The fifth and latest Gintama television anime series premiered on January 8, and the show began airing reruns in April.
The manga also inspired two anime films, including the “final” Gekijōban Gintama Kanketsu-hen: Yorozuya yo Eien Nare film that opened in 2013, and various OVAs and event anime.
The film will open in Japan on July 14.
The manga inspired a television anime that premiered in 2006 and continued (with several extended hiatuses) until 2013.
