Positive responses have focused on the comedy and characters from the series, as well as its overarching plot and action choreography.

Plot[edit]

See also:List ofGintamacharacters

The story is set in an alternate-history late-Edo period,where humanity is attacked by aliens called "Amanto"(Thiên nhân,"Sky People" ).Edo Japan'ssamuraifight to defend Earth, but theshoguncowardly surrenders when he realizes the aliens' power. He agrees to an unequal contract with the aliens, placing a ban on carrying swords in public and allowing the invaders to enter the country. The samurai's swords are confiscated and the Tokugawabakufu(shogunate) becomes a puppet government.

The series focuses on an eccentricsamurai,Gintoki Sakatawho works as an odd-jobs freelancer. He helps a teenager namedShinpachi Shimurasave his sister Tae from an alien group that wants to send her to a brothel. Impressed by Gintoki, Shinpachi becomes his freelance apprentice to pay the bills and learn more about the enigmatic samurai. When the pair rescues a teenage alien girl with super-strength,Kagura,from aYakuzagroup, they accept her into their odd-jobs freelancing business, and the three become known as "Yorozuya"(Vạn sự ốc,'Store of 10,000 business' or 'We do everything').

While working, they regularly encounter theShinsengumipolice force, who often ally with Gintoki when work involves dangerous criminals. The trio also meets Gintoki's former comrades from the Amanto invasion, including the revolutionary Kotaro Katsura who is friendly toward them despite his terrorist activities against the alien-controlled government.

The story is a balance between episodic and shorter arc based plotlines that resolve quickly, and a rich background plot that develops from its beginning to end.[5]For example, Gintoki's former comradeShinsuke Takasugiis a major antagonist who regards Gintoki and his other former comrades as enemies and seeks to destroy the shogunate. Over time, Takasugi gains allies, including Kagura's brother Kamui, and the elite fighting unit Mimawarigumi to prepare for his large-scalecoup d'état.After the true antagonist—the immortalUtsuro—is introduced, Gintoki works with both friends and enemies to stop Utsuro from destroying the Earth.

Themes and style[edit]

Hideaki Sorachi's main focus inGintamais 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.[6]Various jokes from the manga are comments regarding elements from other manga 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 theWeekly Shōnen Jump(which causes him to fight other readers to get it) also makes fun ofshōnenseries, since during those parts characters quote them.[2][7]Other types of comedic situations are more general so that the reader must know about Japanese culture to understand them.[8]The humor 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.[3]It tends to point out "an irritating foible about modern society" including celebration days or famous mythical figures.[5]Additionally, there are references to several historical figures with a few characters from the story being based on them.[9]Besides the series' comedy, the aliens' invasion of Japan brings several social issues between them and the humans with the most recurring one being the lack ofsocial equality.[10]As a result, one of the main themes involves society trying to preserve their way of living rather than fulfilling a dream like in othershōnenseries.[11]

Production[edit]

Cover of the first issue of theWeekly Shōnen Jumpmagazine that featured the manga

In 2003,Hideaki Sorachiwas an up-and-coming manga artist who had already created twoone-shotsfor theWeekly Shōnen Jumpmagazine.[12]Although he was preparing to write his first serialized series, his editor suggested he create a manga series based on theShinsengumi,mostly inspired byan upcoming TV dramaabout the 1860s troupe as depicted by idol actors. Sorachi attempted to create this series since he admitted to liking the Shinsengumi but ultimately failed to get anything off the ground. Instead of abandoning the idea completely, he remained focused on the historical Japanese era but began to create his own story, adding in elements of science fiction and fictionalizing many of the figures from the era to create a story more to his liking.[13]The original title of the series was meant to be "Yorozuya Gin-san"(Vạn sự ốc ngân さん,lit."Odd Jobs Gin-san" ),but it did not have any impact on Sorachi. After a great debate, he decided to go with the nameGintamaafter discussing it with his family, deciding on a name that sounded close to the edge without being completely off it.[14]Although Sorachi considered the one-shot "Samuraider" to be very poor, the setting of one-shot served as the base forGintamasuch as the addition of alien characters.[15]Sorachi liked theBakumatsuandSengokuperiods due to how both were eras of change and thus presented the positive and negative points of humanity. The series was then set in an alternate Bakumatsu to give a bigger significance to the characters'bushidoas in that time samurais were at the low point of their lives.[11]Sorachi also cited the manga seriesRurouni Kenshin(1994–1999), set during the Bakumatsu andMeiji periods,as a major source of inspiration.[16]

The main character of the series was originally meant to beToshiro Hijikataas Sorachi was a fan of the Shinsengumi, most notably fromHijikata Toshizō(the Shinsengumi who was the base for the one ofGintama) after he saw the filmBurn! Sword!.When Sorachi could not "shake off" Hijikata's initial design, he decided not to use him as the lead character but added him along with the Shinsengumi to the story.[14]The pilot chapter from the series had a different plot to the one from the serialization: Shinpachi already met Gintoki in the story and there were more Shinsengumi to the story such as one based onHarada Sanosuke.As all these new Shinsengumi were older than most of the recurring characters from the series, Sorachi removed them thinking they were not entertaining.[17]When asked by a fan, Sorachi mentioned that most characters from the series are based on real-lifeEdocitizens while Gintoki's character is roughly based on thefolk heroSakata no Kintoki.[9]

When starting serialization the manga was unpopular and was close to being canceled. Although Sorachi was pleased with the firsttankōbonselling all of its copies, he later learned Shueisha was afraid of poor sales which resulted in the minimum printed.[18]To increase its popularity, the author introduced new characters, the Shinsengumi, who felt memorable to his assistants.[11]Sorachi had little hope on the manga's popularity, as he noted that people used to tell him the manga would not surpass the number of twotankōbonvolumes. However, once the third volume was released, Sorachi found that he did not have "any fresh material to use."[19]During the first year of the series, Sorachi believed that the source of the popularity ofGintamawas partially connected to the Shinsengumi drama. While the drama ran during the first year of the series, when the manga was mostly shorter stories that established the characters and the world, he felt uncomfortable making things related to the drama. By the second year and beyond, he became more daring in his stories and concepts, creating longer storylines that included more drama while keeping his sense of humor and satirization of modern Japan by way of his fictionalized past.[6]

When working on a chapter of Gintama, Sorachi sometimes had problems finishing the manuscript, leaving his supervisor to take it before he can revise it. He figured out what to write by staying in his room or going for a walk.[20]Although he commented that some of his ideas are "random," he focused on the fact that they are all related to the manga, and when he had problems coming up with ideas, Sorachi was often helped by his editor.[21]Thinking ofGintamaas a "non-sense manga," before writing a chapter, Sorachi decided whether it should be a comedy or a drama. Sorachi definedGintamaas a "science fiction human drama pseudo-historical comedy."[22]

When Sorachi illustratedGintama,he usually used a felt-tip pen, afountain pen,a brush-tip pen, and a multiliner, but for the major characters, he only used a felt-tip pen and a fountain pen and did their outlines with a multiliner-0.8.[23]

Critical response[edit]

Manga[edit]

Critical response to theGintamamanga has generally been positive when it comes to gags. Carlo Santos fromAnime News Networkfound the manga to be a "one-of-a-kind comedy" praising the characters' personalities and gags. On the other hand, the artwork was criticized for being "hard to follow" when there are fast scenes.[8]Jokes regardingclichésfrom othershōnenseries were also positively received by About.com writer Deb Aoki, who, like Santos, found the artwork to be "the only thing that distracts from the otherwise considerable pleasures of this loveable, goofymanga".[2]However, characters' designs were praised for their variations including the ones from the aliens appearing in the series by Katherine Dacey from Pop Culture Shock who remarked that "These characters add visual interest and life to every panel, keeping the reader invested when the stories stall."[177]Other negative comments regarding the manga have the few numbers of aliens appearing in the series as well as how some chapters are focused on fights such as Hijikata's fight against Gintoki. Michael Aronson from Manga Life concluded his review of the manga by saying that "The potential is there, but the execution is struggling" as still, he liked the comedy from the story.[178]Comics Village's Alex Hoffman mentioned thatGintama"can't truly be compared to those comics because of one thing: the jokes." He found the context from the series hilarious and like how there are new jokes in every chapter. Like other reviewers, Hoffman also disliked Sorachi's artwork, but still found the manga to be "a great comedy, or a great read."[179]Comic Book Bin writer Leroy Douresseaux found that the large number of characters with different appearances in the series allows the reader to remain entertained with the series as "at least every few pages or so present some unusual and interesting visual."[180]Anime News Network criticized its constant amount of penis jokes as well as the narrative's style which might bother readers.[181]The series' story arcs were also criticized for being derivative to commonShonen Jumpseries and that the battles were poorly illustrated and coreographed.[5]The ending of the series was criticized as for its messy storytelling where multiple plots are explained but not all are solved as the title instead focuses on telling multiple jokes from different point of views.[180]

Anime[edit]

The anime adaptation ofGintamahas received positive and mixed responses. The humor was noted to be improved after the series' introduction although some jokes were hard to understand because some of them are references to Japanese culture and other series.[182]The notes on the DVD releases were criticized for lacking an explanation of cultural jokes.[183]Additionally, the humor's quality was found to be inconsistent within the first episodes due to the depth some bring,[184]to the point that some viewers may abandon the series.[183]The quality of the series was found to improve as the series continues as people would not be intimidated by its large number of episodes.[184]The characters' actions were praised due to their knowledge that their tendencies to "break the fourth wall",[182]while the female characters were found appealing based on their unusual qualities.[184]The series has been noted for its ability to shift between comedy and drama without a loss of quality.[185]Anime News Network praised the ending's gags but lamented how several of the subplot of the series were not properly closed as a result of using several characters.[186]IGN was more positive, comparing the narrative to two other popular shonen manga seriesNarutoandJujutsu Kaisenfor how Gintoki and his friends deal with the Shoyo and Utsuro in their final fights "distilling a major conflict into a massive good-versus-evil showdown helps it to become interesting even for those who aren't as up to date on the saga as others" -[187]Crunchyrollfelt the animation felt more aDragon Ballfilm rather thanGintamaas a result of Toei working on it but still praised for retaining a humor and style reminiscent of the comedyKonosuba.[188]Yahoo panned the movie for being too difficult to follow unless the audience has knowledge about previousGintamaevents and found some jokes did not feel appealing. Nevertheless, he praised fight scenes which would appeal to the fans of samurai seriesRurouni KenshinandAfro Samurai.[189]

At the Japanese box office,The Moviegrossed¥1.07 billion,[190]andThe Final Chaptergrossed¥1.7 billion,[191]giving a total Japanese box office gross of¥2.77 billion($31 million) for both anime films.

Controversy[edit]

Episode 232 of the anime series had a defamatory depiction of a character that referenced a specific politician, then–Minister for Government RevitalisationRenhō Murata,which resulted in the cancelation of its rerun on AT-X.[192]Series supervisor Shinji Takamatsu explained that TV Tokyo canceled the rerun on its own. Renhō's representative denied having objected to the episode although a report from the newspaperMainichi Shimbunstated the affected party contacted TV Tokyo.[193]When the story arc the episode belonged to was completed, Takamatsu expressed doubts about the arc's release in DVD format.[194]
