Comic Natalie and other websites posted on-set photographs from the live-action film of the Gintama manga on Wednesday.
The manga inspired a television anime that premiered in 2006 and continued (with several extended hiatuses) until 2013.
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 fifth and latest Gintama. television anime series premiered on January 8, and the most recent episode teased on Sunday that the next episode will have an important announcement.
