This is a great anime. It's funny, has a lot of action but downside is that it's really slow (Every three episodes it seems they have an end of year anniversary).
Here are my thoughts as of ep227
Favorite part was an episode where Gintoki was practicing his kame-hame-ya. And favorite episode was when all the characters go to what appears to be a bar (open bar with an old man bartending) to discuss their problems; the way the characters interacted there had me rolling on the floor.
