By format that is 8 TV series and 3 films, 368 episodes in all, roughly 150 hours of viewing. The essential run is Gintama, Gintama', Gintama: Enchousen, Gintama°, Gintama. and Gintama.: Porori-hen, plus 3 more. It is a complex watch order: the franchise branches, and the sequence below is the one that keeps the story readable. The numbered list underneath is the short version; the timeline after it gives every entry its year, episode count, essential-or-optional status and the notes that explain why.
