Additionally, the series saw its first live-action adaptation film, Gintama (2017), which adapted the Benizakura arc.
#KAMUI GINTAMA MOVIE#
The first movie is a retelling of the Benizakura arc, the second movie is an original story involving Gin jumping forward 5 years to a changed Edo, and the compilation movies recap the Shinsengumi Crisis and Four Devas arcs. The series had two anime movie adaptations and one compilation movie series. This ran in GIGA from December 2018 to February 2019 before moving to its own app, where it finally concluded in June 2019. When the series concluded its run in Weekly Shonen Jump in September 2018, the characters announced (in series, in fact) that the final arc would be wrapping up in Shonen Jump GIGA. The next big and final arc, "Silver Soul", was partly adapted and aired as split cours from January to October 2018 according to Gintoki in the final episode, this season was meant to be the anime finale but failed due to Sorachi needing more time to wrap things up in the manga at the time. A new series titled "Porori Arc" started airing in October 2017, this time covering the comedic and less plot-heavy chapters that were originally skipped in Gintama°'s run. (yes, period included) aired from January 9 - March 27 2017, with another series dedicated to reruns called Yorinuke Gintama airing the following week.

This series ended in March 2016, with the last episode teasing viewers with a screenshot from the next arc, implying another anime is already in the works. Unsurprisingly, Sunrise opted out of producing it, and were replaced by Bandai Namco Entertainment's newly-formed animation branch, BNPictures. That show ran until March 2012, only to return in October of the same year as Gintama': Enchousen, which concluded in March 2013.Ī third series, Gintama° (note the circle), was announced and began airing in April 2015. Eventually the re-runs came to an end and, in April 2011, the series returned with Gintama' (note the dash).
#KAMUI GINTAMA TV#
A TV series produced by Sunrise made its debut in April 2006 and concluded in March 2010, followed by Yorinuki Gintama-san (literally "The Very Best of Gintama"), which was re-runs of old episodes remastered in HD with new opening and ending themes. Stories tend to emphasize no such thing as black and white and how that plays into the Japanese concept of honor.Īfter the manga premiered in December 2003, a one-episode OVA was produced for JUMP Festa. However, despite the historical connotations that the Edo period brings, it's a Gag Series in one of its most warped states, filled with Shout Outs to everything under the sun (even fellow Shonen Jump series such as Bleach and One Piece are not immune to lampooning), over-the-top humour, ridiculous puns, sight gags and a liberal dash of action to top it all off.

Gintama is the oft-anachronistic brainchild of Hideaki Sorachi, who had originally intended to create a manga inspired by an NHK drama about The Shinsengumi. Joining him in his exploits are samurai-in-training Shinpachi Shimura, who winds up taking the brunt of much of the series' abuse and leads a pop idol fanclub Kagura, a young alien girl who spends most of the time eating, beating someone up, or just generally being an idiot and Sadaharu, Kagura's giant pet dog that gleefully chomps on everyone and anyone. Nowadays, Gintoki makes his living as a self-appointed freelancer, taking on any job he can for cash to pay his rent, but that doesn't seem to happen very often when there's sweets and Shonen Jump to be had.
