New movie version "Gintama THE FINAL" special PV:

Gintama is a popular manga created by Japanese manga artist Sorachi Hideaki. It is full of humor and has attracted countless fans. It was first serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump in 2004, and now it has been 15 years. On April 4, 2006, the TV animation of the same name adapted by Sunrise Animation began to be broadcast on Tokyo TV. As of August 2018, the cumulative circulation of Gintama's single volumes in Japan has exceeded 55 million copies.

Gintama tells the story of the invasion of aliens called "Amanto" at the end of the Edo period. The war between the earthlings and the Amanto broke out immediately, and many samurai and anti-foreign activists participated in the battle with the Amanto. After seeing the powerful strength of the Amanto, the shogunate signed an unequal treaty with the Amanto without authorization and allowed them to enter the country. Later, it issued a "sword ban order" and took away the samurai's swords. Since then, the Amanto has been rampant and the shogunate has become a "puppet regime." In such an era, there was a samurai who lived a whimsical life happily with his companions.

There are two theatrical versions of "Gintama" that have been released. The first one is "Gintama: The New Benizakura Arc", and the second one is "Gintama: The Final Chapter: The Eternal Yorozuya". The new theatrical version "Gintama THE FINAL" has been confirmed to be released on January 8, 2021, so stay tuned.
