The last issue of Weekly Shonen Jump reported that the Gintama television anime series is drawing to a close on TV Tokyo after five years.
The original TV series adaptation of Hideaki Sorachi sci-fi historical comedy premiered on April 4, 2006 and aired until March 25, 2010.
The 252nd episode is titled "Gomen Nasai" (We're Sorry), although the previous week's next-episode preview listed the title as "Mitei" ("To Be Determined").
Starting on April 2, the animated television series Gon will air on TV Tokyo at 6:00 p.m. on Mondays — Gintamas current timeslot.
