The fifth and latest Gintama television anime series premiered on January 8, the show began airing reruns in April.
The official website for the live-action film of the Gintama manga announced on Tuesday that the rock band UVERworld (Blue Exorcist, The Heroic Legend of Arslan) is performing the theme song.
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 manga inspired a television anime that premiered in 2006 and continued (with several extended hiatuses) until 2013.
