New Gintama Anime Debuts First Trailer: Watch

by


As an avid fan who has followed the eccentric world of Gintama since its inception, I can hardly contain my excitement for this upcoming spinoff series titled 3-Nen Z-Gumi Ginpachi-Sensei. The thought of our beloved Ginpachi Sakata donning the teacher’s cap and imparting wisdom to a new generation of characters is nothing short of delightful.

The popular series “Gintama” is currently celebrating its 20th anniversary, and recently, the first trailer for an upcoming spinoff anime series based on the franchise was unveiled, set to air next year. Despite Hideaki Sorachi’s manga of Gintama wrapping up some years back, the franchise has continued to thrive through the anime adaptations. Over the past few years, new movies have been released in theaters, bringing the anime series to a conclusion. However, “Gintama” is making a fresh comeback as it marks two decades since the manga was first published by Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine.

Next year, Gintama will make its comeback on screens with a fresh spinoff titled “3-Nen Z-Gumi Ginpachi-Sensei”. This spinoff takes inspiration from Tomohito Osaki’s original novel of the same title, where it explores an alternate universe in which Ginpachi Sakata is the teacher at “Gintama High School”, with all his students being various characters from the series. The first trailer for this new Gintama anime was unveiled during the Jump Festa 2025 event, and you can catch a glimpse of it in the video above.

Originally penned by Tomohito Osaki, the novel series titled “3-Nen Z-Gumi Ginpachi-Sensei” is an authorized spinoff, set in the world where Ginpachi takes up teaching the 3-Z class at Gintama High School. This narrative has been ongoing since 2006 and continues to release new installments even in the present year in Japan. It’s a wildly entertaining series that some fans may have caught snippets of in the TV anime, but now it promises to offer a unique experience all its own. Expected for release around October as part of the Fall 2025 anime lineup, the wait for it won’t be long at all.

Natsumi Higashida is set to take the helm for BN Pictures in directing the upcoming anime series titled “3-Nen Z-Gumi Ginpachi-Sensei”. Kazuyuki Fudeyasu will be responsible for script supervision, while Mitei Matk II and Shinji Takeuchi serve as scriptwriters and chief animation director respectively. The music composition is in the capable hands of Audio Highs. Notably, the original voice cast from the “Gintama” anime will reprise their roles. This includes Tomokazu Sugita voicing Ginpachi Sakata, Daisuke Sakaguchi as Shinpachi Shimura, Rie Kugimiya as Kagura, Satsuki Yukino as Tae Shimura, Susumu Chiba as Isao Kondo, Kazuya Nakai as Toshiro Hijikata, Kenichi Suzumura as Sogo Okita, Tetsuharu Ohta as Sagaru Yamazaki, Yu Kobayashi as Ayame Sarutobi, Akira Ishida as Kotaro Katsura, Takehito Koyasu as Shinsuke Takasugi, and Satoshi Hino as Kamui.
