Gintoki Sakata is the guy you want backing you up in any situation.  He was deemed the title “White Knight” (or White Demon by non-rebel Samurai) for his silver hair and flawlessness in the battles with the rebel Samurai against the Amanto (aliens), known as the “Joi War”, which the Amanto inevitably won.

Gintama takes place after the Joi War where Gintoki understands that resistance towards Amanto will lead to great loss of his comrades rather than victory. Trying to keep his past behind, he has become the boss of “Odd Jobs” working with Kagura and Shinpachi.

When reading the Manga or watching the anime, you’ll also notice how often Gintoki gets himself in very unlucky, almost impossible situations that will make you lol. Many times you’ll yell at the screen, “How the hell is all this happening with Gin-san?!”

Even though most people in the anime depict him as a lazy good for nothing or a pervert, they see the kindness within him. Gintoki has a strong sense of his Samurai code of honor and will put others before himself, even if they are strangers.

My Gintoki Sakata Collection

As some of you may know, Crunchyroll is a cute website that allows you to watch almost any popular anime and live action drama! This website is where I originally discovered Gintama episode 1 and it’s currently where I go for all the new releases.

What’s even better is you don’t have to pay any money to watch full episodes of Gintama. It’s always good to have a complete set of Gintama DVDs (including the movie!) neatly ordered in your Anime collection shelf, but for those less fortunate or on a tight budget, you can’t pass up the chance to watch Gintama fully subbed fresh from Japanese TV all for free.

For Otakus that have some change to spend:

So if you haven’t watched the anime yet or even read the manga, what are you waiting for? Watch Gintama Episode 1!
