The Gintama Shirogane Matsuri 2019 (Kari) event announced production for a new anime for the Gintama franchise on Sunday. The format of the new anime was not revealed.

Gintama is based on Hideaki Sorachi's manga of the same name. It has been serialized in Weekly Shounen Jump magazine since December 2003. Shueisha published the 76th volume on January 4.

The manga has received multiple anime adaptations since 2006, with Sunrise helming the first three anime seasons and Bandai Namco Pictures producing the rest. A live-action movie premiered last July. A second movie is planned for an August screening.

I'm happy for Gin Tama fans. Not many franchises get releases this frequently.

More fun with the Yorozuya is always welcome.

I don't know how far Sorachi can take his story, but I hope for more laughs with Gintama.

I hope that they name it, Gintama Final : End of Sky. XD

nice, i'm glad that the manga just moved platforms because a rushed ending for a series like this wouldn't do it any justice.
i'd be happy if this just kept going.

More Gintama is always a blessing. I salute Sorachi for not ending the manga and didn't succumb to tight schedule . This series deserves proper ending.

If they are no longer in the dark of how much there is to adapt then they will hopefully have more focus at the very least.

Its a damn shame production had to harm the show's final outings when up till now the anime was so much better than the source

The anime is way weaker than the manga, which of course is writen by Sorachi and the anime only exists because of it.

I don't see how just because anime exists because of the source make the source automatically become better.

Hey guys. According to news sources from Jump. Gintama is going to end in 2103. But even in 2103 a sequel will still be made.

YEAHHHHHHHHH BOIIIIIIIIII.

I don't think Gintama can ever look nearly as good as the 2015 season anymore since many of Gintama's animators moved on to other stuff, or aren't animating in general. Almost all of the good animation cuts from the last two seasons were done by one person (Sasaki Youhei).

The fourth-wall breaking segment at the end of the last episode did mention that the studio had a tiny budget and a tight schedule for the final arc. I doubt the budget issue will get fixed up, but maybe they might have a more fortunate schedule.

The anime is way weaker than the manga, which of course is writen by Sorachi and the anime only exists because of it.

I thought it already ended lol. Gintama always has some surprises up its sleeves.
