The other weekend at the Gold Coast Supanova, Madman Entertainment announced a number of anime films they intended to release over the coming months. One of these was Gintama: The Movie, the film for the anime series which the company has not yet announced an acquisition for. This will be the first of the films mentioned to be released by the company, with an intended release date of August 2012.
Hilarious violence is guaranteed. Your sanity is not.
Odd Jobs Gin has taken on a lot of odd work in the past, and when you’re a Jack of All Trades agency based in a feudal Japan that’s been conquered and colonized by aliens, the term “Odd Jobs” means REALLY ODD jobs. But when some more than slightly suspicious secrets from the shadows of Gintoki Sakata’s somewhat shady former samurai past and a new pair of odd jobs collide, the action is bound to get so wild and demented that only a feature film will do it justice! Sit down, strap yourself in, and make sure you’re not wearing anything too tight or constricting as the junior half of OJG takes on the task of tracking down a tenacious terrorist while their silver-haired slickster of a partner seeks out a certain sword in the stunningly side-splitting and screwy Gin Tama!
As usual, prices and proper confirmation will not be ensured until the titles are made available for pre-order from the Madman Entertainment website in June 2012.
