Anime Feature 'Gintama: The Final' Dethrones 'Demon Slayer' At Japan's Box Office. For the Demon Slayer movie, it's a case of unlucky number 13. After a record-wrecking 12-week reign at the top of the Japanese box office, it was knocked into second place this weekend by another anime title, Gintama: The Final.
With Gintama having ended, rather than just giving a shout out to all of its hilarious moments, we give credit to some of its most heart-wrenching.
If you’re looking for a show that mixes alien antics and pop culture like Gintama, look no further than Sgt. Frog. Also known as Keroro Gunsou, the series stars a squadron of frog-like aliens who have come to conquer Earth.
If anime has taught us anything, it’s that being a student with superpowers is rough. Fans of Gintama will likely also have fun with The Disastrous Life of Saiki K., which is about… exactly that. Saiki Kusuo is our protagonist, and (like the name says) he’s psychic. He’d rather just be “normal,” though, and aspires to be as average as possible.
Let’s wrap things up by going back a bit further — to Dragon Ball creator Akira Toriyama’s weird android girl manga. The series got two separate anime adaptations, each centers on inventor Senbei Norimaki and his android creation. The two, residents of Penguin Village, occasionally crop up in Toriyama’s other works as well.
There have been three films based on the franchise. The first one is Gintama: Shinyaku Benizakura-Hen (銀魂 新訳紅桜篇, lit. "Gintama: A New Retelling Benizakura Arc"), a retelling of the Benizakura arc from Gin Tama in which Kotaro Katsura is attacked by a member of the army Kiheitai, and Odd Jobs Gin start searching for him. One of the TV commercials of the film teases that the "true last scene" of the anime is in the film. It premiered on April 24, 2010, picking up US$2.118.342 on 90 screens during its first days, and earned US$12.86 million in total. Sentai Filmworks released the film in both DVD and Blu-ray format in North America on May 29, 2012, as Gintama: The Motion Picture. Manga Entertainment distributed the film in the United Kingdom while Madman Entertainment published it in Australia.
Gintama Rumble (2018) Anime and manga portal. Gin Tama (銀魂, lit. "Silver Soul") is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Hideaki Sorachi. Set in Edo, which has been conquered by aliens named Amanto, the plot follows life from the point of view of samurai Gintoki Sakata, who works as a freelancer alongside his friends Shinpachi Shimura ...
Hideaki Sorachi's main focus in Gin Tama is the use of gags; during the manga's second year of serialization, he started to add more drama to the story while still keeping the comedy. Various jokes from the manga are comments regarding clichés from other shōnen series. For example, in the first chapter, after Gintoki fights a group of aliens to protect Shinpachi and Tae, Shinpachi complains that he only fought for "one page" and Gintoki replies, "Shut up! One page is a long time for a manga artist!" Gintoki's exaggerated desire to read the Weekly Shōnen Jump (which causes him to fight other readers to get it) also makes fun of shōnen, since during those parts characters quote them. Other types of comedic situations are more general so that the reader must know about Japanese culture to understand them. The humor is described by publications as being "bizarre" and "weird". It is also described as being divided between two categories: "sci-fi comedy" and a "samurai comedy" with the former referring to the aliens. It tends to point out "an irritating foible about modern society" including celebration days or famous mythical figures. Additionally, there are references to several historical figures with a few characters from the story being based on them. Besides the series' comedy, the aliens' invasion of Japan brings several social issues between them and the humans with the most recurring one being the lack of social equality. As a result, one of the main themes involves society trying to preserve their way of living rather than fulfilling a dream like in other shōnen series.
The Gin Tama manga had 50 million volumes in print as of May 2016 and over 55 million as of February 2018. In March 2007, Shueisha announced that sales of the first volume had passed one million copies. Following volumes from the manga have also had good sales, having appeared various times in the Japanese comic ranking. The 17th volume from the manga ranked as the 10th bestseller volume from Japan during 2007. During 2008, the manga ranked as the 10th bestseller series with over 2.3 million copies sold. It also hit number 5 in Japan in the most sold manga in the first half of 2009 list, selling over 2.7 million volumes from November 17, 2008, to May 17, 2009.
The DVD from the Gin Tama OVAs became the top-selling OVA in Japan in 2009, having sold 61,226 units after two weeks of being released. In the Oricon survey "2009's Top-Selling DVDs in Japan", the same DVD ranked at the top of the category "Animation/Special Effects DVDs" with a total of 76,000 units sold.
Plot. See also: List of Gin Tama characters. The story is set in an alternate-history late- Edo period, where humanity is attacked by aliens called "Amanto" (天人, "Sky People"). Edo Japan's samurai fights to defend Earth, but the shōgun cowardly surrenders when he realizes the aliens' power.
Shueisha has been collecting the chapters in tankōbon volumes with the first being published on April 2, 2004. The series ended with its 77th volume, published on August 2, 2019. Viz Media licensed Gin Tama for publication in North America.
While stories like the battle to be Santa Claus or Hasegawa's trial are clearly and wholeheartedly written by Sorachi, the Gintama anime has developed plenty of classic content on its own.
Set in a version of feudal Japan that was invaded by aliens, Gintama has spent a good portion of its career parodying the shonen genre, the otaku community, and its various other contemporaries in manga and fiction.
One of the most obvious reasons why Gintama can keep moving forward despite its next film being called "The Final" is because of the advantages of its format. As a comedy series, Gintama isn't prone to the same linearity and world-building restrictions of its peers.
This includes Odd Jobs and friends struggling to make sushi, Hijikata's parody of Will Wonka with mayonnaise, and the last "final" film, Gintama: The Movie: The Final Chapter: Be Forever Yorozuya, albeit that one was written by Hideaki Sorachi himself.
While the magazine is never short on new series, it really could use some time tested content after the successive losses of several others. Given the chance, Gintama could very well be the franchise to save Shonen Jump or, at least, help it out during a seemingly dry period.
While the Silver Soul Arc 's harsher tone and action-packed narrative is very distant from the series' classic, juvenile comedy, it may very well be the perfect finale for the series as a whole. For most of its run, Gintama has had moments of backstory, world-building, and sincere action sprinkled across the story, yet those elements rarely had any payoff, leaving many to even question if Hideaki Sorachi just forgot about them.
As the story ventured into its Silver Soul Arc, it became evident that the series would be ending soon as it enveloped a more serious tone and various loose ends in its narrative began getting tied up. The arc now looks to see its conclusion in the upcoming film, Gintama The Final.
In Gintama, each season is linked to the next one. Thus, after the end of one Gintama, the following story begins in another season. Although each season has a new story and sometimes a previous one, it is linked to the last. As a result, the correct order to watch the series is proper to follow.
Gintama is one of the best comedy anime in the world. There was one time I had Gintama as a comedy anime recommendation to watch, so I gave it a try, and surprisingly while watching it, I wanted to see its end no matter how long it was going to take. Creatively the anime switches from light-hearted comedy funny moments to an intense battle.
You need to watch Gintama in order. If you don’t watch it in the order, you will miss the introduction of some characters and some critical pieces of information from the earlier episodes. But, as I said before, you can start from episode 3.
Gintama: The Final is the end of the anime series released in early 2021. However, no one knows if the anime is going to continue later in the coming years.

In 2003, Hideaki Sorachi was an up-and-coming manga artist who had already created two one-shots for the Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine. Although he was preparing to write his first serialized series, his editor suggested he create a manga series based on the Shinsengumi, mostly inspired by an upcoming TV drama about the 1860s troupe as depicted by idol actors.
