Gintama Episode 1

It's just a filler episode that mainly introduces the characters and isn’t really connected to the main plot. But if you want a good introduction to the anime, I’d recommend watching it to get a sense of the characters.

For a first two-part episode, it was great—slightly slow, as they included a brief, independent storyline just for the pilot. However, it was still quite engaging, thanks to the humor and the silly expressions the characters make.

A great first episode for introducing the lore and the anime's characters, even though it was technically a filler. Nearly an hour long, it was very entertaining, and the story was engaging enough to keep you watching

An incredible entry into a wildly hilarious world packed with unforgettable characters and a sharp, hyper-aware, tongue-in-cheek vibe. It feels like the original manga bursting to life off the page. Old-school anime humor fused with smart modern references, an insanely fun combo.

Never expected Gintama would be this funny! First episode in and all I did was laugh. There are just references that you have to search for if you are not heavy into Japanese culture but it is informative and over-all so funny.
