Plot:
The story of Gin Tama takes place in Edo (known today as Tokyo because of its name change in 1868), Japan, which was conquered by aliens called "Amanto" (天人?, "Sky People") in the late Edo period. The samurai of Japan fought the aliens,
but after their defeat the Amanto placed a ban on carrying swords in public. The plot is focused on an eccentric samurai, Gintoki Sakata who helps a teenager named Shinpachi Shimura save his sister Tae from a group of aliens who want to make her part of a brothel. Impressed with Gintoki, Shinpachi becomes his apprentice and works with him as a freelancer in order to pay the monthly rent where Gintoki lives, as well as to know more about him. The two of them rescue a teenage alien girl named Kagura from a group of Yakuza who wanted to use her superhuman strength to kill people. Kagura joins Shinpachi and Gintoki to work as freelancers and the three become known as "Yorozuya" (万屋?, "Jack of All Trades"). While doing their job they encounter the police force Shinsengumi several times, who normally ally with Odd Jobs Gin in their work since they commonly involve dangerous criminals. They also come to meet Gintoki's former comrades during the Amanto's invasion, including the terrorist Kotaro Katsura who maintains a friendly relationship with them despite his ambitions to destroy the bakufu. On the other hand, Shinsuke Takasugi acts as a major antagonist throughout the series, as he wants to destroy the bakufu in a more violent way than Katsura does.

Review:
For those who are depressed watching the same old plot style of anime, here's a good anime for you. Gintama is a hilarious gag show that had a lot of parodies taken from different sorts of anime/manga. The first episodes are quite boring due to the fact that they're just introducing every characters, but just wait until you watch the later episodes.
Gintama is so funny in a random way because they all act stupid and ignorant. Every character of Gintama had its uniqueness in terms of personality which was why some fans that watched the show were kind of idolizing them.Gintama sometimes had vulgar and harsh scenes but this was one of the reasons why the show became unique.
There are also short story arcs that will proceed to the real plot which is VERY appealing to us watchers.
Best ways to watch:
If you have watched a lot of mainstream anime or can relate to humor and comedy genre.
Rating: 8.5/10
