Review: Classic series ,but was cancels in English - Unfortunately not all of Gintama was published in English ( only about 30 out of the 70) but even still it’s a good read with an equally good animie Review: gintama-humour for the clinically insane - I've loved this series since I first set eyes on the fansubbed anime back a few months ago. If you can suspend all your regular systems of belief that Peacemaker and Rurouni Kenshin might have taught you about the Edo period, you will undoubtedly have fun with this. The Gintama-fied version of the once fearsome Shinsengumi had me in stitches: Okita is no longer sweet, childish and playful-he's now a crazy person carrying around a rocket launcher trying to off his boss at any oppurtune moment. Kondo is now a complete buffoon (and crazy person) trying to stalk Shinpachi's sister...and failing miserably. And the long suffering Hijikata is now-you guessed it! a crazy person-desperately holding on to what remains of his sanity while keeping his subordinates under control, and kicking the stuffing out of them in the process. Oh yes; and the famous rebel bomber Katsura now has a giant pet duck named 'Elizabeth' who might just be an hairy old man in disuise. Its stupid, its crude, and its crazy, but good grief its funny. Special mention must also go to our protagonist Gintoki, whose hilariously cynical and philosophical approach to life, even in the most off-the-wall situation, is a breath of fresh air into a genre where most of the heroes are cardboard cut-out sterotypes that spout 'I want to become stronger!' over and over again. And believe it or not, there is a decent storyline hidden in there too; so even if you don't like the 'client of the day' theme, I beg of you to just hang in there and you won't be disappointed! The only thing I find disappointing with the manga adaptation is that Katsura no longer has his famous line-'Zura ja nai! KATSURA desu!' which is a great shame and an unjustifiable change. Other than that, full marks go to this comedy/action masterpiece, Gintama truly wins the gold (or silver!!) award for the best series to grace Shonen Jump since Naruto. Lets 'pray' for english release of the anime soon!

Set in an alternate Japan where aliens have colonised the country, the story revolves around a Freelance company, 'Odd jobs Gin', made up of three people, Gintoki Sakata, a rude, lazy Ronin, Kagura, a dim-witted humanoid with monstrous strength, and Shimpachi Shimura, who is the only sane person out of the three. along with them, the story also follows others that the Three come in contact with, such as the Shinsugami (police), a freedom fighter/terrorist and his creepy penguin thing (vol 3) and countless other weirdoes in this obscene world. What the series also does well besides comedy is the backstory of the characters, who each have a serious and well thought of which takes the series back to a more serious matter. overall if would easily recommend Gin Tama to any manga and anime fan ## Frequently Bought Together - Gin Tama, Volume 1 - Gin Tama, Volume 2 - Gin Tama, Volume 3 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/48326358-gin-tama-vol-1](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/48326358-gin-tama-vol-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-05-02*
