I think it's better if you know the references.  It's not as random when you know where it's coming from, but 60 episodes is better than what most people do when they say they don't like the series.  Most only try 3 or so before giving up.  It's a series where you need to commit at least to the first serious arc before knowing if it really isn't for you (which I think is roughly 30 ep in?).

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.

If you are 60 episodes in and didn't like it then its not for you. So which anime do you like?

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.
