Gachiakuta coming to Crunchyroll
March 14, 2025
Crunchyroll has announced that new shonen series, Gachiakuta, will stream exclusively on the anime platform in July.
Produced by the renowned studio Bones Film (My Hero Academia, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood), Gachiakuta is set in the dystopian floating city known as The Sphere, where both rubbish and criminals are cast into an endless abyss. With a graffiti-inspired art style, Gachiakuta follows Rudo, a young outcast framed for murder and exiled into a wasteland known as The Pit. After surviving his descent into this new world, he now must fight to survive against monstrous Trash Beasts while navigating a brutal world, hoping to return to his home and seek vengeance.
The anime is directed by Fumihiko Suganuma (Train to the End of the World), with screenwriter Hiroshi Seko (Chainsaw Man, Jujutsu Kaisen), and character designer and chief animation director Satoshi Ishino (Date A Live, Tokyo Mew Mew New). The music for the series is created by composer Taku Iwasaki (Bungo Stray Dogs, Shin Kamen Rider).
“When I’m writing the scripts for Gachiakuta, it makes me want to blast my music. It makes me want to go out and have some fun. And it gives me the urge to meet up with my work buddies and friends for a good meal. An anime that makes you feel that way is the best. I mean that from the bottom of my heart,” said Seko.
“I hope this anime stays in your soul! I’m looking forward to watching the Gachiakuta anime together with you all,” said Kei Urana, co-creator of Gachiakuta.
“I hope the passion that Gachiakuta inspires reaches all of you! As you watch the animated Gachiakuta, I hope everyone feels the same spark of motivation,” added Hideyoshi Andou, co-creator of Gachiakuta.
“Gachiakuta stands out as one of the most unique shonen anime in recent years, blending intense action with a striking artistic style. Crunchyroll is proud to partner with Kodansha and Bones Film to bring this exciting new story to fans worldwide, exclusively to the Crunchyroll streaming service,” commented Asa Suehira, Crunchyroll’s Chief Content Officer.
