Previously, it was officially announced that the Gintama manga was slated to end in the September 15 issue of Weekly Jump. Now its creator says the popular manga isn’t actually ending.

Debuting in December 2003, Gintama is one of Weekly Jump’s most popular manga. Like anything, it will come to an end. And that end could be soon.

Well, it wouldn’t be Gintama if didn’t look zany, would it? Here is the first trailer for Gintama 2.

We've seen how the live-action Gintama actors in costume stack up against the original characters, but now let's compare how individual manga panels compare to the upcoming movie version.

The debut Gintama trailer wasn't exactly hilarious. The latest one isn't either, but it does want you to know this: It's a comedy.

Earlier this month, comedian Galigali Galixon was arrested in Osaka for drunk driving. This winter, the live action version of Gintama, a film the comedian has a small role in, is slated to hit Japanese theatres. Make that had a small role.

This winter, the live-action Gintama movie rolls into Japanese movie theatres. So, let's check out the flick's first trailer.

Starting April 21, visitors to J-World Tokyo, the indoor amusement park, can dress up as One Piece, Dragon Ball, Gintama, and Naruto characters. 

If the point was to find actors who looked like the anime characters, then I guess the filmmakers did that!

I know I sure didn't earlier this week. But did you? If not, look closer, and maybe you can put your finger on it.

Next year, a live-action Gintama movie based on the popular manga and anime is slated to hit Japanese movie theatres. Here's a first look at the movie's leads.

If you think this looks like a penis, you are not alone. Gintama character Shinpachi did, too.

Japan has already had bento art, latte art, toast art, banana art and more. Looks like, cigarette art might be next the medium to bring anime and video game characters to life. Smoke if ya got 'em!
