GoldenDevilGamer said: The first couple episodes are crap. Couldn't they introduce their characters in a more interesting way. 2/5 Ikr! I was so excited to start gintama but this is pathetic. Might as well drop it. This is equivalent to the worst kind of crap I have seen so far and I have seen very crappy series |
SSJMan said: I ended up continuing it and I don't regret my decision. The first several episodes are bad, however this series gets so, so, so much better! It ended up being one of my favorite anime. Give Gintama more time, it totally gets better!GoldenDevilGamer said: The first couple episodes are crap. Couldn't they introduce their characters in a more interesting way. 2/5 Ikr!

| With all the good things I've heard about it, I'm sure it'll get better, right? |
| Some of that episode was from the 2005 Jump Festa special which I watched last night after watching first two, glad I didn't skip after seeing some was the same as the rest was different. That was pretty funny, Gin and his hard head! lol. I liked the weird story and the store bit again with the parfait, they make me laugh lol. Flying Viking ship show girl place lol. More mentions to Bleach (which I finished last Thursday), now he wishes he had Getsuga Tensho lol! I would've loved to have seen a crossover with the two shows, Gin reminds me a bit of Ichigo, especially with the wanting to help people and humour. Plus both are hot <3 |
 |
| Gin-chan's voice when he was saying the hard head thing was hilarious |
| Just starting this series. A friend of mind recommend it to me. I am not to crazy bout episodic comedies, but will see. This episode was definitely better then the first 2 which imo was quite overwhelming and didn't do a great job of building the world and its characters but i guess considering this episode is legitimately chapter 1 of the manga, things should get better. |

| Meh. Slightly better than the last two in that they didn't throw every single character at you at once with no time to remember any of them. Series Laughs: 0. This truly is 5 of the ten greatest anime ever. |
| Better than previous episodes. Not sure what will be the story ahead but its real fun watching it. |
Luke72 said: A couple of people above you in this page started off thinking nothing of the series and if you check both of their profiles, Gintama is in their favourites. So, yes.With all the good things I've heard about it, I'm sure it'll get better, right? |

| Woot that Police car |
| In what episode I'll be able to laugh? |

Katsu-kun said: In what episode I'll be able to laugh? Depends. Episode 8 is hilarious in a random way, and if all else fails, episode 25 is almost a definite hit in terms of comedy. |
 |
| Nice episode. I liked it. It's not boring. |
| lol, getsuga tensho is the best part |
| Pretty good episode. Made me care slightly more about glasses. I really liked all the stuff with the cops. Even though it's supposed to be funny. I will say though it's annoying how over the top the villains all are. So far they've all been like sniveling monsters with no redeeming value. I also kind of thought the "Don't think I'll go easy on you because this is prime time" was a bit much. Still this episode had a lot of funny moments. Especially the climax. I hope this show gets better but I'm certainly enjoying it. |

One of the most interesting parts of serious Gintama is their antagonists. The ones you'll see later on are the exact opposite of what you perceive now. |

| I hope it picks up for me. My interest wanes in and out for this series ^^' but I'm sticking with it for the ridiculous high ratings :3 |
| So this is where the story starts for real. Nice episode and I can already see why the comedy is hold in high regards, had some good lols here and there. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| I could not give less for this characters! I don't care for them, and now they're telling their pasts and motivations!! ARGHH WTF!! |

| YEah sure. His sis is babe. |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| First thing I thought of when I saw Gintoki picking his nose on the scooter was Haruko; I didn't expect that little cameo during the ending though |
Cold-hearted orb that rules the night Removes the colours from our sight Red is grey and yellow white But we decide which is right And which is an illusion. |
| This episode was seriously boring. The only reason that I am watching is because people say that it get's much better after like episode 25. Uhhh, it's gonna be a long ride. I hope I end up liking this show. 4/10 |
| While I thought the 1 hour special, as well as the Jump Festa were pretty mediocre, I actually really enjoyed this episode. This was a way better intro to the series than the in-media-res craziness they started with. I really don't get why people are shitting on this ep. I can kind of understand since the other episodes before this were placed really badly and this is a weird continuation of those, but if you just consider this episode 1 then I thought it was perfect. It introduced the setting and main characters the same way literally all shonen shows do. For an introduction to a series with over 350 episodes, it did everything it needed to do; and got me excited for things to come. |
| This episode was kinda hilarious XD |
"No matter where you go, everyone's connected." Iwakura, Lain. |
| So far I'm not really feeling it with this anime. But I've heard that it gets better after a while, and it's not like it's super terrible. So I'll try to work my way through it, to see whether I end up liking it. The setting is okay I think, and there's nothing wrong with the characters. Or the overall quality of the animation or sound, or voice acting. But the jokes aren't landing for me. |
nidoqueen106 said: I tried to get into this anime I really did, but I cant seem to continue. Given all the shows I've seen this one shows no uniqueness, and i was told this was filled to the brim with parodies, so i was expecting it to be like: Good Luck Girl!, but I see almost no parodies to it. just a tetris joke, some nonesense w/ aliens, and generic jokes like when gin looks like he was gonna fight in ep1 and then runs away. If anyone sees this comment and wants to tell me when they get balls deep into parody comedy, let me know. I probably wouldn't have watched this at all if it wasn't for the extremely high ratings the Gintama series have on MAL and ANN. I found it kinda funny, but I'm not blown away, at the moment. |
| What does "mentally bald" even mean? |
 |
| Average episode. |
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones! |
| And that's how they met! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| I mean, ok episode ( again ), but it's only the beginning so it wasnt that bad. |
| Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones! |
| RIP Gintoki's chocolate parfait, anyways, I had some pretty good laughs out of this episode and I also hear that thiis series gets much much better the more you watch it, so I'm definitely excited to see what's next! |
| Okay so that's the real manga content... well it was ok I guess, at least he saved his sister... not really funny though but it will be probably better later |
 |
| A pretty good start. I'm already in love with all the characters. Espically, our maincharacter, Gintoki. I love his sense of humor. He is way too hilarious and his actions make me laugh the fuck out of myself. Shin will be working with him now. The OST sounds very lively. OP is good, ED is a bit better. Animation for 2006 is pretty good. I won't be making threads under all the episodes, only the important ones. Too lazy to do it for 200 eps.. |
   “You yourself have to change first, or nothing will change for you!” ' |
| Pretty average introduction episode. So after the first two people said that it gets better starting with episode 3. Now after episode 3 people say it gets better after like 25 episodes or something. I hope at some point it will really start to get as good as people say. |
| So, I heard that this is the first Canon episode, why exactly did we need that frustating mess of first two filler episodes |
| finally starting this it has been on my ptw list for way too long also imma skip the 1st and 2nd ep as they're fillers |
 |
| "Inoue... born on august 30, but do you actually care about him?" lol Gintoki being addicted to Jump and trying to find a time machine into a vending one... hope your learned your lesson into never believing horoscopes Shinpachi and Kagura are running for their lives and he's still in withdrawal syndrome for Jump. And whey become stuck in a dustbin that rolls into the way of a running train... "not even in a manga there are such contrived coincidences!" Didn't remember the author making monologues this early "CHANGE YOUR DAMN HAISTYLE!" And finally, Kagura is hired at Yorozuya with the "beautiful" power of threatening people with violence. Because she's her, for once, it can be justified. |
