Gintama: The Very Final, which was released on January 8, 2021, bids adieu to the parody epic that delighted fans for over a decade, etching its name forever in anime history. The series recently hosted its Ato no Matsuri event and the fandom got a glimpse of what the franchise has in store for them in the future.
Following its theatrical run, fans are now looking for the movie online. The movie acts as a conclusion to the anime series and is adapted from the final arc of the original manga by Hideaki Sorachi. An additional episode called Gintama: The Semi-Final was also released that serves as a bridge between the movie and the series.
