Gintama (銀魂; lit. 'Silver Soul') is a Japanese anime television series based on Hideaki Sorachi's manga series Gintama. Produced by Sunrise, the series aired for 201 episodes on TV Tokyo and its affiliates from April 4, 2006, to March 25, 2010. A second 64-episode series, titled Gintama', aired from April 4, 2011, to March 28, 2013. A third 51-episode series, produced by Bandai Namco Pictures after its copyright was transferred from Sunrise in 2015, titled Gintama°, aired from April 8, 2015, to March 30, 2016, and a final 51-episode series, titled Gintama., aired from October 9, 2017, to October 8, 2018. Three films have been released: Gintama: The Movie (2010), Gintama: The Movie: The Final Chapter: Be Forever Yorozuya (2013), and Gintama: The Very Final (2021); the last one continues and concludes the events of the television series.

Plot

The story is set in an alternate-history late-Edo period, where humanity is attacked by aliens called "Amanto" (天人; 'Sky People'). Edo Japan's samurai fight to defend Earth, but the shogun cowardly surrenders when he realizes the aliens' power. He agrees to an unequal contract with the aliens, ceding power to them, and also places a ban on carrying swords in public and allows the invaders to enter the country. The samurai's swords are confiscated and the Tokugawa bakufu (shogunate) becomes a puppet government.

The series focuses on an eccentric samurai, Gintoki Sakata who works as an odd-jobs freelancer. He helps a teenager named Shinpachi Shimura save his sister Tae from an Amanto group that wants to send her to a brothel. Impressed by Gintoki, Shinpachi becomes his freelance apprentice to pay the bills and learn more about the enigmatic samurai. When the pair rescues a teenage alien girl with super-strength, Kagura, from a Yakuza group, they accept her into their odd-jobs freelancing business, and the three become known as "Yorozuya" (万事屋; 'Store of 10,000 business' or 'We do everything').

While working, they regularly encounter the Shinsengumi police force, who often ally with Gintoki when work involves dangerous criminals. The trio also meets Gintoki's former comrades from the Amanto invasion, including the revolutionary Kotaro Katsura who is friendly toward them despite his terrorist activities against the alien-controlled government.

The story is a balance between episodic and shorter arc based plotlines that resolve quickly, and a rich background plot that develops from its beginning to end.[5] For example, Gintoki's former comrade Shinsuke Takasugi is a major antagonist who regards Gintoki and his other former comrades as enemies and seeks to destroy the shogunate. Over time, Takasugi gains allies, including Kagura's brother Kamui, and the elite fighting unit Mimawarigumi to prepare for his large-scale coup d'état. After the true antagonist—the immortal Utsuro—is introduced, Gintoki works with both friends and enemies to stop Utsuro from destroying the Earth.

Reception

Gintama has been featured several times in the Japanese TV ranking,[78][79] with the first two episodes having a rating of 5.6.[80] DVD sales of the series have also been featured in the Japanese anime DVD ranking various times,[81][82] while the third DVD of season 3 ranked ninth in the Japanese Amazon.com Top Ten list of best sellers DVDs of 2008.[83] In August 2008, TV Tokyo announced that Gintama and Naruto "contributed to robust sales of overseas rights in the last fiscal year which ended in March."[84] In a poll from Puff, Gintama won in the "Best Animation" category.[85] The DVD of the Gintama OVAs became the top-selling OVA in Japan in 2009, having sold 61,226 units two weeks after release.[86] In the Oricon survey "2009's Top-Selling DVDs in Japan", the same DVD topped the "Animation/Special Effects DVDs" category with a total of 76,000 units sold.[87] The CD soundtrack Gintama The Best received the "Animation Album of the Year" award from the Kinema Junpo's DVD Navigator Japanese magazine.[88]

Gintama has received both positive and mixed responses. Although the humor was noted to have improved after the series' introduction, some jokes were difficult for reviewers to understand due to their roots in Japanese culture and references to other series.[89] The notes on the DVD releases were criticized for lacking explanations of cultural jokes.[90] Additionally, critics stated that the quality of the humor is inconsistent across the first episodes, with some scenes being so deep that some viewers may abandon the series.[91][90] The quality of the series was found to improve as the series continued, as viewers would not be intimidated by its large number of episodes.[91] The characters were praised due to their knowledge that their tendencies "break the fourth wall",[89] while the female characters were found appealing based on their unusual qualities.[91] The series has been noted for its ability to shift between comedy and drama without a loss of quality.[92]

Controversy

Episode 232 of the anime series featured a negative portrayal of a character parodying a particular politician: the then Minister for Government Revitalisation, Renhō Murata. This resulted in the rerun of the episode being cancelled on AT-X.[93] Series supervisor Shinji Takamatsu explained that TV Tokyo canceled the rerun on its own. Renhō's representative denied having objected to the episode, although a report from the newspaper Mainichi Shimbun stated the affected party contacted TV Tokyo.[94] When the story arc the episode belonged to was completed, Takamatsu expressed doubts concerning the arc's release in DVD format.[95]
