In its official website, Cruchyroll announced that the hit comedy Gintama anime series will continue with a fourth season.
Crunchyroll said Gintama Season 4 will begin to stream on Sunday, January and will be available to all its members worldwide except Asia.
The story as described by Crunchyroll:
“In a world where aliens have invaded Edo Period Japan, skyscrapers, trains and motor bikes have replaced the simple life of Earth inhabitants. One man however, still carries the soul of a samurai, Gintoki Sakata, otherwise known as Yorozuya Gin-san. As reckless as he is, Gintoki carries his own resolve and is ready to take on any challenge with his fellow companions.”
Gintama television anime series is based on the manga of the same name written and illustrated by Hideaki Sorachi. It was first serialized on December 2003 in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump.
The manga also inspired a live-action movie film directed by Yuichi Fukuda. The film is slated to hit the Japanese theaters in July.
