Gintama
Synopsis: Edo is a city that housed the vigor and ambition of samurai throughout the country. However, after the surrender of feudal Japan to powerful aliens known as "Amanto", these aspirations now seem unattainable. With the once -influential shorts rebuilt as a puppet government, a new law that promptly forbids all swords in public is passed.
Enter Gintoki Sakata, an eccentric man with silver hair who always carries a wooden sword and keeps his stature as a samurai, despite the ban. As a founder of Yorozuya, a small business for strange jobs, Gintoki usually embarks on efforts to help others - although usually in quite strange and unforeseen ways.
Assisted by Shinpachi Shimura, a boy with glasses supposedly learning the path of the samurai; Kagura, a moleca girl with force on -human and an endless appetite; And Sadaharu, his giant animal dog that loves to bite people's heads, Yorozuya finds anything from alien royalty to local gangs in the world in a constantly changing Edo.
