Gintama is one of those properties that seems like you just can’t keep it down. According to the new Weekly Shonen Jump issue due out shortly, it’s revealing that the 58th installment of the Gintama compilations will come with a bundled anime DVD episode. Created by Hideaki Sorachi, the series will land this volume on April 3rd, 2015 and it’s an episode that has not previously aired on TV. According to the information, the release will come with an exclusive cover for this bundle as well as a bookmark and postcard in anime style.
Viz Media released the series through the 23rd volume back in spring of 2011 before abandoning due to low sales.
Sentai Filmworks released the movie and four collections of anime episodes before abandoning it due to low sales.
Property concept: Back in the old days, samurai walked the streets as if they owned them. But then an alien race landed in Japan and stripped the samurai of their status and their swords. In the world of Gin Tama, history takes a wrong turn: samurai in this alternate Japan must live alongside aliens – not to mention guns, TVs, cars, and spaceships.
Sakata “Gin” Gintoki is a goofy former samurai who’ll take on any odd job to make ends meet. His greatest wish is to protect Japan from yakuza and dishonorable aliens, and return Japan to its former glory – all with a wooden sword!
