| AOT and MHA (and Death Note and HxH and FMAB, etc.) are just that huge that Gintama is underrated by comparison. Anime fans and non-anime fans alike know those first names, but maybe not Gintama. |
"Molly Ringwald" out right now - check my Linktree!  |
| Most people watch it thinking that it's an action anime and will loose interest after watching the first few eps as they are mainly comedy focused and aren't that funny compared to the rest of Gintama. Anime like AOT and MHA are good from the beginning and has higher appeal but Gintama isn't easy to get into as it will only get good as more episode goes by. So many viewers will loose interest and drop it before it gets good. |
| Actually people uses the wrong term usually for gintama like shows they say it's underrated but it's not we can clearly see that gintama dominating top 25 with majority. So the correct term would be underwatched or least popular shonen series. |

| "Underrated" has turned into "I like it a lot" lately. |

| You can't exactly call it underrated, I think underappreciated or just underwatched. And it's not popular so ig you can call it underrated in that sense, just like how people call odd taxi underrated. |

Underhyped nah I mean it's always on hype whenever it's sequel came out yeah those hypes aren't like AoT or other Shonens tho but yeah hype was real those time of gintama too |
| I started watching Gintama not too long ago and I think it's good. However, I'm struggling to stay invested. 353 episodes + movies is daunting. |

| I've said it as a joke before but I don't think it's underrated. I mean, it has multiple entries in the top 50. |
 |
| Gintama is most likely overrated. I only consider the first season rating to be accurate, anything after that is literally just ratings from fans. |
| There's no need for all this tension. |

I only consider the first season rating to be accurate, anything after that is literally just ratings from fans. I'm not basing this on the perceived quality of each season. Every season acts as a filter for viewers who didn't like the show or just got tired of watching it; just look at the viewer counts. It's also pretty common for multi-season shows to get higher ratings in subsequent seasons unless they just fall off. Some shows have worse follow on seasons but still get rated higher, which is why I would only consider the rating from the first season to be an accurate rating. You're not going to get viewers who want to rate Gintama a 6 in season 5. |
| There's no need for all this tension. |
| Because many people don't know how to use 'underrated' term correctly, or should i say don't know the meaning of 'underrated' itself. |

IntrigueTangiers said: Exactly. I would prefer comedy episodes over "serious" episodes any day. Serious arcs are just generic shounen arcs imho. The renowned SA/FS arcs are no exception to this.The comedy arcs are what truly made Gintama great, but there you go i guess. |
| It's not just as popular as it's other shounen counter parts |
| Only diehard fanboys say that. Gintama is actually quite overrated even though it's underwatched |

You're not going to get viewers who want to rate Gintama a 6 in season 5. I actually don't get your pov but as a fan .. I did rate all the seasons after 4 lower than the previous ones , cuz they are easily aren't the same quality... so it is not strange to find a fan who will rate based into the quality not him wanting to rate all seasons 10 .. Also yeah ofc SA , FS are generic shonen ..but It is "great" generic shonen these arcs gave some great action and made every character realistic and deep .. If you say these are generic then every shonen arc is generic, and there is no difference in quality.. Only serious Gintama make the characters as deep as they are isn't that right? Also you know bro these seasons you call fillers are the same thing we wish we had more of , s2 had better comedy Gintama ratings are high for seasons who deserve if not you could have seen ss arc rated higher Filters with a T. I'm not sure if this was supposed to be a response to what I said or not, but I'm not sure how subsequent seasons being overrated by way of viewership loss doesn't make sense. If someone didn't like a show why would they continue to watch more seasons? Gintama S1 had 860k viewers. Gintama S2 had 420k viewers. ... Gintama: The Final had 73k viewers. After the first season the viewership was cut in half and by The Final it's like 1/12th the original viewership. every season loses more viewers who either got bored or stopped liking the show. |

| They mean to say it's under appreciated, as in not mainstream, and that it deserves to be |

Gintama season 1 only has 260 scores, most of those members are PTW and people who dropped/have it on hold |
| The earlier arc were enjoyable with focus on comedy and anime references. The action scene, later on are cool, but wasn't the focus on why I love early Gintama. I consider Gintama to be borderline mainstream. |
 |
| People resume Gintama exclusively to it's anime references and comedy content, without focusing on how outstanding it's the story and character development |
 |
| Because it is super underrated. People know Naruto, One Piece, and Bleach more than Gintama. I found out about Gintama through MAL and it's become one of my all-time favorite series. |
