In Japan, the Gintama manga has been popular, with over 58 million copies in circulation by December 2023, making it one of the best-selling manga series. Carlo Santos from Anime News Network found the manga to be a "one-of-a-kind comedy" praising the characters' personalities and gags. It included 40 tracks but it did not have TV versions of the opening and ending themes from the series.

On December 21, 2014, during Jump Festa's super stage event, it was announced that a new Gintama TV series was in the works for an April 2015 premiere.

Although the film is marketed as "Final" director Yoichi Fujita commented they would make a continuation if it became a hit. For example, Gintoki's former comrade Shinsuke Takasugi is a major antagonist who regards Gintoki and his other former comrades as enemies and seeks to destroy the shogunate.Gintoki's exaggerated desire to read the Weekly Shōnen Jump (which causes him to fight other readers to get it) also makes fun of shōnen series, since during those parts characters quote them. Other negative comments regarding the manga have the few numbers of aliens appearing in the series as well as how some chapters are focused on fights such as Hijikata's fight against Gintoki.

A series of three anime character guidebooks titled Gintama Character Book ( 銀魂キャラクターズブック, Gintama Kyarakutazu Bukku) have also been published in Japan within 2010.

When working on a chapter of Gintama, Sorachi sometimes had problems finishing the manuscript, leaving his supervisor to take it before he can revise it.Renhō's representative denied having objected to the episode although a report from the newspaper Mainichi Shimbun stated the affected party contacted TV Tokyo. The ending of the series was criticized as for its messy storytelling where multiple plots are explained but not all are solved as the title instead focuses on telling multiple jokes from different point of views. The show hasn't let the fame go to its head and ended up with a mediocre anime that runs off of the back of its fame. The film, titled Gintama: The Final in Japan and Gintama: The Very Final in the West, premiered on January 8, 2021. Impressed by Gintoki, Shinpachi becomes his freelance apprentice to pay the bills and learn more about the enigmatic samurai.
