Gintama is an action-comedy anime series that takes place in the early Edo period of Japanese history. The story follows Sakata Gintoki, a silver-haired adult founder of Yorozuya, a small business centered around odd jobs.

Gintoki is accompanied by Kagura, a girl with superhuman strength, Shimura Shinpachi, a boy learning to be a samurai, and Sadaharu, the colossal pet dog of Gintoki. Gintoki's everyday life is filled with solving odd jobs and offending people with his samurai attire, as this attire was banned during the Edo period.


Another theatrical edit of the Gintama series was announced in September 2023, which covered the Thorny Arc (episodes 244-247). This compilation movie aired on November 9, 2023.
