Created by manga artist Hideaki Sorachi, the hilarious series "Gintama" celebrated its 20th anniversary last year. Beloved by fans for its unique blend of sharp wit, deadpan retorts, nonsensical gags, and surprisingly serious plotlines, the franchise recently announced that a TV anime adaptation of its spin-off novel, "3-nen Z-gumi Ginpachi-sensei," is set to premiere in October 2025.
Now, the official channels have revealed the latest collaboration news: "Gintama" is teaming up with Japanese eyewear brand Zoff to release a collection of character-inspired glasses! Pre-orders are already live on the official website.
Zoff is no stranger to popular IPs, having previously collaborated with "Chiikawa" and "Jujutsu Kaisen," with those past collections receiving rave reviews.
This "Gintama" collaboration features eight distinct eyewear styles, each inspired by a beloved character: Gintoki Sakata, Shinpachi Shimura, Kagura, Toshiro Hijikata, Sougo Okita, Kotaro Katsura, Shinsuke Takasugi, and Kamui. Designed for everyday wear, each pair is meticulously crafted with subtle nods to its respective character, making them a must-have for any "Gintama" fan looking for new specs!
▼ The collaboration also features special illustrations of the characters sporting their new eyewear. (Shinpachi, of course, doesn't need them, LOL!)
Every pair of glasses cleverly integrates elements of its corresponding character throughout the design and comes with a cleaning cloth featuring the exclusive collaboration artwork.
