About the Gintama universe
Gintama, Sorachi's popular science-fiction period-drama comedy manga, debuted in 2003 and ended in 2019 with more than 55 million copies in circulation. The popular manga has inspired various anime television series, live-action films, video games, event anime, and anime films. The first 23 volumes of the popular manga were also published in English. One Gintama film even holds the distinction of being the highest-rated anime on MyAnimeList.
Gintama revolves around Gintoki Sakata and is set in an alternate-history late-Edo period where aliens called “Amanto” invade Earth and the samurai of Japan defend their homeland against invaders but fail. A contract is then established that bans the public usage of swords and allows the alien invaders to enter the country. Apart from the spin-off adaptation of 3-Nen Z-Gumi Ginpachi-Sensei, expect several new Gintama projects to be unveiled by 2026 to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the popular Gintama anime series.
