“Gintama” is a Japanese action comedy in Japanese that’s based on the anime and manga series of the same name. The film revolves around the adventure of Gintoki, a samurai for hire in a world where aliens exist and samurai are no longer respected. Gintoki soon comes upon a case dealing with haunted swords, and finds that there is a much more sinister plot afoot in Japan.
