Well, it’s finally been confirmed that Gintama is going to take the plunge and appear on the big screen. The official website to the Gintama movie has just opened (Link here) and the film is expected to release sometime next year. So what kind of movie can Gintama fans expect from this venture?
Benizakura Arc Reloaded
According to sources (Anime news network), the movie will be an extension of the Benizakura arc that ended 121 episodes ago- I mean talk about lack of creativity. For those of you who don’t know, Benizakura Arc is about a rabid serial killer who goes around hacking would be passer-byers to test out a new custom fitted ultra cool demon samurai sword. Of course, in the typical Gintama fashion, the story eventually expands to issues ranging anywhere from responsibility for one’s actions to the purposes one dedicates their lives to (*sniff*-it’s amazing how Gintama can make you laugh and then reflect all in the same arc). Supposedly the arc ended with the defeat of the serial killer at the hands of Gin-san, but somehow the people at Gintama have dreamed up a creative way to extend the whole story and fit it for the big
screen.

Gin-San and Nizo go at it
Final thoughts
To be completely honest, as I Gintama fan, and emphasis on FAN, I’m a bit reluctant to fully embrace the concept of a Gintama movie. Maybe it’s because most anime movie adaption from anime series are usually a hurried mess that make me want to cringe and poke out my eyes. I can’t even begin to mention how many times of sat through one of these “films” just to end up utterly confused and bewildered. I mean what happen to the plot? And for pete’s sake do the people over there in the anime world even understand character consistency? Seriously, it’s to point that I began believing that the anime world is good for series, but not movies adapted from series. Sure there are some exceptions, but they are far and few between. Nevertheless, I’m pretty sure that regardless of what happens, the people over there at Gintama will create a movie that will at least be funny, amusing and down right entertaining. I mean that’s what has been the case for most of their 181 episodes.Why stop now? I am G-man!

It’s not a joke this time?
Moo Moo!
It could still be a joke though.
ANN is trolling us again.
Come to think of it.. I think it may very well be a joke….
Supposedly it’s just a rehash of the Benizakura arc. Probably will be mostly old footage with new scenes thrown in here or there and maybe a new ending. Pretty standard when it comes to anime movies adapted from series. (looking at you Evangelion: Death & Rebirth) Personally I always felt like the more awesome arcs of the series fit the movie format well since those were the times the show is most narrative. I just would rather have had a movie that was something new. I was hoping for a flashback movie that would show Gintoki, Katsura, and the others fighting the Amanto.
У меня почему-то не получется так писать, хорошая статья!
whoever wrote this is a fucking tard ass
seriously
do you even watch the show?
the movie is in no way a continuation of the benizakura ark… noone cares about that scrub and the sword and no one cares about your little essay page flame on the show based off some faulty mal info
the movie is a huge deal to gintama fans because it gets into Shinsuke Takasugi and Gintoki’s relationship and lets Shinsuke do some fighting. so your your worthless post talking shit on the movie that hasn’t aired yet no one cares about it google has broad casted your stupidity to the world and we all know you will be waiting to say i told you so when the movie airs whether or not you even watch it. There’s more too this show than a joke
Really interesting post, I admire you taking the time to put this with each other for viewers like me.
