New series based on Hideaki Sorachi's action comedy manga to air on TV Tokyo

The Gintama event at Jump Festa 2015 announced on Sunday that a new television anime series has been green-lit. The new series will premiere on TV Tokyo and its affiliates in April 2015.

Hideaki Sorachi's original Gintama action comedy manga inspired a television anime that premiered in 2006 and continued (with several extended hiatuses) until 2013. It also inspired two movies, including the "final" Gekijōban Gintama Kanketsu-hen: Yorozuya yo Eien Nare film that opened last year.

This year's Jump Special Anime Festa event tour debuted a one-episode Gintama special in November. That special is shipping on a DVD with the 58th manga volume on April 3, 2015.
