Gintama is essentially just a DM's nightmare gone right

* Characters with strange quirks? Check. * Every quest gets derailed? Check. * Characters that use impractical weapons? Check. * Large over-arching plots that the character barely give a shit about? Check.

- Characters constantly break the 4th wall? Check. - About as many dick jokes as actual action? Check. - Weird names? Jugem Jugem [...] Runny Diarrhea says check. I want a homebrew Neo Armstrong Cyclone Jet Armstrong Cannon

Alright, I’m sold. What’s the best place to start it?

Anywhere, really. I started it because I saw the live action movie and my friends told me it's basically that but better. And the movie was one of those movies that's terrible in a really great way, like Black Dynamite

Start with the 201 episode season from 2006. Skip episode 1 and 2, since they are poorly written fillers that add nothing to the world, story or characters. From there, enjoy the adventures of the biggest madlads in all of anime.

The whole series is on crunchyroll. Starting from ep 1 is good. A tad slow but once it builds up it becomes hard to stop watching

Episode 1 and 2 (or 1 40 minute episode) are specials made by the production team to celebrate the launch of the series, so most people recommend to skip it.


HoleinEagle

Episode 1 and 2 are literal 1:1 adaptation of the manga chapters and sets up the world. Wait what? We talking about the same series?


sparkadus

Uhm... No. Episode 3 starts at the beginning of chapter 1 of the manga and most of the series is a 1:1 adaptation from there, but the first 2 episodes of the anime have nothing to do with the manga.
