'Gintama: Porori-hen' Air Date, Spoilers: Sixth Season to Premiere in October With New Anime-Original Content?
Gintoki Sakata and the rest of the Yorozuya return for the sixth season of the Japanese anime series, "Gintama," which will be adapting the Porori Arc this time around.
The said arc is believed to feature some original content that has not been seen on the manga series yet.
There is currently very little information on what this particular arc is all about. Even the official TV Tokyo page of the series advises fans looking for the upcoming installment's trailer to not be too concerned about it and to instead spend their time waiting by watching live-action movies until the series finally premieres in October.
