Ok, Gintama, at first I was like do I want to watch 201 episodes of an old anime now I regret saying that as I loved this show start to finish, sure when you look at the total episodes for this anime seasons, it will take some time to finish but this is a classic shounen with many things in it from aliens invading earth during when samurai were popular to weirdest thing like the main character using their d*ck to unscrew a machine to save everyone after people turned into screwdrivers, weird, yes but entertaining very.

Gintama isn't like one long series with one objective ... like most shounen or other animes might be. Gintama either has one episode with it just being one hilarious episode or mini-arcs with action in it and have some touching scenes that can even a grown man cry. The main cast of characters we see are Gintoki, Kagura and Shinpachi which these three work in a job created by Gin called odd jobs, of course, they will not just get jobs that are odd but also get themselves in random scenarios like a fight between the characters because of their ranking in the series which was really funny and really breaks the fourth wall and we see that a lot in this anime. There is some kind of plot or story within in this anime because most ars would link to each other in some kind as it could either family ties like for Kagura or Gintoki past who he meets with other students/friends during his time as the famous white demon for his impressive sword skills and we don't know much about his past but we might in the future episodes.

The art itself, of course, would look old but still looks good, it has a great colour for different things and with many characters that this anime shows it does have kinda similar to most colour palettes most of them so it kinda was a bit simple.

The sound quality was good, character voice acting did very well when it came to showing the characters expressions whether it was the funnier and goofier scenes and they wanted to make the characters voices sound funny to make us laugh or when it was a calm or serious scene in the anime showing their roles for their character emotions in them which was really good. There was opening and ending that I liked but I have to go with the Opening 5 'Donten' is the best out of them, it felt more badass and amazing to listen to so great job to DOES for this amazing song and also creating another opening which was Opening 17 'Know Know Know' in Gintam again but only heard the song and I loved it.

Gintoki and the other characters are great ideas for as each one is different from each other and there is a lot of characters in this anime and it is able to use most and that what makes this anime a lot better and it might sound like this sounds dumb to have too many characters but when you are the creator of Gintama you know the right ways to create a character to make this anime better. The main characters that we see are Gintoki who owns odd jobs and has two friends who work with him who is Kagura and Shinpachi. There are others characters like the Shinsengumi who are the police in Edo which is the city they all live in. Almost all these characters have something you like about them whether their personality, looks or how they act like idiots, they make this show even funnier and they still have a backstory behind it that we see by some characters and this can really interesting to see and you will love to continue to see what happens next.

I HAVE to give this a 10 out of 10 because Gintama isn't an anime I thought I come bay that has amazing humour and comedy which I love to see but also has action and a decent story within it and it can get really you hooked once the arc starts or story focuses on that part and it does have emotions meaning it can make you cry and it almost got me crying for some episodes so I loved this anime.

Story 10/10
Art 8/10
Sound 9/10
Characters 9/10
Enjoyment 10/10

(Spoilers)

Overall 8/10 - This anime was just absolutely adorable and cute, start to finish and I loved it.

Story 7/10- Not really a story in this anime but it is about two brothers, Ryuuichi Kashima and Kotarou Kashima who had lost their parents to a plane crash so they had no one to go back to but luckily they were adopted by a chairman named Youko Morinomiya. Since Ryuuichi doesn't have anyone to look after his younger whilst he is at school, he leaves him at a babysitting club where we meet the other kids, with Yoshihito who looks after the kids and so we see ... how everyone is getting along with each other. Nothing really much to say about the story of the anime but it is sad to see how Ryuuichi and Kotarou lose their parents to basically set the events for them to meet the rest of the characters but there still happy and enjoying meet new people and having new friends.

Art 7/10 and Sound 7/10- The art really suits the adorableness and cuteness of the anime, it's drawn well with great character designs and backgrounds and for sounds the opening and endings were ok, I liked but I just love how the ending had kids dance which was even more cute.

Character 8/10 and Enjoyment 9/10- Both of these were the ones that made the anime even better. Most of the characters were great in this anime, Ryuuichi is a caring, kind person who likes and cares for his little brother and he likes to look after the rest of the children in the club which is a great character idea whilst Hayato is different from Ryuuichi with how he treats others but he still cares for his brother, Taka, even though he doesn't show it. The children in the club just make the anime adorable, just like some kids they are all adorable and cute with how each one has different personality traits, they still childish and I think it's cute. There are funny moments I enjoyed with even some sad scenes near the start but besides that, the anime gave me a smile for each episode with how happy and cute it was for every episode.

(Spoilers)

Overall 5/10- For this anime, I wasn't really impressed as it just felt plain even though it's about detective work and crime, it doesn't really make me feel hyped about it.

Story 5/10 and Enjoyment 5/10- I say that the story is connected to the enjoyment of the anime with its genre and that made the anime bland since the story was based on a student named Kobayashi who was framed for murder so he was taken by the police for investigation but the student is not normal as for him he was calm about the situation and that it only interested him which I thought ... the anime would be all about on how this student was going to find that he was innocent but after that that was taken care of Kobayashi became interesting on investigating crime so with a detective named Kogorou and his best friend Hashiba they basically go through different crimes but most of the crimes they face are linked to another crime named twenty faces and this also links to Kogorou past.

So, all in all, I feel that this story was 5 and the enjoyment a 5 because of how boring it can get for most episodes because it was interesting at the start but after that, we get more crimes shown to us and when watching these kinds of crime, horror or detective anime you would want to be shocked on who or what the victim had done in that crime but instead they have basically thrown every information at us which I think just makes it just unfun and even though it was 11 episodes and I sound like they had rushed everything but each episode just felt really long for some reason, maybe with how many backstories we get which I think didn't help improve the story for the suspect for most crime and I rather have a backstory between Kogorou and that crazy lady Kuro instead we get some weird man who loves little girls and disguises himself with a bag which I guess would still be a weird backstory but it would actually link to more about that twenty faces crime than most others than we've seen.

Art 6/10 and Sound 6/10- Sound was ok, I watched through the dub and the VA did ok and the opening was ok I liked it. The art was different, background, the scenery was fine but when showing characters it different, I get what they trying to show here and I don't hate as they either have characters that aren't important blurred through some single color or later in the anime we seem most characters in mask skull showing who's side is who and it's different so I guess it was ok.

Character 6/10- For the first 4 or 5 episodes, Kobayashi was basically important to the series with how he, and yes I was surprised he was a boy, was framed through murder and luckily due to how he isn't some normal student, he acts fine and goes with the police investigation on helping this investigation on why he is innocent and after that, it only grew his interest in solving crimes because he thinks it is very interesting and fun but then after we see about the twenty faces cases, the anime directs to more on Kogorou who is related to these cases and I think he the only characters that interested me in this anime with his calm, collective personality and I guess his backstory with his school life was ok from the rest but not that many characters I did not care or like about.

(Spoilers)

Story 7/10- The story is about Handa during his high school days and we see how Handa sees himself hated by everyone but in reality, he is loved by everyone due to his looks, personality, and skills but Handa doesn't see that about himself and thinks that everyone thinks negative about him which I think is a funny story and is different from how some highschool anime is like and it's still a small amine but still gives good scenes. Like the Handa we see in the anime, he still loves calligraphy and with how his other traits, he starts getting rivals which we see ... how they try to outcompete Handa but then realise that Handa is a good person which without Handa knowing, a small fan club was created about him and many more people liking him. I think it's surprisingly a good story, we still see Handa doing his work but others appreciating him even though Handa thinks everyone hates him.

Art 6/10 and Sound 6/10- The art is different from the first anime but still feels the same when it comes to keeping the same theme to the anime with the comedy and slice of life to it and I like it, it's bright and well-drawn out. VA for the charcters was ok, the same goes for the openings and endings they were ok but not really good.

Character 7/10 and Enjoyment 7/10- The characters in the anime make the anime better which was the same for the first and I enjoyed it. Handa is quite different during this anime and during his time in high school with how he thinks people hate but not everyone hates him, we how that grows a small fan club though some random incidents that made were really amusing to watch as for him, he thinks he making more enemies or more people thinking of hating like Reo Nikaidou who was another popular student in Handa class and he wanted to win the popularity in the class and school after realising how Handa is not the person he thought he was he changed with others in anime as well and it does sound repetitive but the episodes are enjoyable and that there are a lot of different things going on in each one but sometimes there are quite weird or cringed moments that didn't I really like.

Overall 7/10- This prequel is something different, the prequel was fine and I was happy that Handaa changes at the end and if this prequel had been created before Barakamon, I would be wanted to see more of the characters from this one to others but was still funny anime to watch.

(Spoilers)

I like this anime, it's simple and short but still enjoyable.

Story 7/10- The anime is about a calligrapher named Seishuu Handa who does everything he can into calligraphy but after him not getting praise for his work by the director and that he says that his work is lacking which pisses him off which ends him punching the director which only got him in trouble so he was sent to a small island called Goto island which he goes there for inspiration for his work. The story is simple as he just wants to get top place in calligraphy and he doesn't know how but ... he still wants to improve which he does of course though everyone there and the new things he sees giving the motivation to create greater work but I feel the anime it doesn't achieve much within it within 12 episodes since like I said it simple so not a lot happens in anime.

Art 7/10 and Sound 7/10- Both are fine nothing really special. The art suits the anime with the atmosphere and theme it gives and characters and backgrounds were drawn well. Openings and endings were also fine and VA were also the same.

Character 7/10- The characters in this anime were all ok. Seishuu Handa wants to improve so he hopes the island he is going to help can give some kind of inspiration which he meets the people in the village which most of them are friendly towards them whilst also meeting some of the kids on the island and out of them is Naru Kotoishi who is a child who plays with Seishuu but he tries to ignore to continue his work but he meets the other children in the island which makes it annoying to continue his work when they playing in his house but the characters still help Seishuu to see what can help his work so I think these characters were mostly as they made the show even more enjoyable.

Enjoyment 7/10- It might be a small anime but it still enjoyable as each episode has a lot of funny scenes making it a funny comedy anime but still has scenes that good to see. The characters do also help the anime even good when it comes to the comedy of the anime but maybe because of how short it was, I wanted to see more things with Seishuu work being created being praised and how he creates more of his work through the motivation he gets on the island but it was still good.

Overall 7/10- The anime was good with ok characters and it was a very funny anime.

(Spoilers)

Part 5 was a bit better than part 4 but I still feel like it didn't really reach how I gave part 1,2 and 3 an 8 whilst this one a 7.

Story 7/10- Part 5 is set in Italy where we see crimes, drugs and gangs also known as the mafia are everywhere. Giorno Giovanna who is of course another stand user and his goal are to become the mafia leader or boss who controls the rest of the mafia gangs in Italy but he doesn't want any more crime or drugs as he wants the opposite of that which he meets Bruno Bucciarati which ... he also has the same goal of stopping all of this drug dealing and crime so Giorno joins Bruno Bucciarati gang which he meets the rest of the team and they have their journey of keeping another character called Trish Una safe. I think that this story is fine, interesting in some bits, similar to how part 3 was like on how it consists of 6 people in a team going through an adventure with each other which is similar to how there are 6 people in this part where they also have a mission to complete but I feel like the ending didn't make happy, sure the final scene was surprising even though I was expecting but before that, I feel like there was no point in how the last two episodes had another past for team Bucciarati before Giorno Giovanna joined on how that scene basically said sealed the fates of the team and I feel like that wasn't necessary as it could have been something else like the team can be reminiscing there journey and have really sad scene near the end to make it sadder but showing how it would have been a lot more enjoyable for the story but no it had to end like that.

Art 8/10 and Sound 7/10- Same as always for both but for the art, I don't why I didn't release from part 4 on how different the art was for character designs like we see a flashback from part 3 on Jotaro adventure and the characters were very different as they weren't like buffed up man anymore and I don't know if I should hate it as I don't mind it as I still like the art for Jojo but it's weird because it though me off guard on how different it was but I like still, this has to be most of the unexpected things from part 3 and 4 more than the story itself. The sound was fine as always, the openings and endings were fine, the Voice acting was also fine and I've seen how many talks about Giorno ost on how it's good and it is I like it.

Character 7/10- Giorno, Bucciarati, Mista, Narancia, Fugo and Leone are in a team in part 5 and they have a mission to protect Trish and they are stand users with different powers. Each one has a different personality from each other making the show more interesting and funny with also with their own back story and this part was in the middle to how they wanted to give most of them more screen time like Fugo after the decision he chose I feel like he didn't do much but the opposite can be said for Giorno or Bucciarati which we see more action from them than most of the team and I feel like they should had more with them as Fugo had a powerful stand but yet he couldn't do much and that kinda upsetting but still it was fine. Diavolo, the villain in this part, he isn't bad of a villain, similar to Yoshikage Kira from part 4 who wants to keep his identity a secret whilst still doing the murders of his which is similar to Diavolo but he keeps his identity a secret since he the leader of the mafia gangs so he will do anything to stay hidden and continue work in the shadows so Diavolo was an ok villain but not like a character that matched Dio from part 1 and 3.

Enjoyment 7/10- I still enjoyed this part but not enough for me to give it a higher rating since it mixes with how the story was set and I ready said how they didn't that well for me to say it was that great. There was still good fights with different stand users that we see fight with different members in the team and there are still sad moments within this part but it have been better if they changed it up a bit. We still see how stands are important to the story and how they can get even stronger which was surprising but what I wanted to see more was Giorno past as he is Dio son which was surprising but no we didn't see much of that since I said this focuses on how the team is protecting Trish and trying to reveal the bosses identity whilst for Giorno, he wants to become the boss of the mafia but it was fine.

Overall 7/10- Jojo part 5 was fine, I hope that part 6 can get an 8 from me though as I enjoy the series but feel that part 4 and 5 had changed that feeling for me.

(Minor Spoilers)

I feel like this part is not like the other three parts so I will be giving a 7 for it and he's why.

Story 8/10- After what happed in part 3 of the stardust crusaders and Dio, part 4 takes place in a small town called Morioh and here we see that Jotaro Kujo is heading to this town to first visit Josuke Higashikata who is the son of Joseph Joestar and also to find about how stands were growing in this town because of what Dio had left behind which was able to create even more stand user but that part is one ... of half of the story for Jotaro as another thing in this part is where we find halfway through the series about the main problem of a killer named Yoshikage Kira who been killing many people but also has an odd habitat or fetish of slicing of hands of women which is weird. I think this part was more of a murder mystery game which Yoshikage with how he finds ways to hide himself to live a peaceful life than how the other parts had an interesting story, this part still connects to the rest of the parts because of how stands were growing around the world because of Dio but this part was not that interesting but was fine.

Art 8/10 Sound 7/10- The art still felt the same as before, maybe the art was more bright and colourful since this part was less serious in my option than the rest but was still fitting to the setting of the anime of how sometimes it's joyful but when it came to moments that were serious, it changes the colour scheme to fit what is happening and I actually like the characters designs for this part so I the art is great always. For sound, opening and ending were fine but I wasn't that bothered to listen to them and voicing for the sub did well.

Character 7/10- Part 4, had a lot more character like the other parts but before, there weren't that many stand user that had to be significant in previous parts as they were just more enemies that they had to fight but this part had a lot more stand user that was enemies but than became good and I think that this part was trying to fit in most of this characters to the story which I think that most episodes were just trying to dedicate to them, which I like to see in some anime showing how some characters are still important to the story but in this one, again this one was trying too hard. The main character in this part is Josuke, Kouichi, Okuyasu and maybe Rohan but I fell he wasn't really in this team, but they aren't bad characters in this part. Josuke who is the one that stands out from them isn't a bad character like I said, he's a strong but still funny and caring guy and he's got a really strong stand to easily defeat most of his opponents just don't talk bad about his hair. I'm also happy that Jotaro comes back as he basically one of my favourite characters in this anime but he is shown less since this is basically Josuke story and I get it since this his hometown and all.

Enjoyment 7/10- As I said about how they're a lot of characters that were introduced, it meant that there were episodes that were dedicated to them, which I really think wasn't necessary since it just made it longer for this part for no reason, part 3 was longer but I enjoyed each episode so it didn't fit me how different this part as part 3 was just more enjoyable when it came to those serious scenes or building that tension for unexpected surprises. Still, there was still enjoyable moments in this part with those amazing fights, funny scenes and interesting twist it had for this season. Stands are now the new thing that my guess will be running through this series which I like about the idea, there different stands, with different powers so the main characters face off with most of these characters and for the series to be good as a whole they need more stands that can fight others stand user or else the only people who would have stands would the Joestars or anyone else that was in the previous part that got there stand so begin in that arrow that gives people stand which is a did idea but still, it helps the series to grow.

Overall 7/10- Well, this part was fine, different from previous parts but still ok.

(Spoiler)

Sure was a crazy adventure for the Joutarou (or Jotaro however you spell it) and the crew.

Story 8/10- The story continues from the last season of the third part where Jotaro and others are finding Dio and wanting to kill him mainly for Jotaro to save his mother. So the crew goes through Eygpt encountering more stand user which they need to fight through in order to find Dio and his place. so the story is the same as the last season and I still will give it an 8 as it continues being really good.

Art 8/10 and Sound 7/10- Again, I say the art ... just really is different from other anime and I really like it so good work animators for their great job on the anime. I liked the previous opening before but this opening was fine but I would just skip it but I did not notice that small difference within the intro which is pretty cool to add after what Dio has shown.

Character 8/10- More stand user were thrown in here again so the Stardust Crusaders need to beat them all but like last time each character has there own moments to show in the anime m taking them significantly in the anime which make me happy so I give a lot of respect for them. Jotaro might become one of my favourite characters as his personality, appearance and how he acts is pretty cool and with his stand power, it just makes him a better character. Dio, the villain within the part is just a villain wanting to kill all humans and obtain more power and he's merciless and will find any way to gain that power so he's an ok villain.

Enjoyment 9/10- I've really enjoyed this season even more as it had a lot more fights, action, sadness and funny moments. Each episode of Jojo as a whole have a lot in each episode but it still gets hyped for the simplest like I do love the fights with a fist to fist fights, well stand to stand mainly, but there were episodes were for the team to figure out a different way to different to defeat there opponent like this season there were two episodes were Jotaro had to win a poker game and some reason it really make me hyped up showing how they did well to build that tension The anime still had more laughter like the new character named Iggy who is a dog who just made the series a lot funnier but there were sad moments within this season which really make fell upset for what had happened but the anime did well on showing those scenes.

Overall 8/10- Part 3 has finished and I've enjoyed this season so I hope next season will be as great or better.

(Spoiler)

Jojo's Bizzare Adventure really is good, and I'm hooked on the plot and the anime as a whole.

Story 8/10- After what happed with Joseph Joestar's and his adventure with the pillar men and the stone marks, we go through a couple of years where we see Joutarou Kuujou were like his grandfather, Joesph, he gets into his own adventure with the same villain from the first part Dio and he goes to with his grandfather and others to find and kill Dio as they need to find a way to save Jotaro mother from a new thing in this anime called stand which is a ... spirit of someone and we see my people have in this anime but for Jotaro mother can't handle how her stand had started to appear making her ill so they need to travel to Eygpt to find Dio and to help his mother so the stardust crusaders take part through a lot and I mean a lot of adventure and incidents which I guess helps to make the plot grow stronger and be more interesting. The story is really interesting, Dio being alive again who wants to kill all the Joestar's bloodline and the others need to find him also is quite cool and interesting.

Art 8/10 and Sound 8/10- The art really is something different from other anime and I really like it, characters, background are drawn really well and I don't mind the look of how most male characters are drawn like bodybuilders for some odd reason it suits to the anime. The opening was great, as the last part, I liked that as well so they did well for the opening song and character voices for sub did amazing for each character.

Character 8/10- The stardust crusaders, which has Joutarou, Joesph, Avdol, Kakyouin and Polnareff all having the goal to find and kill Dio. These characters contribute to the anime by helping each other and progressing to Egypt. Out of the rest of the team, Joutaou is what I think the best one out of them because of his main reason for saving his mother and he seems to be a guy to keep his emotions in but still cares for others so he keeps that tough guy act but I think that he is cool characters that the creator had thought of. Dio comes back for revenge on the Joestar family so he uses other stand uses to make good work of them but there the main characters who can't be stopped so he'll need to keep his guard up for what might happen to him.

Enjoyment 8/10- Each episode is different from each other and they contain a lot of things but it not that hard to remember or that another thing wasn't rushed that. Stands were one of the things that made the things more enjoyable with how each one is different from each other and that the teams face off with different ones with different powers or ability and like I said on how each main characters get their own screen time to show of there own power, that's what we see in some episodes which combined with the fight scenes which were also enjoyable and I liked about. The show also made me laugh still even with those serious faces that the characters have.

Overall 8/10- The third part of the second season will be enjoyable like this and I know it. This anime really is bizarre but is great.

(Spoilers)

Jojo many people like, many people hate but It wasn't that bad for me as I enjoyed it.

Story 8/10- So there are parts within the first season of Jojo, the first part starts everything of the Jonathan Joestar and Dio Brando where both of them had stated their rivalry between them creating many events that occur in the next part with how characters or things from the first part come into the second part, which in the second we meet Joseph Joestar who is the grandson of Jonathan who gets into some trouble that had occurred before in part 1 which was a mask that ... can turn people into vampires which there were a lot more of so they needed to destroy most of them if they can. I think this is interesting since both parts are two different things from each other but still, links different from parts which I think is pretty cool and I like the journey that happens for both parts.

Art 8/10 and Sound 7/10- The art is interesting and I surprisingly like it, way different than I've seen before but is really drawn, characters are different designs, the scenery is drawn perfectly and the intro was amazing to see as it was the same art but with the art which was amazing to see and the opening sound was good, I liked it. Voice acting did well for both sub and dub and for dub I've seen clips where the voice acting for part 1 had British accents for the characters which is a nice thing to do since it was sent in England.

Character 7/10- Let's starts with part 1 where we see the two characters Jonathan Joestar and Dio Brando both not liking each other, Dio who was taken by Jonathan farther since Dio farther 'apparently saved Jonathan farther so he took him in but Dio had a plan to take the Joestar fortune and to find power through the mask he's been learning about. These two characters had basically started these events of the mask as those counties to part 2 which we see Joseph Joestar which he finds about the mask so he starts to stop the main problem of them, for me Joseph isn't that of a great character, he might be talented in different ways but not that great of a character but Dio Brando is a great villain which is great with how there fight between the Joestar's will continue in the next part as seen on the last episode of something related to that.

Enjoyment 8/10- I've enjoyed this season, the fights between both parts were good, humans figured out how to learn Hamon which is a technique for humans to control their energy I think within to become stronger, creating different techniques for themselves which were helpful since they were fighting vampires in human strength so I guess it balances out the power between them. There also different twist and turn that which had surprised and I like when anime shows those kinds of twist and again I want to say that both parts had linked with each other which I love about.

Overall 8/10- This was a really good first season and I will continue watching to see what else the anime has to show be cool to watch.
