“Gintama: Yoshiwara in Flames” – the latest iteration of the “Gintama” story – previewed this week at Lucca Comics and Games, Europe’s largest Comic-Con, prior to a theatrical release in Italy. Variety spoke with director Naoya Andô and producer Ryo Nakamuray about their continuation of the saga.

“Gintama” started life as a manga, authored and drawn by Hideaki Sorachi. Set in an alternative, sci-fi version of late-Edo-period Tokyo, the Earth has been invaded by the Amanto, an alien species, and three friends set off on a personal mission.
