Gintama Season 2 English Sub & Dub

About Gintama Season 2

Gintama Season 2 (銀魂’) blends action, comedy and drama by Sunrise (2011). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. In short: After a one-year hiatus, Shinpachi Shimura returns to Edo, only to stumble upon a shocking surprise: Gintoki and Kagura, his fellow Yorozuya members, have become completely different characters! Fleeing from the Yorozuya headquarters in confusion, Shinpachi stumbles on that all the denizens of Edo have undergone impossibly extreme changes, in both appearance and personality.

Beyond that: Most unbelievably, his sister Otae has married the Shinsengumi chief and shameless stalker Isao Kondou and is pregnant with their first child. Bewildered, Shinpachi agrees to join the Shinsengumi at Otae and Kondou's request and comes across even more startling transformations afoot both in and out of the ranks of the the organization. However, discovering that Vice Chief Toushirou Hijikata has remained unchanged, Shinpachi and his unlikely Shinsengumi ally set out to return the metropolis of Edo to how they remember it.

With action at the core, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Gintoki Sakata (Tomokazu Sugita) and Shinpachi Shimura (Daisuke Sakaguchi) are two of the characters you will meet early. If you count yourself among viewers who like fast, high-impact fights, put it on your list. The run is 51 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.
