Gintama (銀魂 Gintama, or Silver Soul) is a Japanese anime series based on the manga written and illustrated by Hideaki Sorachi. The anime adaptation was directed by Shinji Takamatsu from Episodes 1 to 105, by Yoichi Fujita from Episode 100 to 265, and Chizuru Miyawaki from Episode 266 to 367.

Dubbing History
The first two seasons of the Gintama series were initially licensed by Sentai Filmworks, which released the first season across 4 volumes from April 27, 2010 to February 22, 2011. Sentai also had the second season licensed, but the releases stalled before finishing. Sentai's release was subtitle-only, with Gintama: The Movie being the only part of the series which they dubbed. The Movie's release performed well, and Sentai Filmworks announced that based on the film's performance, they would consider releasing more of the series in North America, possibly with an English dub. This never occurred.

On July 1, 2016, Crunchyroll announced that they would be releasing the series on Blu-ray and DVD with an English dub. Due to Sentai still owning the rights to the first two series, Crunchyroll chose to dub the most recent series, Gintama°, which consists of Episodes 266 to 316. Crunchyroll began streaming the English dub of the first 12 episodes of the series on February 1, 2017. 12 additional episodes were added weekly.

On November 8, 2019, Hulu add the the English dub of Episode one part 1 of Gintama, before the full dub got release on December 1, 2019, part 2 was not added at that time, The first episode part 1 of the Gintama dub was on Hulu for few days before it was remove on November 15, 2019.

On December 1, 2019, Hulu released the first season of the series with an English dub. The dub was commissioned by The Japan Foundation, who currently has the rights for the first seasons of the series in America, and recorded in Miami, Florida at Universal Cinergia. Upon its release, fans derided the dub for it's own quality, not containing the Ocean cast, along with production mistakes and various translation choices, including Gintoki's name being mispronounced, as well as untranslated titles being narrated outloud (a common practice in Spanish and Portuguese dubbing, which are the majority of Miami's dubbing industry).

In 2021, Eleven Arts licensed Gintama: The Very Final movie for the United States. The dub was recorded and produced primarily in Houston, Texas, containing most of Gintama: The Movie's casting choices for secondary and recurring characters, but bringing back the canadian cast for the 3 main characters: Michael Daingerfield as Gintoki, Jocelyne Loewen as Kagura and Cole Howard as Shinpachi, recording their voices remotely from Vancouver.
