the episodes were very hit and miss

a lot of the humor relied on references, and those filter casuals and don't age well

>>291118503
This, you could lose severl entire episodes worth of jokes because you didn't play monster hunter, didn't care for kuroko no basket, or never watched Gundam.
>>291118390
It did help Sugita mature into his veteran Seiyuu self so I guess there's at least indirect cultural impact.

Gintama has a big cultural impact, just not in the west because it filtered normalfags

Its the kind of show that never even got an English dub

It had influence in Japan, just never was big in the West.

There were actually several anime with mix of modern day and late edo era style featuring historical people that got spotlight in Gintama, like Takasugi and Katsura (although none of them were successful as far as I know), see Bakumatsu Rock or Bakumatsu Crisis which seems way too close to be a coincidence. It's just none of those were successful either as far as I know.

The staff that worked on the Gintama anime went on to work on several other comedy anime taking several stylistic traits from Gintama to those too.

Jokes on the sponsor messages on the Japanese text on the sides of the sponsor screen are fairly common nowadays.

Heck, DBZ "Yamcha is a loser" jokes were spread around in Japan in large part thanks to Gintama, beforehand they mostly joked about Kuririn being weak, and Yamcha was just overlooked forgotten.

See this 5ch archive chat for example, some people talk about it that during the actual run there weren't all these "Yamcha is a loser" jokes and it was mostly spread by parody series that came later.

>"cultural impact"
Don't reply to this thread, it's a bait thread by the guy who demon slayer mindbroken, he falseflags in every single big anime or shonen thread, e.g. 200+ posts in every shonen jump general are all his falseflagging and flamewarring multiple sides. He's a 40 year old african american incel with a two inch penis which is why he was mindbroken and now spends his remaining days on this earth grooming people into BLACKED (to cope for his tiny penis and inceldom) and "trolling" people to pretend like he has high IQ despite trolling being something people with 90 IQ can do on an anonymous site.
Don't believe me? Search "cultural impact" on desuarchive and see the sad trail of evidence that shows up.

He's prolific all around the site and has been for 15 years now, not everyone knows yet so unfortunately people still waste their time with his bait. You can also search arch.b4k and desuarchive for "Jeremy", "Barry", "rugga", "ulmer", and so on for more of his sob story
>>
>>291125283
Also he thinks he is smart or some kind of manipulator despite being actually retarded enough to post a picture of his own 2 inch penis on 4chan. Yes, that is part of how we doxxed him. He forgot to take off his trip when he posted a two inch pic of his dick on 4chan while ERPing.

I haven't finished it and I only watched it because someone wanted me to. The other guy got as far as me and it is one of his favorite shows somehow. I think all we have left is movies and OVAs but honestly I don't remember because it's been years. and he didn't want to keep going until someone else he knew was caught up

yeah and a funny one is both Toriyama and Oda's daughters said they loved Gintama and when Toriyama though this daughter was loving Dragon Ball he looked closer and it was a Dragonball parody page in gintama kek. More stories like that here, pastebin.com/pQZ6C3pu and also some funny interview stuff, go check it out now the first one is hilarious, but yeah. also it birthed kimetsu no yaiba so that's a bit of kultcha for you right there

I think 80% of the shows jokes being japan centric makes it harder for the rest of the world to relate.
Also, theres seriously funny moments but gintama also has some embarrassing attempts at comedy

The anime and voice acting and direction kind of overplays it. The manga (before Sorachi got super super overworked with movie storyboards and oneshot manuscripts and planning big arcs at the same time as doing a weekly manga for a few years) was more contained.

Gintama doesnt make cultural impact, it curates it. If any gets parodied by it it is proof that that series had cultural impact. The Gintama seal of authenticity.
>>
>>291150103
I like Gintama but also hate it. The 4th wall jokes undermine the very foundation of this world you're supposed to become emotionally invested in, especially since it gets incredibly tragic and dark but since there's basically no 4th wall it's impossible to care for the characters. But maybe it's just me.
>>
>>291152589
This, my first exposure to a lot of obscure Japanese things were through gintama, stuff like their overblown public apologies, the shinsengumi and Edo.
It plays downstream of culture not upstream.
