The official Twitter account of the Gintama anime series announced a new anime special on Saturday. The special episode will debut exclusively on NTT Docomo's dTV streaming platform in early 2021.

The announcement commemorates one year anniversary of the manga's final chapter. The special will be related to the third anime film (teaser visual pictured right), which is also scheduled for an early 2021 release.

Hideaki Sorachi began serializing the adventure comedy manga in 2003 and ended it in Weekly Shounen Jump in September 2018. The manga subsequently switched to Jump GIGA for three consecutive issues before making another transfer to the official Gintama application and concluding on June 20 last year. Shueisha shipped the 77th and final volume last August.

Sunrise produced a special episode that was featured at the Jump Festa Anime Tour in September 2005. The first anime season debuted in Spring 2006 and ran for 201 episodes until Winter 2010, which was followed by six more seasons between 2011 and 2018. The manga also received two anime films that premiered in 2010 and 2013, among several original video anime episodes.

A live-action film produced by Warner Bros. Pictures screened in Japan in July 2017, grossing over 4.6 billion yen. A sequel film premiered in August 2018. The first film screened in the United States and Canada in January 2018, and was subsequently released on Blu-ray and DVD in March of the same year.

Sentai Filmworks distributed the first 49 episodes and the first anime film from 2010 to 2012 on DVD and Blu-ray, respectively. Crunchyroll re-licensed the anime series and released episodes 266–291 through Funimation in March 2018. The second part of the release containing episodes 292–316 shipped in September 2018.

VIZ Media began publishing the series in English through its Shounen Jump Advanced imprint in 2007 before the release was discontinued with the 23rd volume in 2011. The manga has also been localized in multiple foreign languages.

Nothing more fitting than the words "All Good Things Must Come To An End".

But we gladly take whatever Gintama is given to us. One of the two anime that completely changed my outlook of life.

About damn time. I was waiting for it since the manga had already ended.


We're in the endgame now.

Oops, I thought this was connected to the last season Shirogane no Tamashii-hen. But, might as well take it.

The first rule to watch Gintama is to have no expectations. It's good from the start. I absolutely loved it from the beginning. Gintama is more or less steady. So if you want to know when this gets good, well, I don't know. If you don't get hooked from the beginning I doubt you will like the pace of this anime. But I know people who got hooked from Benizakura arc. I hope you get hooked before you hit 150 episodes. :3

wait, there's a movie too? why not adapt the last manga chapters and call it a day, bury it in the sands of time and leave it alone. The humor got stale after 300 episodes, now it's so forced I feel it in my butt

the movie is supposed to be the last of the manga chapters to my understanding.

Also, umm..... by 300 episodes I assume you mean by 2015(which I can agree with to an extent), because of course it's not gonna be very funny after episode 300, because that's the start of the Shogun Assassination Arc, and after that the series had less comedy until the Slip arc

you can never mess with a gintama fan. I am one of those few people that love gintama's comedy and dislike kinda the serious action story arcs, so that's why. And it's good new that they'll adapt the last chapters
