The expansion marks a significant step toward making the entire Gintama anime series more accessible to Western audiences, years after its chaotic humor first hit Japanese airwaves.


Story Synopsis

The Gintama anime, based on Hideaki Sorachi’s long-running manga, is one of the most beloved and unpredictable comedy-action series in anime history.
Set in an alternate Edo period overrun by alien invaders called Amanto, the story follows Gintoki Sakata, a freelancing samurai whose laziness and love for sweets contrast sharply with his hidden swordsmanship. Alongside his oddball team — Shinpachi and Kagura — Gintoki takes on absurd jobs, alien overlords, and relentless parodies of other anime franchises.

The addition of Seasons 2 and 3 to Hulu now allows viewers to experience more of the show’s outrageous arcs — including some of its funniest parodies and most emotional storylines — all newly dubbed in English for the first time.


Publication or Announcement Details

  • Platform: Hulu (U.S.)
  • Release Date: October 7, 2025
  • Dub Format: English (covering Episodes 50–150)
  • Original Studio: Sunrise (now Bandai Namco Filmworks)
  • Genre: Comedy, Action, Sci-fi, Parody

The update follows Hulu’s ongoing effort to expand its anime catalog, making Gintama one of its most complete long-form series to date.
Episodes 1–150 are now available with English dubbing, and fans can expect additional seasons to join the lineup in the near future.


Character / Key Figure Summaries

  • Gintoki Sakata (voiced by Tomokazu Sugita / Michael Daingerfield)
    A lazy, sugar-addicted samurai who runs the Yorozuya (Odd Jobs) business. Despite his carefree nature, Gintoki is a master swordsman haunted by his past as a freedom fighter in the Joui War. His blend of sarcasm and sincerity defines Gintama’s humor and heart.
  • Kagura (voiced by Rie Kugimiya / Jocelyn Loewen)
    A superhuman alien girl from the Yato Clan who joins Gintoki’s team. Her childlike innocence and monstrous strength make her both comic relief and emotional anchor.
  • Shinpachi Shimura (voiced by Daisuke Sakaguchi / Cole Howard)
    The straight man of the trio, constantly exasperated by his companions’ antics. Yet, he remains loyal — and perhaps the only truly “normal” person in Edo.
  • Hideaki Sorachi (Original Creator)
    Known for his sharp wit and meta-commentary, Sorachi’s storytelling remains a balance of comedy, social satire, and unexpectedly deep character arcs. His series has sold over 55 million manga copies worldwide.

Did You Know?

  • Gintama was originally considered “too weird” for Western localization — Funimation initially passed on it before later dubbing select episodes.
  • The series often breaks the fourth wall, even parodying its own animation studio and sponsors.
  • The franchise has spawned three anime films, including Gintama: The Final (2021), which concluded the story.
  • Hulu previously hosted only Gintama Season 1 — until this 2025 update added over 100 more episodes dubbed in English.

With Hulu’s expanded lineup, Gintama finally receives the comprehensive international exposure it deserves — allowing a new wave of fans to discover its razor-sharp satire and heartfelt storytelling in a fresh voice.

Slated to premiere on July 18, this new series will delve into the human psyche, exposing how desires can lead to doom when met by the enigmatic salesman Moguro Fukuzou.

Originally serialized in the late 1960s and revived through multiple manga and anime versions, The Laughing Salesman (Warau Salesman) follows Moguro Fukuzou, a mysterious salesman who offers to fulfill people’s deepest desires. However, each “deal” comes with an unspoken catch: if the client betrays the terms or acts in bad faith, Moguro ensures they pay the ultimate price.

Character Summaries

Moguro Fukuzou

The ever-smiling, ominous salesman in a black suit and hat. He preys on human flaws, offering solutions that seem too good to be true.

Various Clients

Each episode introduces a new character — often average individuals consumed by desire, envy, or loneliness. Whether it’s wealth, revenge, or fame they seek, Moguro always offers an easy way out… at a price.
