TV TOKYO has officially announced the world premiere of its newest Gintama anime spin-off, GINTAMA – Mr. Ginpachi’s Zany Class, set to debut at Anime Expo 2025. The event will take place on Saturday, July 5, 2025, from 3:30 PM to 4:20 PM PDT in Panel Room 408AB at the Los Angeles Convention Center. This highly anticipated panel will give fans the first chance to watch a full episode of the new comedy series, along with exclusive behind-the-scenes insights and special messages from the voice cast.
Based on the Gintama spin-off novel 3-nen Z-gumi Ginpachi-sensei, the new anime reimagines the eccentric Gintoki Sakata as a chaotic high school teacher. Alongside his equally bizarre students, Ginpachi delivers life lessons in the most absurd and unpredictable ways, channeling the same brand of humor that made the original Gintama series a cult favorite.
The premiere panel promises to be more than just a screening. Fans can expect a video message from the beloved Odd Jobs trio: Gintoki (Tomokazu Sugita), Shinpachi (Daisuke Sakaguchi), and Kagura (Rie Kugimiya). In addition, attendees will get a look behind the curtain at the anime’s creative development and will be the first to see brand-new Gintama merchandise reveals. There will also be giveaways and quizzes during the panel, giving lucky fans the chance to win exclusive Gintama goods.
