It’s time to get a few extra looks at the wacky world of Edo.
Earlier today, the live-action Gintama film franchise’s official website updated with ten short (very short!) clips for Gintama 2: Okite wa Yaburu Tame ni Koso Aru (Gintama 2: The Laws Are Surely There to Be Broken). You can check these out below:

Gintama 2: Okite wa Yaburu Tame ni Koso Aru will cover the manga’s “Shinsengumi Crisis” (Chapters 101 – 105) and “Shogun Assassination” arcs (Chapters 502 – 524). The film will open in Japanese theaters on August 17.
Yūichi Fukuda will return to the director’s chair on the project and, like the first film, will write the script.

The first Gintama movie opened in Japanese theaters on July 14, 2017. In its first six weeks, the movie managed to bring in 3.48 billion yen ($31,796,794.80 USD).
The Gintama films are based on Hideaki Sorachi’s manga of the same name. Sorachi’s original manga kicked off in the pages of Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump on December 8, 2003. The title’s final chapter will run in Weekly Shonen Jump on February 5. Ultimately, the title will span 73 collected volumes.
Several anime adaptations were produced, including four TV series, five OVAs, and three films.
Viz Media currently holds the license for the Gintama manga. Funimation released the third anime season on Blu-Ray and DVD in March, and Well Go USA shipped the first live-action film on March 6.
