Gintama!!

[Mailman]

Has anyone else seen this awesome anime? It is really funny, definitely my favourite anime and maybe even my favourite show. I heard it is really popular in Japan but unfortunately hardly any english speaking people seem to watch it. There is only one group subbing it... Its really annoying because although they make very good quality subs, they take quite a while to release them.
Well anyway, has anyone heard of this anime or seen it?

Can't say I have, always willing to try new stuff though. Gimme a run-down of what it's about and I might check it out

I say the same as Sticky. Gimme some info, and I might give it a try.

Ok, the basic idea is that Edo (old Tokyo) has been taken over by aliens called Amanto. The Samurai have fallen and the Amanto have banned carrying swords in public. The show focuses around the antics of Gintoki; a samurai with a natural perm and a love for Shonen Jump and sweets, Shinpachi; a boy who is apprenticed to Gintoki to learn the ways of the samurai, and Kagura; an alien girl with incredible strength. Gintoki lives with Shinpachi and Kagura and they run a business and they will do anything to get payed. It is a very funny show.

I just realised that I have no idea where you could download episodes 1-20...

My friend just told me about a site with Gintama direct downloads! If anyone decides to get Gintama (I recommend you do), go here http://www.lolipower.org/ then click on DDL #3 in the top menu bar thing, then scroll down and click on Gintama. It has episodes 1-24. To get the other ones which have been subbed you can go to http://rumbel-subs.com/rumbel_DDL.php which has episodes 21-47 for direct download.
