Gintama is the ultimate parody of well-known Shonen anime, tropes, and Japanese pop-culture references. Don’t get me wrong, Gintama isn’t just about comedy; it also comes with a captivating story. If you aren’t aware yet, all the anime, movies, and more in the Gintama franchise are among the highest-rated anime on MAL. So, if you are an otaku who has watched a majority of anime then this is absolute comedy gold for you. To begin your adventure with the samurai Gintoki, here is our list of Gintama filler episodes you can skip.
Gintama is a quirky Shonen anime, and it’s unlike anything you have ever seen. If you don’t believe me, just hear out the story – The hero Gintoki Sakato is a jobless samurai and he seeks employment in a period where aliens have taken control of feudal Japan. Sounds pretty wacky, right? It evolves more than that in its run with 369 episodes.

In contrast to One Piece and Naruto, Gintama comes with fewer fillers. But the surprising fact about Gintama is that its fillers are extremely entertaining, unlike other Shonen anime.
