There is some really massive news for the Gintama fandom today. A brand new promotional video (PV) featuring our favourite tax-collecting samurai, the Shinsengumi, has finally been dropped.

Fans have been waiting quite eagerly for a proper look at how the Shinsengumi fits into this specific retelling, and the wait is officially over.
