Gintama Benizakura Movie to Air for Its 15th Anniversary
Gintama: A New Retelling Benizakura Arc will appear on the official YouTube account for the show on April 24, 2025. This is the version of the movie that included new cuts and shots that weren’t in the original show. [Thanks, ryokutya2089!] April 24, 2025 will mark the 15th anniversary of Gintama: A New Retelling Benizakura Arc. The movie appeared in movie theaters on April 24, 2010. It’s the first movie in the Gintama franchise and is a retelling of the Benizakura Arc, though with new and improved animation. It also included shorts where the characters talk with each other and Warner Bros in Gintama’s typical meta humor. The Benizakura Arc is the ninth arc in Gintama, taking place over the course of 5 episodes in the anime, and 2 volumes (10 chapters) in the manga. This makes it the first long arc in the story, which could explain its popularity. That it focused on Gintoki and Katsura, as well as introduced Takasugi and his Kiheitai, could also have to do with it. Whatever the reason, its popularity among the fans likely contributed to it being the only compilation film in the franchise. Gintama: A New Retelling Benizakura Arc will appear on YouTube from April 24, 2025 in Japan. It'll only be on the channel for two weeks. Those outside of Japan can catch Gintama on services like Crunchyroll. The post Gintama Benizakura Movie to Air for Its 15th Anniversary appeared first on Siliconera.
