The majority of Gintama's jokes/gags are about are about Japanese pop culture so if you don't know anything about that then you won't get a lot of the jokes. Also like any long series episodes are hit and miss and there are a lot of fillers but they have some really funny episodes if you look, not to mention there serious or action arcs have better animation and fight scenes than 90% of other anime. All these people who watch one or two episodes of something and then right a review about them are dicks, don't waste people's time when you don't know what you are talking about. If I only watched 1-2 episode of School Days I would have thought it was just another love comedy with a plot I've seen a million times before. P.S Gintama is a gag manga it is about ridiculous jokes and nonsense plots, some people don't have a sense of humor to them: would you please not watch this and write some half assed review if you wanna only watch serious soul crushing anime or naruto then do that and don't be a prick and trash othe anime for no good reason.
