For those of you looking for a series that tries to bend the rules established by shounen manga, this is one to check out. It pokes fun at nearly every anime, manga, or video game trope out there. The more anime you watch, the more manga you read, the more video games you play, the funnier Gintama gets.
Gintama can be watched on Crunchyroll. For those of you that watch it, which arcs do you hope to see animated? Let us know in the comments below.
