Following up on some comments in the recent meta thread, I decided to be the change I want to see in the world and create a place to talk about anime that aren't actively airing.
I plan on making these posts regularly going forward on Mondays as they normally suck for most people that work M-F, so why not try to make them a little bit better? Also, in the process of making this post, I found out that there is an ISO standard that says weeks start on Monday rather than Sunday. TIL!
Just a reminder to tag your spoilers.
Gintama's comedy is goated. I didn't feel intimidated with the episode count once I started.
I have always had Gintama on my list to watch but have been told that it is better once you have really watched a lot of anime due to the amount of references to the larger anime ecosystem. So, I have held off on watching it so that I can work through other shows to build up my anime repertoire. However, that was years ago, so I just need to pull the trigger at some point.
I agree with that. With my watch history, I can say Clannad has the most similar type of humor to Gintama. Others would say Sket Dance, but I haven't watched that.
