“Gachiakuta” follows Rudo, a young outcast in a dystopian society. Rudo lives in the slums of a floating town, where the poor scrape by under the shadow of the rich who live a sumptuous life. The rich spend their days casting garbage off the side, into the abyss.

Then, Rudo is falsely accused of murder. His wrongful conviction leads to an unimaginable punishment: exile off the edge with the rest of the trash. Down on the surface, the cast-off waste of humanity has bred vicious monsters. Ultimately, if Rudo wants to have any hope of discovering the truth and seeking vengeance against those who cast him into Hell, he will have to master a new power and join a group known as the Cleaners who battle the hulking trash beasts of the Pit!

Asa Suehira, Crunchyroll’s Chief Content Officer, says, “‘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.”

Leading the anime is first-time series director Fumihiko Suganuma (chief episode director and storyboard artist on “Train to the End of the World”). The series composition is by Hiroshi Seko (“DAN DA DAN,” “Chainsaw Man”). Also, Satoshi Ishino (“Tokyo Mew Mew New”) will serve as the series’ character designer and chief animation director. The music for the series will be created by renowned composer Taku Iwasaki (“Bungo Stray Dogs,” “Shin Kamen Rider”).

“Gachiakuta” is an action manga written and illustrated by manga artist Kei Urana and graffiti artist Hideyoshi Andou. It began serialization in Kodansha’s Weekly Shonen Magazine in February 2022. Furthermore, the series won the Global Special Prize in the “Comics” category of the Next Manga Awards 2022. While developing the concept for the series, Urana thought that incorporating graffiti art would make it more interesting. Urana then enlisted the help of graffiti artist, Hideyoshi Andou.

Hiroshi Seko, Screenwriter of “Gachiakuta,” says:

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.

Kei Urana says, “I hope this anime stays in your soul! I’m looking forward to watching the ‘Gachiakuta’ anime together with you all!”

Hideyoshi Andou says, “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!”
