The Eiga.com website Yōichi Fujita addressed the issue of the television anime series' continuation at the "Gintama Haru Matsuri 2010 (Ka)" event in Tokyo on Thursday: "The creator [Hideaki] Sorachi didn't come today, and I think he's undoubtedly writing new story scripts. Once we have gathered the stock material, we staff want to work on it again."
Shinji Takamatsu, the other main director of the Gintama anime, told the audience of 10,000 that "Gintama is absolutely not over. It hasn't even begun yet! It will definitely return."
The final listed episode of the television series aired this past week, and the ship the first DVD set of the anime next month.
