All I can say is, if you're an anime fan and haven't watched it, you're doing yourself a big crime by missing this one. There are definitely some heart touching, throat lump forming, beautiful moments in the anime too (though not as much). This reason also makes this anime almost impossible to dub and very hard to even sub! However, if you do get the jokes (and not all of them are reference related), you'll be in tears. There are tons of references to anime and Japanese culture, which is kind of a down side for a person who isn't familiar with either or both. Plus, the fillers are just as funny and awesome as the other episodes, if not more. You don't even have to worry about fillers, because you won't know when they hit you, as there is no general plot.

It's full of random hilarity and antics, while still maintaining a storyline (per episode and arcs). Gintama, for the most part definitely is. But not many are built around these moments. Įvery anime has it's funny, even hilarious moments. Troubles that they of course try to solve, but in reality. Wherever they go, all they do is to create troubles.

He and his gang, however, are also among the very few who have not forgotten the morale of a swordsman. Gintama is a story of a handyman named Gintoki, a samurai with no respect for rules set by the invaders, who's ready to take any job to survive. All samurais have been disarmed and reduced to temp workers with no skills who just try to make ends meet. The Shogunate has become a puppet of alien occupation armies. Instead of the US fleet, the country is stormed by spaceships coming from four corners of the universe and soon we see it occupied by extraterrestrials. That's what history tells, but in Gintama, that's not what happens. The samurai regime ended its life with the imperial restoration in 1868. In 1853, the US fleet commanded by Admiral Perry forced the doors open, leading to a modernization of the nation's sociopolitical systems and the eventual fall of the Shogunate. In the early 17th century, Japan adopted strict isolation policies and severed almost all ties with foreign countries.
