~~Gintama~~

Gin Tama (銀魂 Gintama^{[color:dc8b=#00e]?}, lit. "Silver Soul"), also known as Gintama, is a Japanese manga written and illustrated by Hideaki Sorachi and serialized, beginning on December 8, 2003, in Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump. Set in an Edo which has been conquered by aliens named Amanto, the plot follows life from the point of view of samurai Gintoki Sakata, who works as a freelancer alongside his friends Shinpachi Shimura and Kagura in order to pay the monthly rent. Sorachi added the science fiction setting to develop characters to his liking after his editor suggested doing a historical series.

The manga has been licensed by Viz Media in North America. In addition to publishing the individual volumes of the series, Viz serialized its first chapters in their Shonen Jump manga anthology. It debuted in the January 2007 issue, and was serialized at a rate of one chapter a month. An original video animation (OVA) of Gin Tama by Sunrise was featured at Jump Festa 2006 Anime Tour in 2005. This was followed by a full anime series, which debuted on April 4, 2006 in TV Tokyo and finished on March 25, 2010. A sequel titled Gintama' premiered in Japan on April 4, 2011. An animated film premiered in Japan in April 2010. The website Crunchyroll is streaming the series on its site, while Sentai Filmworks licensed the series, with distribution from Section23 Films on DVDs. Besides the anime series, there have been various light novels and video games based on Gin Tama.

In Japan, the Gin Tama manga has been popular, selling over 29
million volumes as of December 2009. The anime and its DVDs have been
featured, at various time, in Top Ten of their respective media, while
TV Tokyo has announced that the first Gin Tama anime was responsible for high sales overseas along with the anime adaptation from Naruto. Publications for manga, anime and others have commented on the Gin Tama
manga. Positive response have focused on the comedy and characters from
the series, while negative responses concern the manga's artwork.
The story of Gin Tama takes place in Edo (known today as Tokyo because of its name change in 1868), Japan, which was conquered by aliens called "Amanto" (天人^{[color:dc8b=#00e]?}, "Sky People") in the late Edo period. The samurai
of Japan fought the aliens, but after their defeat the Amanto placed a
ban on carrying swords in public. The plot is focused on an eccentric samurai, Gintoki Sakata who helps a teenager named Shinpachi Shimura save his sister Tae from a group of aliens who want to make her part of a brothel. Impressed with Gintoki, Shinpachi becomes his apprentice and works with him as a freelancer
in order to pay the monthly rent where Gintoki lives, as well as to
know more about him. The two of them rescue a teenage alien girl named Kagura from a group of Yakuza who wanted to use her superhuman strength to kill people. Kagura joins Shinpachi and Gintoki to work as freelancers and the three become known as "Yorozuya" (万事屋^{[color:dc8b=#00e]?}, "We do everything"). While doing their job they encounter the police force Shinsengumi
several times, who normally ally with Odd Jobs Gin in their work since
they commonly involve dangerous criminals. They also come to meet
Gintoki's former comrades during the Amanto's invasion, including the
terrorist Kotaro Katsura who maintains a friendly relationship with them despite his ambitions to destroy the bakufu. On the other hand, Shinsuke Takasugi acts as a major antagonist throughout the series, as he wants to destroy the bakufu in a more violent way than Katsura does.

Although the series' story is commonly episodic, there are also a few story arcs which are developed through several chapters.^[1]

Themes and style


Hideaki Sorachi's main focus in Gin Tama is the use of gags;
during the manga's second year of serialization he started to add more
drama to the story while still keeping the comedy.^[2] Various jokes from the manga are comments regarding clichés from other shōnen
series. For example, in the first chapter after Gintoki fights a group
of aliens to protect Shinpachi and Tae, Shinpachi complains that he only
fought for "one page" and Gintoki replies, "Shut up! One page is a long
time for a manga artist!" Gintoki's exaggerated desire to read the Weekly Shōnen Jump (which causes him to fight other readers in order to get it) also makes fun of shōnen, since during those parts characters quote them.^[3][4] Other types of comic situations are more general, so that the reader must know about Japanese culture to understand them.^[5]
The humour is described by publications as being "bizarre" and "weird".
It is also described as being divided between two categories: "sci-fi
comedy" and a "samurai comedy" with the former referring to the aliens.^[6] It tends to point out "an irritating foible about modern society" including celebrations days or famous mythical figures.^[1] Additionally, there are references to several historical figures with a few characters from the story being based on them.^[7]
Besides the series' comedy, the aliens' invasion in Japan bring several
social issues between them and the humans with the most recurring one
being the lack of social equality.^[8]
