Gintama to Receive a Full-Length Film

Finally we get to see the man with the naturally wavy hair on the giant screen.


Almost every other shonen anime shows has had a movie under their belts, yet Gintama has never had the opportunity. Good things come to those who wait, and since Gintama has been good boy this year, they will receive a full-length film in 2010 during Golden Week. This film, named Gintama: Shinyaku Benizakura-Hen (Benizakura Arc - A New Retelling) will be a retelling of the Benizakura story arc from the anime. So they are playing it safe, but as they say, don’t fix what’s not broken.

Gintama, in my mind, is the little brother of all the other famous Shonen Jump shows. Those other siblings get all the fame and attention, while Gintama does it’s best to get noticed, especially in America. Well, I’m telling you now to push aside all those other shows, and watch Gintama. It’s like the Simpsons meet Kenshin and Star Wars, with an extra helping of parody. You can watch it now at Crunchy Roll, so go get on it. I did, and I’m pissed at myself for waiting this long to watch it.

There is a US manga series drawn by Ben Dunn that kind of reminds me of the same theme. A whole miss-mash of themes pushed together. It's called "Ninja High School". It's pretty good.
 
I can never read the name Gintama without thinking of a really bad joke. If you remove the 'dakuten' from the Gintama name. You get what could be considered a dirty word. lol

I have some Volumes of the Gintama manga and have to say that it is pretty hilarious.

Dig Deeper into Gintama

Hideaki Sorachi's alternate history of the Edo period where aliens forcibly opened up Japan's borders instead of America. In this setting, a ronin, a straight man, and a powerful alien work paycheck-to-paycheck. Comedic hijinks, puns, and occasional swordfighting ensue.
