GINTAMA - Mr. Ginpachi’s Zany Class Gets World Premiere at Anime Expo 2025

Gintoki Sensei Takes Over Anime Expo! World Premiere of “GINTAMA - Mr. Ginpachi’s Zany Class” Set for AX 2025

TV TOKYO’s bringing Gintama chaos back in the most ridiculous way possible—this time with Mr. Ginpachi-sensei at the front of the class. 

And guess what? 

Fans at Anime Expo 2025 are getting first dibs on all the madness.

Mark your calendars, Gintama crew! 

TV TOKYO has officially confirmed the world premiere of its all-new spin-off anime “GINTAMA - Mr. Ginpachi’s Zany Class” at none other than Anime Expo 2025 in Los Angeles. 

This ain’t your average classroom—expect chalkboard philosophy, delinquent humour, and fourth-wall-breaking antics like only Gintama can serve.

The premiere’s going down on Saturday, July 5, 2025, from 3:30 PM to 4:20 PM PDT, over at Panel Room 408AB inside the LA Convention Center. 

And it’s not just a basic screening—TV TOKYO is pulling out all the stops.

What’s on the Timetable? (Spoiler: Mayhem) 

🎬 Full Episode Premiere: Be among the very first humans on Earth to watch a full episode of the new spin-off. 

That’s right, world premiere style—no sneaky leaks here. 

📢 Special Messages from the OG Odd Jobs Trio: Expect greetings (probably unhinged ones) from the iconic trio—Gintoki Sakata (voiced by the legendary Tomokazu Sugita), Shinpachi Shimura (Daisuke Sakaguchi), and Kagura (Rie Kugimiya). 

Feels incoming.

🎨 Behind-the-Scenes Banter: Get a cheeky peek at how this classroom chaos was cooked up—from concept to final cut. 

🛍️ New Merch Drop: Fresh Gintama gear is on the way. Maybe a Ginpachi-sensei chalkboard plush? One can hope. 

🎁 Giveaways and Games Galore: From quizzes to random madness, attendees can win exclusive Gintama goodies. 

Think rare merch, maybe even some autographed items if luck’s on your side.

“We’re absolutely thrilled to bring the world premiere of ‘GINTAMA - Mr. Ginpachi’s Zany Class’ to Anime Expo,” shared Makoto Hijikata, producer at TV TOKYO. “This spin-off brings a brand new flavour to the beloved Gintama universe while keeping its signature humour and heart. We’re buzzing to show it to fans first-hand.”

GINTAMA’s Legacy, Reimagined

Based on the wildly popular school parody chapters from Hideaki Sorachi’s manga, Mr. Ginpachi’s Zany Class is a send-up of every high school trope ever—crammed into the Gintama multiverse. 

Imagine your favourite characters stuffed into a classroom, chaos levels cranked up to 200%, and Gintoki in glasses trying to “teach” life lessons no one asked for. Yeah, it’s gonna be unmissable.
