Summary:

First, the aliens invaded the earth, overpowered the nation’s government, disbanded carrying swords for the once proud samurais. moreover; these aliens took the people’ jobs and are currently running a sweatshop using them as laborers. going with the flow, Sakata Gintoki, an enigmatic vagrant samurai whose personal trademark is not only his naturally permed silver hair but also his love of anything sweet and addiction Shounen Jump is making a life out of this chaotic era. He is self employed in a do-it-all shop named Yoruzuya Gin-chan who offers any job for any amount of money. Their jobs range from searching lost kittens and saving the world.
Sakata Gintoki is a samurai living in an era when samurais are no longer needed. To add to his troubles, oppressive aliens have moved in to invade. Gintoki lives with Kagura and Shinpachi, taking on odd jobs to make the world a better place...and to pay their rent.
This anime is one of a kind - I mostly watch action animes like Bleach, Naruto, Hunter x Hunter and only started watching this to past the time. It is so gripping and entertaining that after watching just a few episodes I found myself laughing to the point of tears (makes no sense - never did to me either untill now). Have to admit took me a while to get used to the animation and at 1st seemingly random plot but after 1st 3 episodes couldn't get enough of it. Main tip is to give this anime a fair shot and watch openmindedly and I'm sure you'll soon enjoy it as much as I do.
PS: towards NarutoUzumaki's rather indecent and moronic review pls note that not all Naruto fans are as childish as him.
And toward NarutoUzumaki himself pls realize that the anime world doesnt revolve around Naruto and that u can't just deminish the value of other animes and worse insult every person who disagrees with u regarding Naruto - I for one am a Naruto fan myself and can't wait for the Ninja war to finally start (really not liking the endless fillers).
