Gintama
We're Odd Jobs Gin!
Created by Hideaki Sorachi
A sprawling, joyfully anarchic action-comedy that pairs samurai-era soul with sci-fi absurdism, sustained across 367 episodes by the warmth of its core found-family dynamic.
In a world where aliens have invaded Edo Period Japan, skyscrapers, trains and motor bikes have replaced the simple life of Earth inhabitants. One man however, still carries the soul of a samurai, Gintoki Sakata, otherwise known as Yorozuya Gin-san. As reckless as he is, Gintoki carries his own resolve and is ready to take on any challenge with his fellow companions.
