How Much Anime Should I Watch Before Starting Gintama?
Gintama is loaded with anime and pop culture parodies, so if you wanna get the most out of it, I'd say having Naruto, One Piece, and Bleach under your belt helps! Get ready for those epic references!

Honestly, you can start Gintama without watching any other anime first. It's a gem on its own, and you'll catch up on the references soon enough!
Forget the prep work鈥攋ust dive into Gintama. The faster you start, the quicker you'll fall in love with Gintoki and his crew.
As someone who started without much anime experience, I can confirm: Gintama is super enjoyable even without extensive prior anime knowledge. Just go for it and enjoy the ride!
