SYNOPSIS: Odd
Jobs Gin has taken on a lot of odd work in the past, and when you're a
Jack of All Trades agency based in a feudal Japan that's been conquered
and colonized by aliens, the term "Odd Jobs" means REALLY ODD jobs. But
when some more than slightly suspicious secrets from the shadows of
Gintoki Sakata's somewhat shady former samurai past and a new pair of
odd jobs collide, the action is bound to get so wild and demented that
only a feature film will do it justice! So, if you've had the good
fortune to see Gintama, Japan's most popular science fiction samurai
series before, get ready for more of the same on an epic scale! And if
you haven't seen Gintama before, well, this is your quick and easy
introduction to why Gintama (the series) is the hottest thing to hit the
Land of the Rising Sun since a certain large, green reptile whose name
we can't use due to certain litigious lawyers! So sit down, strap
yourself in and make sure you're not wearing anything too tight or
constricting as the junior half of OJG takes on the task of tracking
down a tenacious terrorist while their silver-haired slickster of a
partner seeks out a certain sword in the stunningly side-splitting
screwy GINTAMA!
