New merchandise for the TV anime Gintama begins rolling out at Animate from August 14, 2026, built around a "past and present" theme with newly drawn illustrations. A companion in-store fair also kicks off on August 14.
The lineup includes acrylic stands featuring the new past-and-present artwork, a "Korotto Acrylic Block Collection" with newly drawn chibi characters, and a "Wooden Tag Netsuke Collection" with motif designs, among other items.
In addition, the "TV Anime Gintama Animate Fair – Past and Present –" runs nationwide at Animate stores and Animate's online shop, split into a first half (August 14 to September 4, 2026) and a second half (September 5 to September 27, 2026).

About TV Anime Gintama
Gintama, the hit manga by Hideaki Sorachi serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump (Shueisha), has sold roughly 73 million copies worldwide including digital editions. Its blend of over-the-top comedy, intense action, and heartfelt bonds between characters has carried it through TV and theatrical anime adaptations as well as a live-action film.
A spin-off anime, 3-Nen Z-Gumi Ginpachi-sensei, based on the spin-off novel of the same name (written by Tomohito Osaki, original story by Hideaki Sorachi), began airing on the TV Tokyo network in October 2025. New Gintama the Movie: Yoshiwara in Flames opened in theaters in February 2026.
Roughly 20 years after it first began serialization, Gintama continues to grow through a range of media adaptations, winning over fans old and new.
