The latest Gintama television anime series premiered in April 2015, and ended in March.
The first 2017 issue of Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine is revealing the theme song artists for the new television anime for Gintama on Monday.
The manga inspired a television anime that premiered in 2006 and continued (with several extended hiatuses) until 2013.
The new series will switch to a late night timeslot, and will premiere on TV Tokyo, TV Hokkaido, TV Aichi, TV Setouchi, and TVQ Kyushu Broadcasting on January 9 at 1:35 a.m., and then will premiere on TV Osaka on January 10 at 1:05 a.m. The previous Gintama anime series aired on TV Tokyo and its affiliate stations at 6:00 p.m. Hideaki Sorachi began the original manga in 2004 and it continues to be ranked among the top-selling manga in Japan.
