I've went more than double the amount of episodes with One Piece, when I considered for myself that this series goes nowhere. Same with Bleach, but it was also dropped by the studio. And Naruto Shippuuden? The Anime is a dead horse. I've just finished it by reading the Manga, and won't probably bother with it anymore. These weekly long run anime just got on my nerves. Bad animation quality overall, bad pacing and lots of bad fillers which obviously bring the story nowhere. Maybe I will continue Gintama for another 10 eps or so. But at the moment... I can't get myself into watching it. |
Well, if you care a lot about a solid story, then Gintama isn't for you. It may not have a whole bunch of that filler material, but it's more about characters than anything else. Its comedy is also heavily Japanese-centric, whether it's people, other anime, or the culture itself. Just going off of what you said, it seems like you want an anime that is well-animated, well-paced, little-to-no filler, and has a good engaging story. I mean, sounds obvious that people want those things, but I think if you want something like that you're better off going to a 12-24 episode anime, or one that isn't over 100 episodes long.
