Personal ratings:
-----------------------
Season 1: 5. Funnier in the second half. Best season characterwise.
Season 2: 6. Funnier in the first half.
Season 3: 7. BUT Not enough comedy, far too many melodramatic story arcs revolving around nobodies.
Season 4: 7.
Season 5:
Possible yaoi pairings:
-----------------------
*Katsura x Gintoki (uke x unrequited love).
*Gintoki x Zenzou (He's always shoving something up that guy's ass).
*Gintoki x Shinpachi. (Like a married couple with a daughter).
*Gintoki & Taizo. (Would be more popular if Taizo didn't long for his his ex wife).
*Hijikata & Gintoki. (Zero chemistry, yet is the most popular pairing).
*Okita x Hijikata. (In a "Hey Arnold" sorta way, plus Okita is VERY seme despite being short).
*Okita & Hijikata x Kondou. (Two rivals, one tall buff oblivious uke).
*Tatsuma x Zurako, Paako, & Pachie (That'd be Katsura, Gintoki, 7 Shinpachi in drag).
*Shinsuke x Katsura x Gintoki (Shinsuke likes Katsura & hates Gintoki because Katsura likes him).
*Kamui x Gintoki (If Gintoki is Gon from Hunter x Hunter, then Kamui is Hisoka).
Pairings I don't approve of are all hetero of course. I resent the idea that men & women can't be "just friends" or "just rivals."
--------------------------------------------------
*Okita x Kagura: First of all, they're incompatible because they're both sadists & sadists need masochists. Secondly Kagura is 14 & Okita is an adult. Thirdly Okita's rivalry with Hijikata has something to do with Kondou. Okita might also be turned off by her poor hygiene & the fact that she's a tomboy. They're not flirting; they're trying to one-up eachother.
*Gintoki x Kagura: He's like her foster father, but they have strong "sibling vibes." When they're not fighting, she's usually imitating his behavior. Lastly, they're 9 years apart in age. Did I mention she was a minor?
*Gintoki x Sarutobi: He's just flat out uninterested in her. She's a sadomasochistic dominatrix, he's celibate. Gintoki is the "look but don't touch" type of guy when it comes to women. He even managed to look bored looking at nude magazines.
*Gintoki x Otae: Kondou is better Otae because he's a masochist & she's a sadist. Gintoki is neither & he's afraid of Otae.
*Katsura x any woman. Look at him; he looks natural in drag & weird in western men's clothes. He has a better chance snagging a lesbian.
*Kamui x Kagura: Heterosexual incest is illegal pretty much everywhere, Kagura genuinely dislikes her brother, & why would she want a man who's nearly identical to herself, let alone one who can't make her happy?
Hetero or yuri pairings that would work.
*Otae x Kondou.
*Otae x Sarutobi.
*Okita x Sarutobi.
*Sarutobi x Kondou (reversible).
*Hijikata x Tsukuyo.
*Kyuubei x Otae. (Canon, & who DOESN'T support it?)

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Almost all of the women in this series are flat-chested & have the same facial design as the men, so they're not particularly feminine-looking. They're often seen in shorts, pants, or kimono that completely cover their legs.
1)Kagura: A 14 year-old Hercules who is completely unfeminine & has absolutely no manners. She has a daughterly-sisterly sorta friendship with Gintoki. She has a massive appetite & her favorite food is pickled nori. She tends to ape Gintoki alot.
2)Otae: Queen of Tsunderes. Her default mode calm & sweet, but she has a quick temper, too quick. She's extremely aggressive & violent, even to family & friends, but her actions are rarely backed with ill will, meaning that making her genuinely angry could be fatal.
3)Sarutobi: A sadomasochist with poor vision, selective hearing, & an S&M bondage fetish. Enjoys being tied up & yelled at, but also enjoys chaining men up & whipping them.
4)Otose: Gintoki's elderly chain-smoking landlady who owns the bar/snack shop downstairs. She's a no-nonsense person, but she's considerate of others.
5)Catherine: A former cat bugler with an unattractive face & a distinct accent. She enjoys ruffling other people's feathers.
6)Elizabeth: A giant white penguin that is actually an old fat man in a costume. He's the director of the anime as well as Katsura's pet.
7)Otsuu: A pop idol who seems to suffer from Coprolalia BIG time, apparent in both her music & the way she ends her sentences.
8)Mutsu: She dresses like a man, she talks like a man, she looks like a man, she acts like a man.
