i like gintama, it's hilarious. It really is one of a kind that really makes you laugh your butt off. I have laugh so much over Gintama that my stomach hurts.
Yeah, gintama is not the type of manga that really have a specific plot or storyline. It's aimed at comedy, at that's what you'll get.
Sometimes i find it annoying cause there is no plot to the story but i can't help but come back to it. It's just too funny.
(and wow! 22 volumes! That's a lot! Whoa! I wonder when it will end?)

Thought the humor was average at best, never really clicked for me yet
the omake's at the end are funnier than the manga imo
art is average, characters too... like other gag mangas more
why rate it 7 then? because I hope at some point I will like this and there is some hidden potential that I cant see yet... I think

I don't really get it. Why's everyone so into Gintama? I read it because there were so many good comments but I can't really agree with what everyone is saying. Characters: funny and interesting. Art: ok. Plot: The biggest issue I have with Gintama is that it lacks plot. I read up to 247 and stopped because I just got bored. The stories always seem random and there isn't really any flow from one arc to the next. Oh and there's just too much gag (most of which is stupid?). It makes everything feel a little forced. I like some action, mystery, seriousness in mangas and on my scale, Gintama's just about average. I started reading this because it was about samurai but I realized halfway through that it's not anything like the historical action shounen I like. I can't compare it to Rurouni Kenshin at all. Meh. On hold for me.

nothing special, kinda boring actually. not feeling the story or the characters.

i guess i shouldnt have had any expectations. the humor isnt so great in my opinion. it feels like theyre trying too hard to have comedy in every line but despite that i can read several chapters without a single humorous exhale. 0.5 of my rating goes to the few times i did find something funny. I really like funny things, dont get me wrong, but theres nothing unexpected enough to be very funny to me.
theres little to no plot. it feels like... do you ever go through through the comics in the newspaper for funny comics but you get to the Spider-Man comic and you have no intention of following the continuity of why Mary-Jane got captured this time? now this is the opposite. you come in to get invested in a story but you feel like you're going through a compilation of garfield comics. the few times you get a wholesome "message" at the end of the chapter it doesnt really reach your heart. the moment it might get a bit to you, you can feel it. its another pointless punchline or maybe a hundred pointless punchlines
the art is decent but just worth another 0.5 into my rating. its decent but thats all it gets. the expressions are funny but its not the types that make me zoom in on the expressions and be like 'haha this expression drawing skill did an excellent job in assisting the quality of humor". if anything the expressions feel overdone.
i started this choosing between Gintama and Hunter X Hunter as long as HECK manga. i chose Gintama because some guy at an anime convention said its a very funny anime. haha i like funny things. i went 43 chapters in only to think eh this is pointless. maybe it translates better as an anime. or maybe it just wasnt meant for me

1 year back i used to like Gintama , but now it's come to the point where i just want this to end

i know it's a GAG manga but even this Genre has an expiry date and this Seriously needs to end now, coz all the LAUGHS now only comes from one tickling himself for amusement coz the episode and Chapters are like a blank stare.........it's that DULL seriously END this one
