Gintama’: Futon ni Haitte kara Buki Nokoshi ni Kizuite Neru ni Nerenai Toki mo Aru
Hailed as one of the most colorfully comedic and mysteriously deep anime movies of all time, Gintama’: Futon ni Haitte kara Buki Nokoshi ni Kizuite Neru ni Nerenai Toki mo Aru is a tour de force in storytelling. This film is set in alternate-history Edo-period Japan, where aliens have taken over and samurai like our protagonist, Sakata Gintoki, have lost their former power and prestige. Even with these odd circumstances, Gintoki and his ragtag band of friends find themselves embroiled in hilarious shenanigans, yet also act as freelance problem-solvers for the city’s quirky inhabitants.
The film begins when Gintoki finds himself accidentally leaving his sword in bed as he rushes out for the day. As swords are outlawed under the alien rule, the majority of the plot revolves around this seemingly insignificant occurrence as Gintoki and his friends, along with a few enemies, attempt to retrieve it and wink at breaking the law. The film wonderfully combines thoughtful commentary on authority and society’s norms with Gintama’s signature outrageous and slapstick humor.
