Last weekend, TV Tokyo's site for the Gintama anime was updated with news that the adaptation of Hideaki Sorachi's samurai comedy-action manga will be returning in October's fall season with the Porori Arc? What is a "Porori Arc?" More re-reruns of the best-of that ran this spring leading into the July 14th live-action movie opening?

An early look at next week's Jump has the cast and creators talking around the issue, while hinting a new material.

A TV guide blurb outright promises an adaptation of previously unanimated manga chapters (presumably some of the humorous short stories that the anime skipped to get to the heavier Shogun Assassination, Farewell Shinsengumi and Battle on Rakuyo run), along with a return to its late-night Sunday slot.
