Why do the Asians love it while the West barely acknowledges its existence?
The LA-movie was a hit
Gintama
It has so many Japanese only jokes most western people can't understand. Also a non-Sugita VA would kill the project.
That said, I know a ton of fans of the series from my interactions at conventions and meet ups. Its likely more on the company level than a popularity level
>inb4 it's shit
>while the West barely acknowledges its existence?
The west loves it too. It's dominating the MAL scores. The difference is that it's fujobait, and while you consider Sup Forums fujoshi annoying, they are really quite contained.
Because CR doesn't have all the translator notes.
>Japanese only jokes
considering how fast the Chinese are with their scanlations, I'd say it's popular in other parts of Asia too
maybe it just translates better
>that it's fujobait
>confirmed for not watching Gintama
I watched it and I like it.
Fujobait does not mean gay.
endgame right here
Yoshiwara in flames movie when ??
>MAL
>Literally a huge circlejerk for fujo's and faggots.
kek.
>implying Fujo's aren't the only reason Gintama is still ongoing.
I liked the show before Gorilla started us on this shitty arc. Still, it has always been undeniably fujobait.
It's an okay show that ruined itself by never ending. I dropped it 50 episodes in because the humor had already gotten stale and repetitive.
Never. Just another Benizakura arc movie
>never ending,
unlike One Piece?
besides, this is Gintamas last arc
What does One Piece have to do with anything? Do you not know how to argue without deflecting to something unrelated? Is SJ garbage the only shit you know about?
>Gintamas last arc
I-i-i-it can't be true
are you even keeping up with the manga?
guess who's dead
I'm up to date, but I keep the hope that we just get GintamaNEXT and have more fun.
like what, you want 'Guroto'?
let Sorachi move on to his next big project free of the strains of his old work
though, I wouldn't mind if his next work is sci-fi again
You know the last chapter is going to be a Buroto ripoff before re-establishing the status quo.
I wouldn't mind a never ending Gintama though.
>status quo
only people who have never read up on their Japanese history believe this
It doesn't, but still the show isn't fujobait. It takes a special kind of retard to believe that Gintama and fujobait shows like Faggots on Ice, Owari no Seraph or Free are even remotely close.
>It's dominating the MAL scores.
Only because it has a lot of episodes while being actually good for the most part. The MAL scoring system has a strong bias in favor of shows with more episodes.
It has a fifth of the popularity of Steins;Gate or Code Geass, and about the same as Tamako Market or Oda Nobuna no Yabou.
only if it ends with Kagura's and Sougo's hellspawn(s)
>Look at my little angel
>Like, the fallen kind?
That thing will be the most adorable psychopath.
His uncle will be so proud.
>or Free
Free has basically the same fujo-bait level that Gintama has.
What Fujobait does Gintama have?
The one episode where Hijikata and Gin swap bodies? Most of the fujo produced by Gintama is just fanproduced.
>What Fujobait does Gintama have?
Gin points out the DVD covers. I've never seen the real ones, but if the show isn't trolling, then the side material is true bait.
Also, the fact that these two canonically had sex with each other?
Gin and Hasegawa are not Fujobait.
The majority of fujo fans don't care about that ship.
also implying that it's not normal to get drunk and stick it in a man once and a while
>Gin and Hasegawa are not Fujobait.
Male, handsome rivals?
That's the quintessence of fujobait.
that's filler
>also, the episode in which Gin and Hiji get cuffed top each other
Hasegawa and Gin having sex isn't- they did that
>Hasegawa is still married, isn't he?
also: it isn't THAT fujo; sure Hiji/Gin might be the most popular ship, but there are enough people who ship Gin with Tae or Tsukky
or many other straight ships
and Kyubeii/Tae
My doujins won't agree with you
>there are enough people who ship Gin with Tae or Tsukky
You are on Sup Forums, where fujoshi are rather underrepresented. Never forget that.
...
>cucking your wife with your BFF
this is why he's a MADAO
> there are enough people who ship Gin with Tae or Tsukky
In Japan the only popular het pairing is OkiKagu, the rest is nothing.
>mal niggers
>its fujobait
kek
GinTsuki is pretty big overseas
>not shipping GinTama
In Japan:
GinHiji >>>>>>>>>>> OkiKagu (the fujos like it surprisingly) >>> TakaZura > HijiOki > the rest.
>in Japan
not only in Japan
makes me wonder if the LA did add any fuel to the flame
No. Even GinKagu is more popular in Japan.
GinTaka is way more popular than TakaZura, user.
Gintama isn't fujobait. It attracts a lot of fujoshi and there are a few referential nods to that part of the fanbase but the series has never been something along the lines of Prince of Tennis or Haikyuu which are much more deliberate with it.
This is simply not true.
I hope Gin bought her new underwear
or at least gave her the money for it
at least care a little more for your pet rabbit, holy shit
>implying he doesn't splurge his money for his adopted daughteru
> GinKagu 銀神
> 3800 (pixiv)
> GinTsu 銀月
> 2400 (pixiv)
It's literally Japanese Family Guy, but with actual good fighting.
Americans won't understand any references that aren't to Shonen Jump animes.
Unless you're a weirdo like me, who actually likes the obscure Japanese references.
he hasn't paid her in months and she sleeps in a closet
she's an illegal alien, literally, working without pay
>沖神 (Okikagu)-14821results
>銀土 (GinHiji) - 13172results
well, I think OkiKagu won this fight
or is there a more popular one I don't know about?
It has multiple attractive men interacting with each other: of course it's fujobait.
It also got enough interesting female characters
Free and Haikyuu also have cute female characters. Kuro no Basuke even has lesbians. That doesn't mean anything.
You know what? Those deaths doesn't mean shit right now. Most of characters should be dead a long time ago.
Great news
>this shitty arc
Are you talking about the final one?
Well, you may say that is ""shit"" but Gorilla isn't a hack, he clearly know what he does.
Well, I'm really glad that it got mostly positive reviews. Is the live-action movie reputation is the same as the Rurouni Kenshin ones, as well?
Gintama is going to have a video game. Thoughts?

>no VN shenanigans
Dropped desu
youtube.com
You think a VN would be better? Look at this masterpiece, user.
>not a VN were you join the Odd Jobs and hang out with them
>including a full 30 minute portion where it's just the still frame of the building
>Owari no Seraph
NO
>the most meta VN to be out
The manga isnt really a fujobait.
But the anime is straight made for fujos
More like FUJOtama, amirite?!
>The Shinpachi Romance Route ends with you running off into the sunset with his Glasses leaving him behind.
>The VN is also showing Gin only reading his Jump and Kagura finishing up the rice cooker
>The Hasegawa Story ends up being the best, where you can max out your friendship to get him back with his wife.
You can now hear that BGM in your head.
I really don't get why Gintama fandom is cheap and or maybe practical as fuck. DVD Sales for the newer seasons is the almost same amount of Blu-ray sales. Who the fuck buys DVD in 2017?
>not trying to buy Gintama in the lowest quality
It's like you want to let Gin down
>intresting
Key word user. Not cheerleaders or moe trash
I feel like people who say this is fujobait have never actually seen this series
Shouldn't be surprising, especially when pretty much explains why no one watches it for the most part.
>Who the fuck buys DVDs in 2017
I'm wondering that too, user
Friendly reminder that Gura a cute.
>Who the fuck buys DVD in 2017?
Fujoshi. That's how you recognize fujoshi sales.
>tfw never have a daughteru like Gura ever
Most of the jokes are Japanese pop culture reference. It dropped a Changeman/Bioman joke season before last that I guaranty outside of Tokufags only spics and pinoys would get
Or heck even maybe diehard fans
And some from Western Culture as well
it is huge with currently already cake-y fujos all other the word, who keep continuously buying fucking keychains. It's like Natsume for cute-fags but for shonenfag-type of them instead
...
>the most meta trailer to be out
youtube.com
Gura top-tier daughterfu!
Fujos will ship any guys that stand next to each other.
more importantly, why do JAPS like the shonenshit arcs more than the GOD-tier SoL/comedy arcs
I'm fucking mad that this "gintoki's sensei is an alien trying to destroy the world" ate up so many episodes that there were none left for pure comedy arcs
the west's opinion is irrelevant
people who call it fujobait are retards trying to be edgy
How is fujobait edgy?
>family guy
please, don't compare gintama to that cancer
you could have said the simpsons or even south park
>I'm so cool and edgy I sum up an entire series of 400+ loosely connected episodes as fujobait even though there is none in the anime
the quintessential Sup Forums poster
They don't like it as reflected on Jump TOC
sauce? people on 2ch liked the shonenshit arcs
>I sum up an entire series
But no summing up has taken place. Do you also think genres are summaries?
And you are still randomly using edgy in a way that I really don't understand. Are you just using buzzwords?
Because it's just as funny as family guy
IE it's all cancer and you're the cancer of this medium
DON'T EQUATE IT WITH FAMILY GUY OR ELSE
Dumb frogposter.
>fujobait is a genre
are you dumb?
That's not what I said.
