In a shocking and puzzling twist, Sentai Filmworks has confirmed an English dub for Gintama: The Movie. This announcement has left many fans puzzled but also delighted at the idea of hearing their favourite Gintama characters speaking English.

The reason for confusion of the series fans is the fact that Sentai’s release of the anime series itself was subtitled only. However, due to one of Sentai’s policies regarding Blu-Ray releases (all Blu-Ray releases must feature an English dub), the film will mark the first time fans will hear Gintoki and friends speak English.

Sentai plan to release Gintama: The Movie through multiple mediums, specifically digitally and on DVD and Blu-Ray later this year.

Sentai Filmworks have confirmed that they have acquired the license to the cinematic debut of the Gintama anime series (which Sentai also hold the rights to). The film itself is titled rather simply, Gintama: The Movie.

The film itself is a retelling of the Benizakura story arc from the anime series, featuring an alternate ending to the arc (which is considered the true ending in the Gintama canon, if you want to acknowledge Gintama having some kind of canon).

Sentai plan to release the film digitally and in a physical release on DVD and Blu-Ray later in the year. It should be assumed that the movie will not be dubbed considering Sentai’s release of the anime was subtitles only.
