Gintama is one of those anime that you always hear about but you usually don't see it because it is quite long with 367 episodes of course it is not close to Naruto and One Piece and because its first episodes are a bit weak. But Gintama, as in the translation of its name, has a Soul. I don't believe there is a series that can make you cry and laugh almost at the same time and then tell you to your face that it is a lazy series while it has one of the best story arcs there is.
Gintama is about the three main characters Sakata Gintoki, Shinpachi Shimura and Kangaroo who own the shop "Odd-Jobs Gin-Chan". Basically in most episodes you follow the adventures of the three characters but also many times all the other characters who live in this world and are equally well written and important.
As the series goes on, the more you learn about the characters and love them more, whenever the story arcs come and you see the characters in bad circumstances, you find it much heavier. But Gitama's strength is comedy and his ability to make you feel sad. a good example would be to say that I have cried for a machine that throws cigarettes and that I have burst out laughing during a funeral in the series.
It's a bit hard to start this series but I'm sure if you can handle the average beginning then you'll find something really great in this series
