#Gintama anime series
Eventually the re-runs came to an end and, in April 2011, the series returned with Gintama' (note the dash). 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.
