Gintama is a gag manga. Maybe it's not appealing enough for the western market(USA). Perhaps the same could be said with onepiece.
Naruto on the other hand has similiar formula with db and the other factor.

 

Gintama also has a lot of references/jokes about many Japanese cultural icons from manga/anime to actual historical figures . It helps that translators do try to explain most of them , but it is still difficult to catch all the jokes if you are not familiar with Japan . They even say themselves in the anime that is hard for Japanese fans to get all Gintama jokes  , let alone  the western fans .

 

On topic : Naruto still sucks

That's wonderful! They should do a live-action TV series following Sasuke's daily life.........

Hanji the androgynous? Let me guess, s/he will play by an actress.
Why not levy? I think Japanese could play him. If I'm mistaken he's one of the most popular character right?

Well, this live action allow the anime to have quality of 12/24 episode per season unlike (on topic) naruto.

Lol, yeah.

Yeah  agree  with you here , Its the Chunin exams that made Naruto appealing to most and P2 beginning was ok  but then all falls down after Sasuke chase party  .

 

Yeah Those three dorks are perfect like real family their bond is so good XD . Not like Team Dysfunctional  . There is not a single character I hate in Gintama everyone are given the right amount of focus  Sorachi outclasses Kishimoto in everything characters , themes , bonds , build up , fights  when things go serious in Gintama then you know its the kitten  and Sorachi does it perfectly XD .  Yeah trust me you can't go wrong in here with whatever you chose  manga or anime  , but the anime is much better it does total justice to the original work the manga IMO XD .    

I've had the feeling that this anime is quite driven a lot by sarcasm and humor XD It's definitely an interesting trio, I'm seeing there.

I'll see what I'll do XD I hate catching up with superlong animes, that's all.

They're desperate so they will do this to try and bring more fans

Good luck with that.
Oh why don't they add Bishonen fanservice and perhaps some homoerotic to appeal the target audience.

By any means necessary They can't let Naruto die, because what about their hime

All hail Hinata hime-sama.

What if Kishi left instead of Yahagi? Wonder how the Manga will end?

Satisfying at least.

LOL yeah every episode literary leaves you  rolling on the floor      . Yeah that's ok do whatever suits you XD.

I think we would have gotten the ending we wanted.

The art wouldn't have been as good as it usually is, but in terms of story it would've been better from start to finish. I think the best possible person if Kishi walked out is for his younger brother to step in to takeover Naruto. That's my personal opinion.

After OPM, I'm totally fine with story saving bad arts. Not the other way around.

Very true. 

[Konoha'sCrimsonFox]

Wow, is it true that some Japanese fans are very disappointing in SJ for joining SP in with the the interview and publishing it in the Jump magazines and they may be too displease to purchase the weekly Jump issue?

 

Oh how many people want someone to just blow Konoha up? Killing everyone that lives there lol, that would be good.

[TouKen4Life3g]

Well, SJ does have other series you know. I don't think they can ignore them. If anything, I'll probably buy it and rip the spin-off pages off.

[rikakim94]

Apparently some nh fans think the final volume of naruto sold up to one million for week. Therefore its considered to be a major success can someone debunk this argument?

Yahagi is just an editor, while he helped Kishi a lot it was ultimately Kishi who made the story so I think the story would collapse.
