I don't think anyone can be so familiar with the Japanese language and culture to fully understand gintama. It's still amazing tho
I bet to Japanese people it'll age weirdly with the references it kept making to politicians and actors of the time.
I really enjoyed it when it wasn't trying to be a shonen jump anime. My favourite episodes like the Nabe Shogun bottle episode, or the several lazy animator episodes either with the drawing quality rock bottom or the paralysis with no animation at all.
I used to watch it on a service called something like animeftw or something that's no longer around on an xbox xbmc setup. So much nostalgia when I see screen caps.
