Gintama'
銀魂'After a one-year hiatus, Shinpachi Shimura returns to Edo, only to stumble upon a shocking surprise: Gintoki and Kagura, his fellow Yorozuya members, have become completely different characters! Fleeing from the Yorozuya headquarters in confusion, Shinpachi finds that all the denizens of Edo have undergone impossibly extreme changes, in both appearance and personality. Most unbelievably, his sister Otae has married the Shinsengumi chief and shameless stalker Isao Kondou and is pregnant with their first child. Bewildered, Shinpachi agrees to join the Shinsengumi at Otae and Kondou's request and finds even more startling transformations afoot both in and out of the ranks of the the organization. However, discovering that Vice Chief Toushirou Hijikata has remained unchanged, Shinpachi and his unlikely Shinsengumi ally set out to return the city of Edo to how they remember it. With even more dirty jokes, tongue-in-cheek parodies, and shameless references, Gintama' follows the Yorozuya team through more of their misadventures in the vibrant, alien-filled world of Edo.

Why this isn’t stupidly crazy:
You’re probably thinking now: ‘what the hell!?’ and I guess I should tell you why something as crazy and mad as Gin tama has lasted so long, especially considering that it has no real long term story line. It’s because Gin tama is utter genius. It has the power to make you laugh out loud but it also has moments (though rare I must admit) that make you just want to bawl you’re eyes out.
The action sequences are breath taking and full of so much tension you’ll crave for Katsura’s usual crazy antics and you’ll be wishing for a time machine so you can bring all the laughter back; because when Gin tama’s serious, it is REALLY serious.
You want a stable plot? Why? Gin Tama would never be as good if it followed all those boring normal conventions that we normally associate with anime and manga. In fact it will make fun of every single cliché in anime there ever was; it will have jokes that any frequent anime watcher will be able to appreciate. But hey, I understand, not everybody will like Gin tama because I know many probably won’t be able to get over the fact it has no central plot.
Why YOU should watch it:
Gin tama; well its funny and not the little smile kind of funny either, it really does make you laugh out loud. The characters are all unique as are the stories, which range from perverted Santa’s, to death matches over who gets the meat in the food.
My only one qualm with Gin tama is its first few episodes. Gin tama does start off slow, but once it gets going it becomes incredibly good and the pace and timing of the show are handled well. So what I mean to say is don’t give up before you even reach episode 5, you’re sure to miss out on a lot of fun if you do things that way as the first episodes are mainly introductory (the first two being non-canon).
