i almost missed a gintama thread...
ok, so about the anime vs. manga, i myself am also a hardcore manga-supporter, but in the case of gintama the anime is true to the original. it does have fillers but a) they are not bleach/naruto/etc. styled nonsensical buggery that lasts for centuries, rather a one-shot of randomness that's very much in the general gintama spirit. and b) they're FUCKING GOOD! yes, that's right, the FILLERS ARE GOOD!
i wouldn't go as far as saying that the anime is better than the manga, the manga loses a lot in translation (a lot more than the anime in any case) so if you can't read japanese, better to start with the anime and see how it goes from there. also, big plus for anime are the voice actors.
as for the humour part, well, gintama is a gag manga in its basis but unlike (what little i've seen-read of) reborn which was too infantile for me, the humour is evil, sexual and sometimes dark. sometimes you gotta wonder how they even let it into Jump.
