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.

But gintama does have a solid story if you have the patience to go through it all. Its story is amazing

Sorry, I probably used the wrong word.  I meant more like an anime that has one contiguous story across the episodes, and Gintama clearly does not have that.  The story is scattered across the 300 or so episodes in a similar way to Detective Conan/Case Closed (except better than that).
