Gintama: The Final is the (supposedly) concluding film of the Gintama franchise. However, the film’s list of surprises has not ended yet.
With this unpredictable series, there’s no telling what will happen next. Do not expect this series to be heart touching because the characters will turn every situation into hilarious gag scenes.
Although the manga has ended, the anime continues to show us the Yorozuya trio’s different antics.
The official website of Gintama: The Final revealed that the anime film will be premiered again along with audio commentary by the main cast.
The film will be screened on 22nd January.

Gintama: The Final premiered in Japan on 8th January. The film adapts the final few chapters of the manga and adds some original twists to them as well.
Although the film is being marketed as the final film of the franchise, it may not be the truth. Sakata Gintoki admits that it is a marketing strategy in one of the trailers.
On its opening weekend, the film ranked as #1. It overtook Demon Slayer: Mugen Train after Mugen Train’s reign on the charts for 12 consecutive weekends.
A two-episode prequel to the film titled “Gintama: The Semi-Final” premiered on the dTV service in Japan. It debuted on 15th January.
