If you are looking for something that will amaze you, you're wasting your time.
I rate this anime a 5 because it is a very average anime. You won't regret watching this; for an episodic comedy anime with some serious elements, it isn't bad by any means.
This is an episodic comedy anime about a group of people who've lost their family/had no family to start out with learn to live, love, and accept each other as true siblings.
However, Gintama fits the exact same "episodic comedy anime with some serious elements," has hundreds of episodes, and has many people scrambling over how good it is.
The
...
other main theme of this anime, family bonds, is again done better in different anime. My Roommate Is a Cat is an objectively better anime featuring a cuter cat as the main heroine with the same family-oriented theme. Summer Pockets (will get an anime soon) also focuses on family bonds in a supernatural modern setting, but it's actually a very good visual novel and not just a mediocre anime.
Again, this is an average anime that is neither bad nor good, though there were some aspects that were better than others.
The story is what you'd expect from an episodic comedy anime; not very present. What else would you expect? Nobody watches Gintama for the plot either. However, I did actually enjoy most of the episode/arc plots. The ending was often surprisingly touching or surprisingly funny.
The art is pretty standard for its time period. I have no comments on it.
The OP and most of the EDs are not to my taste, but you can just skip them. I actually liked the soundtrack, the actual music you can't skip, and I think that's the most important part. Keep in mind that "like" does not mean "Yuki Kajiura level." It's good, but not that good.
The comedy was average. I laughed sometimes. It makes use of a lot of randomness, which I guess I laugh to.
The characters, while unique, I felt weren't given enough attention. It is the anime adaption of a light novel, which probably cut out most of the interpersonal interactions that really define a character. I felt that many of the characters were either sidelined or fall into simple tropes when not in their own character arcs, including the main characters. This is quite common in anime, movie, and comic adaptions of novels, so I can't fault the anime too much here. There's just too little time to spread around eight different characters.
And now we get to the setting, which I feel is too ridiculous for most people. I agree, the setting is stupid if you think about it. The answer is to not think about it. Gintama's setting is stupid. Through the Looking-Glass' (the novel) setting is stupid. Frankenstein's (the novel) setting is also stupid. The setting literally does not affect the enjoyment of this anime whatsoever.
And thus ends my review. This is an average anime, but you could do so much worse.

As I saw the synopsis on a random anime thing on a certain website, I thought, "This is going to be a seinen anime where a thief goes and steals things, and the police are going to try to find him, like Death Note." Boy was I wrong.
Story: 4/10
Here is an anime that is 95% shounen/harem/ecchi about three perverts trying to trying to do what perverts in anime usually want to do, and 5% shounen/action with a fairly uninteresting plot.
Art: 6/10
For a 2003 anime, the art was decent, the action scenes okay, and there was no use of CGI. (though why would there be CGI
...
in a 2003 anime?)
Characters: 3/10
The characters went in through the anime without changing at all. The harem members were the exact same, all perverts. The main character was your average shounen/harem protagonist.
Enjoyment: 3/10
At least it was only 2 hours, and not the usual 4 (half-length episodes), else I wouldn't have survived this anime.

Oh, yay! Another harem/school/sci-fi/fantasy/duel light novel based anime! People say this anime is called "Hundred" because there's a "Hundred" other anime like it. I disagree. There is at least 1,000 other anime and 10,000 other light/web novels like this one.
Story: 3/10
Prepare for an exciting adventure where the main character does ORIGINAL things and has an ORIGINAL plot line—not. Take the generic setting for this type of anime—school, some kind of colorful, sci-fi, laser weapon, and monsters threatening the world—and add a generic plot. Main character meets girl -> battle -> main character meets girl -> battle then rinse and repeat. Once the girl meeting is
...
all done, add a generic villain to the mix, and you've got the anime known as Hundred.
Art: 8/10
The art was what you'd expect from a somewhat popular anime for the season, not as good as stuff from KyoAni but much better than crap like Utsu Musume Sayuri or Pupa.
Sound: 8/10
I liked the OP and ED, I might not be the best reviewer of songs, but both of the songs are in my top 20 anime songs. The background music fitted well, and there isn't much that's bad about the soundtrack.
Characters: 3/10
When the author was thinking about these characters, he/she must of thought of his/her top 10 light novels/anime and of their main characters, and realized, "Oh, my! All the character traits are the same!" then decided to use those traits to create this un-original, boring main character. As for the harem, just take a couple from the list of common harem members—the loli, the big-oppai, the blonde, the pink-haired, the grey/white-haired, the tsundere, etc—and put all those parts into a couple girls.
Comedy: 4/10
Nothing you haven't seen before, but I still got a laugh or too out of this, even though I'm fairly experienced in the realm of harem/ecchi.
Enjoyment: 5/10
I didn't mind re-watching Gakusen Toshi Asterisk.
