| I was thinking recently that Gintama has two distinct tendencies: hilarious episodes and serious episodes. Some episodes have no jokes a all and somehow try to be a battle shonen instead. While others are truly hilarious. It is important to know which episodes are which so you will not end up sloging though the entire Benizakura Ark or something like that. Naruto for example has a guide on episodes if they are filler or canon. I think Gintama needs a similar guide on whether episode is funny or it is serious. That way it would be easier to tell what to watch and what to skip. |

| Well, making a guide for skipping comedy episodes or any other would lack character development and enjoyment, imo. Even the fillers are mostly funny so I don't skip these things out. What makes Gintama interesting and entertaining is the amalgamation of comedy and drama that sets it apart from other action shounens. The cast and their relationships are character-driven throughout the comedic episode, building character development for the serious arc/episode. |

| Kind of different from what I intended. It says things like: '98-99 (Not necessary but lots and lots of Nintendo parodies are here)' Bentendo OwEee is one of the most hilarious arks, this guide instead says you can just skip it. In fact you should watch Gintama precisely for arks like Bentendo OwEee. Yamazaki infiltrates Joishishi is also one of the funniest arks, this guide does not highlight it at all. I think it is episodes 107 to 109 itsrj20 said: Well, making a guide for skipping comedy episodes or any other would lack character development and enjoyment, imo.

Guide that skips character development and only leaves out comedy. |

Guide that skips character development and only leaves out comedy. I'm saying there's no point in trying to make a skippable guide. 70-80% of Gintama is comedy, while 20-30% is serious. Newcomers will not leave that 20%, I mean why would they leave 20%. As for the re-watchers, they already know which arcs are funny or which aren't, which kind of defeats the purpose of the guide. But well, having a guide wouldn't hurt anything, but who would go to the effort of making one? :0 |

| Why would you want to skip episodes |
| "Human potential for evolution is limitless. Steel Ball Run is not peak fiction it's beyond fiction and possibly even the pinnacle of human literature, an amalgamation of all the masterpieces " -The Ruler of this universe |
| I personally think that Gintama is at it's finest when it's following a (somewhat) serious story arc. At those time it is simplt perfection. |
 |
| it doesn't exist after all this time bc you're not intended to skip anything. serious arcs like the red spider arc is what made me love gintama even more. |
 |
| Most people like Gintama for its comedy so that doesn’t make sense and the funny moments a lot of times end up advancing the plot. |
 |
| I said the opposite: I said skip serious ark and only keep comedy. Do you even read? |
