>people were saying this is the greatest shonen of all time > saying it replaced brotherhood>supposedly bittersweet anime about moving on and regretting but ultimately learning from your past>oh shit i better check it out>all the emotional beats are premature and low impact>Himmel is a God Gary Stu character>jokes don’t land>tonal mismatch all over the place>all the themes are spelled out plainly >fights are aightReally? Don’t get me wrong it’s good, even great, but cmon
>>285230917Thats your problem. Gintama is better if we consider it a battle shonen. To be fair, if we are talking about any shonen there are better manga
>>285230917>even greatLet's not get too crazy
>>285230917it was ok I just got bored eventually because it was the same thing over and over
>>285230917Who are you quoting?
>>285230917Author was just not talented enough to write a good story out of this premise. That's why you have constant hiatus and story that's going nowhere.
>>285231345>>285231274>>285231230See this is what I’m saying…i don’t understand why so many people are so into it..is it the gooner bait?
>>285231715Frieren has none though? It's popular because of its simple theme, quality animation, stellar soundtrack and absence of "icky" elements like incest or whatever
>>285230917How could it replace brotherhood when it didn't even replace funny.png
>>285230917>it’s good, even greatWhich is enough to be the greatest shounen of all time.
>>285231715Just lots of cringe memes and gooner fanart
>>285231778This is only the second time I've seen its soundtrack complimented. Seriously?
>>285230917It isn't even good, the first 4 episodes were decent and went to shit once the demons like Lugner and Aura were introduced, it never recovered and only got worse with the Hunter Exam arc
>>285232872Except for the OP. Ugh, Yasobi...
>>285232872Soundtrack is excellent, not necessarily in the music itself but the way it complements the scenes.
>>285234957I didn't get that at all. Maybe that's just because I didn't care for any of the scenes themselves to begin with, but I would err on the side of it being as dull as the acting and sound design. For the sake of argument, your description would just be serviceable, which could be said of many random seasonals. Excellently complementing is preceded by being excellent in itself, or else it wouldn't add enough to excel past anything.
>>285230917People just like the girls, is always the girls, this is true in 99.99% of cases, after that is just people making excuses to hide the fact they just like to goon to the girls.
>>285230917>all the themes are spelled out plainlyThis isn't inherently a criticism and if you think it is you're the problem
>>285230917The series is good but it dropped in quality with the chuunin exam and then completely jumped the shark with that stupid time travel arc
>>285230917It's Adventures in Autism thus intensely relatable to the fans.It does nothing whatsoever novel or unexpected, and so is calming to them.
>>285230917I don't have to convice you of shit you dumbass filthy nigger, if I like it i'ts good if I do not like it it's shit simple as.
>>285235583But what if you have shit tastes and no awareness of it?
>>285235607Irony at its finest
>>285231328His own blog but he omitted the line about being a homo.
>>285230917>oh shit i better check it out This is exactly where you fucked up and I get to call you a faggot.
>>285231778>quality animation, stellar soundtrackSo it's just carried by the anime? No wonder it was practically unknown until then.
>>285238126I read the manga before there was an anime and I liked it
>>285231715>gooner baitYou haven't watched it
>>285231184Gintama is coming back to Netflix.
>>285238126The manga was really popular and selling like crazy. Not a indicative of quality though
>>285238126The manga was comfy.
>>285230917>Himmel is a God Gary Stu characterBro. He's literally a fraud that didn't even kill any of the demons he claimed to have killed. Part of the story is Frieren having to clean up his mess decades later since supposedly dead demons are popping back up to fuck everyone. He's not even the strongest either, that's Hero of the South.
>>285238542I mean, it indeed was (is) one of the top Shonen Sunday IPs at the time, but it didn't blow up like crazy until the anime, and all the praise I keep seeing it for it makes it seem more like the anime adaptation carrying it than anything.
