Today I learned (TIL)

At least watch them later then. :l 1 and 2 are filler of the worst kind that give a poor first impression and, even worse, spoil a ton of characters before they're properly introduced. .-.

I’ve just searched the name and it has a million entries, what do I watch first? The one with 200 episodes from 2006?

Yes. Also, I quite admire the fact you actually want to start something as huge as Gintama if you consider yourself a completionist. o: That show is amazing, but getting somebody to watch it is really hard given how long it is.

I agree . . but It's fun . . .

There's a reason I've hardly ever reccomended Gintama. It's long as fuck and took me about 50 episodes to start enjoying, despite it being a top 10 anime. Hopefully it goes better for @hell0emi

It's a hard sell, yeah. For me personally, it's episode 7, Prince Baka's introduction, where the show starts to find its groove though.

Guys, the more you get to know me, the more you’ll realise I’m clearly some sort of weirdo masochist - I’ll be starting Gintama this week now :’)

This makes me happy. If the humour is to your liking, you're in for one hell of a ride.

Explains why I couldn’t get into it after giving it just one episode!
I’d say I’d start but let’s face it. I’m in a reading groove right now and anime will come back to the forefront at a later date.

Give me a couple months to complete the first 200 episodes. I’m ready :’)

Yeah, that's why I warn people every opportunity I get.

Can understand not starting though. I highly recommend it, but I can hardly blame anyone who won't.

TIL: Rabbits and hares can't breed due to the former having 44 chromosomes and the latter having 48 chromosomes.

Also the Atlas Blue butterfly (Polyommatus atlantica) has 452 chromosomes:

And the protozoa Oxytricha trifallax has 16,000 chromosomes:

TIL: (technically yesterday but)
During Ted Bundy's court trial, police discussed with him about a bite mark they found on one of the victim's bodies and they wanted to compare the bite mark to his teeth. Ted was all like: "I don't wanna." So they filed the first and only ever search warrant for someone's mouth.

Rather than overturn the laws of nature in some hideous Frankenstein experiment that can only spell the inevitable death of humanity at our own hands, you mean?
