Gintama

2006, Show

Life isn't easy in feudal Japan... especially since the aliens landed and conquered everything! Oh sure, the new health care is great, but the public ban on the use of swords has left a lot of defeated samurai with a difficult decision to make concerning their future career paths! This is especially true if, as in the case of Gintoki Sakata, they're not particularly inclined towards holding a day job, which is why Gintoki's opted for the freelance route, taking any job that's offered to him as long as the financial remuneration sounds right. Unfortunately, in a brave new world filled with stray bug-eyed monsters, upwardly mobile Yakuza and overly ambitious E.T. entrepreneurs, those jobs usually don't pay as well as they should for the pain, suffering and indignities endured!

The art and animation are well done, and the alternate feudal Japan setting is interesting.

What is Gintama about? Toggle content

In a world where aliens have taken over and outlawed swords, a laid-back samurai named Gintoki Sakata gets by however he can, taking on odd jobs and teaming up with a ragtag group of misfits to make a difference - and maybe even score some cash. Alongside his friends Shinpachi Shimura and the mysterious Kagura, Gintoki's adventures are full of action, humor, and a little bit of heart. But with tensions between humans and aliens running high, will their antics be enough to bring about real change?
