I love Gintama, but this is far from true outside of the small reference pool of 20-30 gaffers that post about it. It gets just as much hate as the other big shounens.
I still think he should watch it though.

That drop for Persona 4:The Cartoon is huge.
I somehow doubt it gets as much hate as Naruto and Bleach. Even if it was only because it's less well-known.

In relation to how well known it is, it's something like that. I would say it's somewhere between them and One Piece in the "near universal praise" department.
Yes, do the wise thing and don't ask.

Anime is all day one perch.
Yeah, other than the odd troll, every serious arc resolves the same way and the comedy can get tiring. I just think the overall writing is stronger than most comedy series (American, Japanese, live action, cartoon, whatever) in general.

Duly noted *checks off list*
Remember that they're editing it down to a reasonable length. There's always hope!

I don't really care about the reception it gets outside of here. Why would I? Gintama's writing it a step above most other comedies.
The internet as a whole has terrible taste in anime, but it's pretty reasonable in here.
It occurred to me that instead of just cutting it down to the best scenes, they could just edit every scene to half its length and most of them would be improved.
I was assuming he was talking it as far as sales/popularity goes!
So much CG. So much Space battle. So much bodacious Space Pirate. I will watch this. At least the first couple of episodes.
Ano Hana has some pretty good sales. Cool.
Well the ones who never leave the house don't really need a backpack.

It sold to a generation of young elementary school girls who are now emboldened by its awesome themes of feminism to go out and play basketball. Is that lie sufficient for you?

I think it's another way to note just how much god damn money they make off Evangelion merchandising. They can really go above and beyond with that stuff.
Marimite?
I... don't think that's a moe show
Yeah but, how do you define a moe show?
Wouldn't that only count for those in stealth mode?
Always prepare for the worst.

Fuck, I was going to post that.
Also, it's good to have pure haremshit again. The efficiency of this show is still amazing.
Do you realise how sick you sound? Like some part of you has become warped and disfigured? Did anime do that to you? Or was it the people in this thread?

Chihayafuru 09: Taichi is a true bro. Arata is a loser.
Chihaya should hook up with the little girl anyway.

Where's the fun in letting them know that it's coming?
I know right? What's with people and the first episode of Baccano!? Everyone knows that telling a story in chronological order is for old men.

That's like say we've all fallen and become corrupted. I don't want to think that we're already that far gone. I think that we can still be saved. Some us, anyway.
I certainly don't disagree about that, even though I feel that happens for nearly every comedy. It's pretty good about mixing things up though, which is why it's good to have the 'serious' arcs in there from time to time.Eventually you will reach the point where some of the humor gets.. repetitive. That's when you take a minor break
But yeah, the eps structures tend to be different enough that it kept me entertained in long stretches.

Bah, weaklings. It's not like you watch the show in a week, rather you pick at it a little at a time and then one day you realize you're almost caught up, like I am now. And once I do catch up to Gintama, I plan on leaping right into Urusei Yatsura. Long-running shows forever!
It's like I said about LoGH, you can watch 200 episodes of 20 bad shows or 200 episodes of 1 good show - the choice is yours!
How about just watching 26 episodes of 1 good show?
Jex

That's also an option! Or, in my case, I'm planning on inserting a few of those twenty-six episode shows in-between the three hundred episodes of Gintama so I that don't get bored of it. I think that kind of comedy serves well as a pallet cleanser, and other shows can act as a pallet cleanser of it, so it works both ways.
I'll admit that I wouldn't really want to do a straight marathon of any show over a hundred episodes.

Sure! I myself have watched several 12/24 episode shows, as well as shorts and movies, during the months I've been watching Gintama. There's no need to watch only one show at a time. Heck, there's no need to watch all episodes of a long-running show if you don't feel like it, especially if it's an episodic one you can skip around in without much issue.
All I'm saying is - don't let length of a show deter you from watching any of it. If you're tempted to watch shit like IS, why not spend that time on a few quality episodes of Gintama instead?

I've read this post through twice, just to make sure that my eyes weren't deceiving me, but then again, you do have that Utena tag so I suppose anything is possible.
I wouldn't really say that either season is worth your time.
Im stopping at 400$. Beyond that is probably overkill.
So no Darker than Black on this order.
They have some stuff like Arcade Gamer Fubuki and Here is Greenwood and more seasons of youre Under Arrest. Might as well buy everything now rather than when they mark it up again.
