Hyderabad: Crunchyroll is taking "trash television" quite literally. The anime streaming service has announced that Gachiakuta, the next big shonen anime, will stream exclusively on its platform from Summer 2025. Based on the manga currently serialized in Kodansha’s Weekly Shonen Magazine, Gachiakuta promises thrilling action, unique graffiti-inspired art, and a gripping revenge-driven storyline.
Gachiakuta is produced by the famous studio Bones Film, known for My Hero Academia and Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. The anime is set in a dystopian world, a floating city where both trash and criminals are thrown into a bottomless abyss.
The story follows Rudo, a young outcast who is framed for murder and exiled to a wasteland called The Pit. Surviving the harsh new world, Rudo must fight monstrous Trash Beasts while navigating a brutal society. His goal: to return home and seek revenge.
Crunchyroll has acquired the global streaming rights, excluding Belarus, Russia, and Asia (but including India). This means that anime fans worldwide can enjoy Gachiakuta.
Team Behind the Anime
Fumihiko Suganuma makes his debut as series director. He previously worked as the chief episode director and storyboard artist for Train to the End of the World.
Hiroshi Seko (writer for Chainsaw Man, JUJUTSU KAISEN, Attack on Titan Final Season) handles the series composition.
Satoshi Ishino (known for Date A Live and Tokyo Mew Mew New) is the character designer and chief animation director.
Taku Iwasaki, composer of Bungo Stray Dogs and Shin Kamen Rider, will create the music.
About Gachiakuta's Manga
Gachiakuta is a unique action manga written by Kei Urana and illustrated by graffiti artist Hideyoshi Andou. It began serialization in Kodansha’s Weekly Shonen Magazine in February 2022 and won the Global Special Prize at the 2022 Next Manga Awards. Urana wanted to bring graffiti art into the manga to make it stand out, and Andou’s artwork adds a distinctive flair.
Creator Insights
Hiroshi Seko, the screenwriter, said, "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.
