Adaptation of the anime Main Staff
- Ginpachi-sensei serialization
In March Nov Gintama anime was announced. It is neither a sequel nor a prequel, but an adaptation of the spin-off light novel series of the same name 3-Nen Z-Gumi Ginpachi-Sensei in Japanese (it means something like Ginpachi's teacher, 3rd grade Z).
Since then, not much information has been revealed except for a rendering and a 2025 release window. This series is not entirely new to anime fans, the original anime adapted parts of it at the end of the episodes (they are just humorous skits unrelated to the plot of the episode).
