 The cover of the upcoming 43rd issue of Weekly Shounen Jump has revealed that a new TV season for the Gintama franchise is planned. It also mentions that the manga is in its final climax. The magazine will be released on September 26, 2016.Hideaki Sorachi's manga Gintama began publication in Weekly Shounen Jump in December 2003, and its 65th volume was just released on August 4. Japan's Yearly Manga Rankings placed Gintama at 17th for the first half of 2016, selling 1,468,890 copies. Gintama received its first TV anime series in Spring 2006, and then three following TV anime adaptations, for a total of 316 episodes. Various movies, OVA episodes, and specials have also been produced for the franchise. A live-action adaptation was recently announced, and is slated to release in 2017.

My "K"intama are ready, hopefully the wait till the manga is finished and then adapt the final arc completely... Prepare ya Butts...the next(again lol) 9+ rated anime on MAL incoming (goodbye "Kimi no Na wa".)  |
I remember hearing about a "special announcement" and it's not surprising that this is it. I REALLY need to get around to watching Gintama now..... This will probably become the new #1 on MAL lol. "MAPPA is saving anime. I have spoken." -Hayao Miyazaki, 2020 (source: dude trust me lol) |
wasn't he planing on finishing the manga soon ? and those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music |
Oh boy, here we go again. I can't wait for the shitstorms.  |
So excited but at the same time a little sad knowing this is probably the last time Gintama will be animated. |
And I just finished the recent season last week! I love Kagura, she's freaking awesome. Hi |
Thank the heavens!!! This is the news I've been waiting for, I literally just jumped out of bed and did a cartwheel! Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
My life will finally be complete. This is the best piece of news I've probably ever heard. rip Kimi no Na wa's first place..  |
I'm so happy ^^ I should watch the prequel before this anime start :) lol I don't know why people always care about the score in MAL! |
Say your prayers, Kimi no na wa.  |
Thank you Bandai Namco Pictures. Hype is real  |
I hope the Gintama will dethroned Kimi no na wa. |
Hell Yeah, Awesome news. XD I'll be rooting for Gintama #1.  |
Sayonara Kimi no na wa, Hello Yorozuya  |
I hope they'll adapt Katsura and Ikumatsu arc. |
oh my god, i'm so excited!! this made my day, honestly. can't wait!! |
Hopefully they'll adapt all the way to the end of the manga this time Not that I see any reason why they wouldn't at this point given where the manga is at atm  A cuddle a day keeps the pouting away~ "Holding hands is just the first step to getting pregnant"  |
Animated Gintama is a joyous occasion for me because there is nothing quite like hearing that glorious voice cast. |
Great news, I've been waiting for this. |
I'm looking forward to this and wondering if it's going to be its final season. |
First thing I read this morning^^ Great to have more Gintama soon *__*  |
You know, I do feel like watching this, but the sheer number of episodes puts me off a bit... How's the dub? The release of atomic energy has not created a new problem. It has merely made more urgent the necessity of solving an existing one. - Albert Einstein |

It was announced recently but I bet it'll be shit since the VAs in Gintama are unrivaled. As for the news, why did Sorachi call it surprising? Like we fans ever though it wouldn't get a new season xD Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
This will probably be the last season of Gintama...  |
Btw the cover looks badass. Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
I've been reborn from the ashes |
I'm ready for the "all those Gintama TV seasons should be forged into one" or "Gintama is overrated" threads. Anyways, this is brilliant. So hyped for Joui4, even if it's really sad that it's ending, just give us Gintama Z or something (but not GT, pls not.). Hope the skipped comedy arcs will be animated into OVA's like Aizome Kaori btw.  |
Great news to start the day with~ Tho I hope it won't be the last season... 3:  |
Rachmaninow said: You know, I do feel like watching this, but the sheer number of episodes puts me off a bit... How's the dub? One of the great things of Gintama, is that their voice actors are brilliant. I feel like it would be hard for English voice actors to even come near that level. I suggest just try to watch an episode or 2, 3, 50 a week. It will take a while for the new season to come anyway. |
Btw everyone, the recent manga arc has an official title now. It's called the Silver Soul arc. Very appropriate if you ask me. |
Happy that it'll get an anime continuation, but this may very well be the last one that'll adapt up to the end of the manga. RIP Kimi no na wa, you were good while it lasted :3 It'll be amazing if they adapt the skipped comedy arcs though :D Modified by GoldenDevilGamer, Sep 21, 2016 5:00 AM  |
yea gintama is coming back, great news for gintama fans  |
Hell yeah, now my goal of gintama taking first top 10 places is one step closer. |
 I can't wait! *.* Body is ready! Bring it on!   |
AKA "Another Gintama season going straight to the top 10"  Nico- said: @Comic_Sans oh no y arnt ppl dieing i need more ppl dieing rly gud plot avansement jus liek tokyo ghoul if erbudy dies amirite Salman bin Abdul Aziz said: @Comic_Sans I hate to insult you on forums but you are just a troll so just go kill yourself already bitch |
Why did they even call it "surprising news that would even surpass the movie announcement"? Baiting Japanese fans much? I don't see anyone here surprised. I expected something else tbh.  |
Awesome news, can't wait for it. "At some point, I stopped hoping." |
Hyped as hell for this, now I just hope it'll get the animation it deserves!  |
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIS!!! |
Hell yea another gintama gonna be ranked in the top 10 <3   |
AMAAAAZING News but certainly not surprising but why are most of you so Riled up about the top rankings with Kimi no na wa. A movie against a long running manga & anime series "You can't spell slaughter without laughter". |
I'm not so excited, because I think that was obvious. Naisu, anyway. This season will be pure action. I need a OVA season with the skipped humor arcs. :(  |
Great ~ Hopefully, the animation quality will be at level. |
More Gintama is always great, especially considering this will probably be the last season. Still, I'm hoping budget will be better than the previous one... 5 main aspects I base my ratings on: 1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it? 2. Is it better than Breaking Bad? 3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it? 4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL? 5. Is it actually good? Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant... |
Gotta finish some anime and start watching more of gintama, Can't wait!  |
Hell yeah xd I was a little worried that the series would not be able to get another season because the manga is literally ending xd But now the series will be able to have a real ending both in the manga and anime version, something that not many shounen series have manage to achive (cry) But it's surprising that they announced it this early when it's been hardly a half year since it ended xd Guess I really underastimated the popularity of the show xd Now the big question is if this final season will contain just the serious arcs or maybe also some of the skipped ones and when the actual show will actually air... How I love a game |
