Gintama is a phenomenal anime, and its approach is none like any other anime. To make a viewer laugh, it goes to extreme lengths, and as a result, it is one of the best anime series to date.
If you’re having trouble watching the anime, our Gintama watch order guide will help you make your watch easier and more accurate. So, let’s get started.
Gintama Watch Order!
1. Gintama
The anime’s first season is titled “Gintama“, and if you’re going to watch it, start with episode 3 because that’s where the story starts.
The first two episodes are anime originals made to celebrate the adaptation of the manga. So, make sure to keep this in mind before getting started.
2. Gintama’
Just because the title is weird, don’t think of it as a movie or anything. Gintama’ is the second season of the anime and once you’re done watching the first season, jump right into it.
3. Gintama’: Enchousen
Again, don’t get confused because of the title. Gintama’: Enchousen is the third season that covers episodes 253-265, and you can watch it once you finish season 2.
Although it’s shorter than other previous seasons, it brings a lot of action and comedy for you. So, make sure to watch it at any cost.
4. Gintama Movie 2: The Final Chapter- Be Forever Yorozuya
Wait, why does the title say movie2 when there is only a single movie on the list until now. Well, it’s simple. The franchise has made a movie combining episodes 58-61 with better animation (we’ll come back to it later.)
Anyway, the movie is made after the third season, and according to the timeline, storyline, you can only understand it if you have watched the previous seasons.
5. Gintamaº
Gintamaº is the fourth season of the anime and covers episodes 266-316. So right after you watch the movie, this is the one you need to check out.
6. Gintama.
It doesn’t matter how many seasons; the franchise always comes up with weird and unique titles. Likewise, this one is the fifth season of the anime. It covers episodes 317-328.
7. Gintama.: Slip Arc
Gintama.: Slip Arc is the sixth season of the anime that comedy arcs/episodes appear before the content of 300 episodes (farewell Shinsengumi arc).
Without any seriousness, it provides funny and cringeworthy episodes to make you laugh out loud. So, watch it once you’re finished with the fifth season (Gintama.).
8. Gintama.: Silver Soul Arc
The seventh season is divided into two halves: Gintama.: Silver Soul Arc and Gintama.: Silver Soul Arc- Second Half War.
It covers the episodes starting from 342 and ends at 367. So, right after the Slip Arc (sixth season), you’re good to watch this one.
9. Gintama: The Semi-Final
The Semi-Final part contains two episodes that take place between episode 367 and the final movie. So, make sure to watch it once you’re done with Silver Soul Arc (seventh season).
10. Gintama: The Final
Finally, you’re going to part with the most attached and loved anime of your life. Since this is the final movie and concludes the story, you should watch this one after watching all the seasons.
So, the above Gintama watch order is recommended for people who don’t want any complications. But if you want to experience the anime at its best, we recommend you follow the below order.
