| Hey Guy's!! So i watched 3 EPs of Gintama I'm not sure How Gintama Anime is but i wanna Know about Gintama's Popularity we all know that it has pretty High Score and it's funny etc etc that's what most people say so How come it's not as Popular as other Shounen anime like Naruto,bleach,one piece etc etc also only 292k people Completed it, since it came out in 2000s era that's why i mentioned the Big three as well, So what makes it different that it has not the same popularity as these shows? is it because Gintama doesn't focus on fight's etc etc like Longer Arcs in other Animes, We know it Came out pretty Long time ago but didn't reached the popularity as the other still i hear about Gintama here and there, it's as popular but not that much popular after 2006 Gintama. Thank u |

| Naruto, bleach, and one piece are shonen manga with comedic parts, but Gintama is a comedy manga with shonen parts |

| Firstly, Mal's popularity and numbers is not a good indicative of real popularity. Mal does not have many Japanese members while Gintama is loved by Japanese people a lot. Secondly, Its obviously not Big 3 level popular. The big 3 had great manga sales and were well known throughout the world because they were action shonen while gintama is mostly comedy. Also many people know a lot about Gintama but they dont start watching it because its a lengthy series with many episodes and seasons. |
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.  |
| Gintama is one of the most popular and one ofthe highest rated anime series in japan. Western popularity don't mean shit for anime, let alone MAL popularity which is isn't that big to begin with. |

As for it never became as big as the big three (even though it should've been obvious from the start): -lacking in animation -very slow start -very long anime compared to other comedy series;too short compared to other battle manga series -there really isn't a clear direction nor goal from the start to hook people. The closest we got are when serious arcs appear suddenly in certain episodes. -no dub for the time -comedy is not really what tweens are looking for in their anime -not really managing to capture the shonen demographic at its prime -episodic in nature -the comedic nature is built upon referencing japanese culture so other countries can't understand some of the jokes further alienating foreign export -jerks as characters -short arcs longest one is 26 episodes and that's because it's the final arc. -very adult humor here and there -the very fact that it takes a good amount of luck and talent not to mention proper advertisement to lure in an audience whereas Gintama always struggled on how to advertise and created games around it causing the actual anime to reference this There are probably more I could not list of but there is no need to delve deeper as to why Gintama is more notorious than popular in the larger anime community as there are a bunch of anime of varying quality and even having a bunch of other seasons and movies but not really becoming popular, at least outside of Japan. Popularity can speak to a show's quality but it is very very unreliable. Side note: Also Gintama Season 1 has 900 000 people and personally I think that's a lot. |

| It's big in Japan but it's very different from other bigger Jump titles. More of a gag-style with mini-arcs and standalone episodes/chapters all over, referential humor based on Japanese culture all over beyond just anime and manga references, lack of plot movement for a major part of the series until way later. It's the kind of series that's not the best one to start off with compared to a Naruto, Bleach, One Piece or even other modern day shounen anime, actually it's better when you've seen a lot of anime so you know more references of it for humor than with no knowledge. Western viewers won't be appealed to see this kind of series with Japanese-heavy pop culture references than with a proper shounen series which they can consume easy with no knowledge necessary. |

I personally think the animation is amazing... especially for a 2000s' anime. Maybe the comedy episodes dont look so good but its fight scenes could put to shame most of new shounen anime |
