I remember my sister telling me about Gintama once but that was before I even understand what anime was. I'll make it my mission to watch at least the first episode before the end of tomorrow! Thanks for the super solid recomendation! No worries! And a little warning, start with the third episode, as the first two are filler episodes made for those who've already read the manga. The series doesn't hit its stride straight away, but because of its episodic nature, you can feel free to watch any amount of episodes at a time, be it two in a week or twenty in a day.

Also, there's lots of references to anime/manga/culture.

Hopefully you enjoy it! While JoJo is my favourite manga, I'd say Gintama is my favourite anime.
