Gintama

Set in an alternate timeline, where aliens have taken over feudal Japan. As a result, a prohibition on the way of the samurai is established and Japan becomes modernized with the troublesome alien technology.

However one man, Gintoki Sakata, still possesses the heart of the samurai, although from his love of sweets and work as a yorozuya, one might not expect it. Accompanying him in his jack-of-all-trades line of work are Shinpachi Shimura, a pair of glasses with a strong heart, Kagura with her umbrella and seemingly bottomless stomach, as well as Sadaharu, their beast of a dog. Of course, these odd jobs are not always simple, as they frequently have run-ins with the police, ragtag rebels, and assassins, oftentimes leading to humorous but unfortunate consequences.Whatever it takes to make a living, eh? There's no shame in taking on such "minimal" jobs.

Congratulations to Misty for the winning anime.
