Quick Links
In March, a newGintamaanime was announced. It’s not a sequel or a prequel, but the adaptation of a spin-off light novel series, titled3-Nen Z-Gumi Ginpachi-Senseiin Japanese (it means something likeTeacher Ginpachi, 3rd Year Z Class).
Since then, not much information has been revealed since then, except a visual and the 2025 release window. This series is not entirely new to anime fans, the original anime adapted parts of it at the end of the episodes (they’re justhumorous skitsunrelated to the episode’s plot).
Well, nowit has been confirmed that production will drop new information at Jump Festa 2025, later this month. It has been previously revealed thatthe anime is slated for 2025, so we might get a more detailed release window or even the premiere date. We can also expect they will drop a new trailer.
