In 2008 Gintama was featured in two Oricon surveys; it ranked at the top as "funniest manga" and fifth in "most interesting manga".[149][150] In another survey from 2009, it was listed as the sixth choice for what manga could be adapted into a live-action film.[151] In a poll from Zassosha's Puff Japanese manga magazine, Gintama was second in the category "Best Long Stories".[152] Fuji News Network has cited Gintama as one of the anime responsible for the wooden swords' popularity during 2008 as Hokkaido's retailers have experienced brisk sales in wooden swords to foreigners.[153] On TV Asahi's Manga Sōsenkyo 2021 poll, in which 150,000 people voted for their top 100 manga series, Gintama ranked twelfth.[154][155]

The anime adaptation of Gintama has received positive and mixed responses. The humor was noted to be improved after the series' introduction although some jokes were hard to understand because some of them are references to Japanese culture and other series.[178] The notes on the DVD releases were criticized for lacking an explanation of cultural jokes.[179] Additionally, the humor's quality was found to be inconsistent within the first episodes due to the depth some bring,[180] to the point that some viewers may abandon the series.[179] The quality of the series was found to improve as the series continues as people would not be intimidated by its large number of episodes.[180] The characters' actions were praised due to their knowledge that their tendencies to "break the fourth wall",[178] while the female characters were found appealing based on their unusual qualities.[180] The series has been noted for its ability to shift between comedy and drama without a loss of quality.[181] Anime News Network praised the ending's gags but lamented how several of the subplot of the series were not properly closed as a result of using several characters.[182] IGN was more positive, comparing the narrative to two other popular shonen manga series Naruto and Jujutsu Kaisen for how Gintoki and his friends deal with the Shoyo and Utsuro in their final fights "distilling a major conflict into a massive good-versus-evil showdown helps it to become interesting even for those who aren't as up to date on the saga as others"-[183] Crunchyroll felt the animation felt more a Dragon Ball film rather than Gintama as a result of Toei working on it but still praised for retaining a humor and style reminiscent of the comedy Konosuba.[184] Yahoo panned the movie for being too difficult to follow unless the audience has knowledge about previous Gintama events and found some jokes did not feel appealing. Nevertheless, he praised fight scenes which would appeal to the fans of samurai series Rurouni Kenshin and Afro Samurai.[185]
At the Japanese box office, The Movie grossed 1.07 billion,[186] and The Final Chapter grossed 1.7 billion,[187] giving a total Japanese box office gross of 2.77 billion ($31 million) for both anime films.
