Gintama's humor relies heavily on Japanese cultural references and wordplay, which can fly over the heads of non-Japanese speakers. It's pure comedy gold if you get it, though!

Maybe it's because people just haven't seen it yet! Anime fandom in the US is growing, so there's still hope.

I think it’s because Gintama's mix of comedy and serious storylines can be confusing for some viewers. But once you get used to it, you’re hooked!
