 The official Twitter account of the Gintama anime series announced a new anime special on Saturday. The special episode will debut exclusively on NTT Docomo's dTV streaming platform in early 2021.  The announcement commemorates one year anniversary of the manga's final chapter. The special will be related to the third anime film (teaser visual pictured right), which is also scheduled for an early 2021 release.Hideaki Sorachi began serializing the adventure comedy manga in 2003 and ended it in Weekly Shounen Jump in September 2018. The manga subsequently switched to Jump GIGA for three consecutive issues before making another transfer to the official Gintama application and concluding on June 20 last year. Shueisha shipped the 77th and final volume last August. Sunrise produced a special episode that was featured at the Jump Festa Anime Tour in September 2005. The first anime season debuted in Spring 2006 and ran for 201 episodes until Winter 2010, which was followed by six more seasons between 2011 and 2018. The manga also received two anime films that premiered in 2010 and 2013, among several original video anime episodes. A live-action film produced by Warner Bros. Pictures screened in Japan in July 2017, grossing over 4.6 billion yen. A sequel film premiered in August 2018. The first film screened in the United States and Canada in January 2018, and was subsequently released on Blu-ray and DVD in March of the same year. Sentai Filmworks distributed the first 49 episodes and the first anime film from 2010 to 2012 on DVD and Blu-ray, respectively. Crunchyroll re-licensed the anime series and released episodes 266–291 through Funimation in March 2018. The second part of the release containing episodes 292–316 shipped in September 2018. VIZ Media began publishing the series in English through its Shounen Jump Advanced imprint in 2007 before the release was discontinued with the 23rd volume in 2011. The manga has also been localized in multiple foreign languages. Source: Comic Natalie Gintama: The Semi-Final on MAL |

| GINTAMA WILL NEVER DIE!!! GOOD NEWS. ..while I'm trying to catch up and then refresh to see this. There is no rest for anime fans. |
 |
| Nothing more fitting than the words "All Good Things Must Come To An End". But we gladly take whatever Gintama is given to us. One of the two anime that completely changed my outlook of life. |
| Stay Home and Wash Your Hands. Protect Yourself. Protect Your Loved Ones. Protect Your Community and Help Defeat Coronavirus. |
| About damn time. I was waiting for it since the manga had already ended. We're in the endgame now. Oops, I thought this was connected to the last season Shirogane no Tamashii-hen. But, might as well take it. |

 Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |
| More gintama is always welcome. Still waiting for end of the sky. |
 |
| Nice, I want to believe this will be a nice appetizer before the final movie. |
 |
| There's like 370 episodes of Gintama. Can't wait to catch up to where it finally gets good... I'm really trying to listen to you guys, haha. |

| wait, there's a movie too? why not adapt the last manga chapters and call it a day, bury it in the sands of time and leave it alone. The humor got stale after 300 episodes, now it's so forced I feel it in my butt |
    |

 _______I like rocks__  |
| More Gintama is never a bad thing. |

|

The humor got stale after 300 episodes, now it's so forced I feel it in my butt the movie is supposed to be the last of the manga chapters to my understanding. Also, umm..... by 300 episodes I assume you mean by 2015(which I can agree with to an extent), because of course it's not gonna be very funny after episode 300, because that's the start of the Shogun Assassination Arc, and after that the series had less comedy until the Slip arc you can never mess with a gintama fan. I am one of those few people that love gintama's comedy and dislike kinda the serious action story arcs, so that's why. And it's good new that they'll adapt the last chapters |
|
| Hype level 100%. Yorozuya gang will never die! Still like 100 chapters behind though lmao. |
 |
| Another great announcement. Shut up and take my money. |
| already lost my interest. But it's a good news, I guess |
| oooh that sure is interesting!! Cant wait for that :) |

| This is big news! We need more comedy to make up for 2020's dumpster fire |
