Gintama, despite being my ALL TIME FAVORITE BEST ANIMU EVAR, is an anime that I find myself rarely recommending to anyone. I mean, I know it is very good. But its humor can be hit or miss depending on the individual and it definitely does take its sweet time to set things up so I definitely cannot recommend it to people who lack patience. The fact that the introductory episodes suck balls compared to the episodes that come later on (100s in) doesn't help. Still, it is and will probably always be my #1 anime. Amazing comedy with really good animation, OST and voice actors. And a proper story (no kidding) which takes things on a really high scale when it ventures outside full-blown comedy (current manga arc is the best shounen arc I have ever read. Period. Throws surprise bombs at me every chapter. Chapter 519 was literally earth shattering holy ****).
