>367 episodes>1 spin-off >4 anime movies>2 live-action movies>8 games>0 cultural impact How?
my hero
the episodes were very hit and missa lot of the humor relied on references, and those filter casuals and don't age well
>>291118503This, 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.>>291118390It did help Sugita mature into his veteran Seiyuu self so I guess there's at least indirect cultural impact.
>>291118390>Cultural impactWhy today people love talking as if that make a huge difference?
>>291118390Gintama has a big cultural impact, just not in the west because it filtered normalfags
>>291118390Its the kind of show that never even got an English dubWell, its still really big in Japan and they're still milking it with the remake movies
>>291118390It's a mediocre "comedy" that turns into a dogshit battle shounen slop.
>>291119380You like moeshit for sure, fuck you nigger.
>>291118390>0 cultural impactyou never talked to a japanese woman in your life
the fuck is cultural impact? do you want people making butt jokes!?
>>291120873>the fuck is cultural impact?Quantity of AMVs
>>291118390They do have cultural impact, just not output-from-the-industry impact.
Dont know, dont care. Watched all of it and it was great.
>>291119470It's moeshitters that usually like Gintama, retard.
>>291118633Its the only way children can try to gauge the value of things, this board is mainly teenagers shitposting in shounen generals.
>>291122523I see, glad to hear you're such a big Gintama fan then! Based.
>>291118390not funny
>>291118390It 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.https://jumpsokuhou.blog.jp/archives/1084338744.html
>>291118563idk the monkey hunter arc was funny as shit without me ever playing monster hunter, could understand it just fine with general mmo knowledge
>>291118390>>291120544>>291122501>"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.
>>291123424>>291124989See >>291125283He'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
>>291125283Also 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.
inb4:>Thread dies because he runs as soon as he is named>"boogieman">"poopdickschizo">screenshot of (You)s to "prove" he hasn't samefagged>obsessing over whites and asians and race in general since he is insecure about his own, and having no culture >"post hand" despite being too scared to post his own (demon slayer threads had a funny as hell "post your passport" arc too
>>291118390It's too weird for a Western audience. It's kind of like the same reason why Monogatari also had zero impact.
>>291118390>0 cultural impactYou are new and an uncultured swine
>>291118390It oddly had a lot of impact on yaoi, was (in part) one of the reasons the landscape changed so drastically from the 00s to the 10s.
>>291126592gintoki, you're supposed to be an oldfag on this site, you're not supposed to take obvious bait this easily. read this and get educated >>291125283https://desuarchive.org/a/search/text/%22cultural%20impact%22/>1867 results found
>>291122558I hate both retard.
>>291127299Nah, you dont. Moeshitters like you are HUGE Gintama fans, after all.
>>291127325>>291127299stop baiting/replying to bait
>>291126741That's plainly sad.
>>291125283Why the fuck is like half the traffic to this fucking board just schizo ritual posts now? This is hell.
It's insane how you guys think everyone is the same guy as some other schizo
If it had zero impact, why do I always think of grillin when I see krillin?
>>291118390There's like 2, maybe 3, anime that have had cultural impact period.
>>291128665JJK, One Piece and Dragon Ball?
Sad...
>comedy isn't funny>characters are bland>every arc ends with "villain is redeemed somewhat then dies">certain character is built up only to be disappointing (terrorist guy voiced by Koyasu that I don't remember the name of)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
>>291118390It's basically Japanese family guy but with some plot.What impact has family guy?
>>291130223"Hey Lois" jokes
It's kind of hard for something that is primarily parody to have cultural impact when the majority of it is built off everything else's cultural impact.
>>291118390the whole thing is just dick jokes
if that was me on that battlefield, it wouldn't have ended like it did
>>291130381there would've been a lot of blood in that first class execution
>>291128159yes, very.>>291128330because traffic is down but schizoes who have enough money to not die only get schizoer over time. the nigga i'm talking about easily makes 1000+ posts every day here just falseflagging and trolling.
>>291122501>>291122538>>291123424yeah 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
>>291130172you're not mature enough to appreciate it yet.evidence 1: thinking that explaining the psychological profile equates to "redeeming" a villain
>>291130113>>291130223>>291130288>>291130236all me
>>291130868kek now watch as the screenshot calling card appears
>>291130852>you're not mature enough to appreciate a genre for childrenI got it, I just didn't think it was funny, good or clever. There is such a thing as reusing plot points too much.
>>291132001yeah, you weren't mature enough and now you're sounding insecure about it :Pit's okay everyone can mature if they try
>>291118390gintama is too japanese for international audiences
Rewatching it I cant help but notice the GintokixKagura ship was there all along, I think gorilla even sabotaged the SogoxKagura one since it basically went nowhere.
>>291135662>:PNigger are you from gaia or something?
>>291135662tsukkomi-boke is shit
>>291135800why would you say such a hurtful thing? (this is my tsukkomi)
>>291118390I love it
>>291135561I mean, no pairings went anywhere so I don't think that had anything to do with it. But, yeah, there was definitely some Kagura/Gintoki shipping.
>>291118633Everyone knows that quality is measured by the number of tiktoks it gets frfr
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
Gintama is one of the greatest anime of all time and Gintoki is one of the best characters ever made
>>291140563>>291139999>>291139905pretty much agree with these, ctrl+f "paste" in this thread to read my other opinion DONDAKEEE
I still occasionally think about Gintoki breaking Kamuis arm that shit was cold blooded
>>291118390>le funny reference anime>has nothing else to offerI wonder why.
>>291118390Too high IQ toilet humorNot even kidding, it really is, similar to Rosen Garten Saga and its dick&homo jokes
>>291118390How do you localize this to english?
>>291143019Change all the references into e-celeb ones
>>291118390It's a heavily japanese show in the age of globalism, what do you think anon?
>>291118390Nowadays when I see Gintama all thT come to my head is pro wrestling
>>291118390It doesn't have any romance or shipping potential
>>291120544Oh yea women absolutely love Gintama
>>291118390I was enjoying it, but also I was using a viewing guide telling me to skip every other episode. So I can definitely see why it's hard to get into.
>>291118390Because it's too Japanese. Personally I find the constant 4th wall breaking hacky.>hurr we are anime chatacters>looks like the author ran out of ideas again>GIN-SAN this is terrible the staff quit and we can't move anymore because there's nobody to animate us!!
>>291150103The 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.
Endgame right here.
>>291118390>0 cultural impactGintama 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.
>>291150103I 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.
>>291152589This, 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.
