, that's only partly true. The band members has totally different characters, which is enough for me to make the shows different by themselves :P The OP was great, the ED sucked though. |
  |
| It was ok.......I hope the rest of the series is not so boring as someone said here that we should continue watching it till episode 2 or something like that. |
