About “Gachiakuta”
“Gachiakuta” follows Rudo, a young outcast falsely accused of murder and exiled into the wasteland known as The Pit. Facing monstrous Trash Beasts and a world stacked against him, Rudo must rise from the depths and challenge the power structures that discarded him.
The series blends shonen action with a distinct graffiti-infused art style. It is directed by rising talent Fumihiko Suganuma, making his directorial debut, with series composition by Hiroshi Seko (“Attack on Titan,” “Chainsaw Man,” “JUJUTSU KAISEN”), and music by Taku Iwasaki (“Bungo Stray Dogs”).
The opening theme is “HUGs” by Paledusk. The globally rising four-piece band infuses their hardcore sound with the emotional resonance of Gachiakuta’s world. The ending theme is” TOMOSHIBI“ by DUSTCELL. Known for their dark, evocative compositions, the duo brings a deeply personal touch that mirrors Rudo’s journey.
Gita Rebbapragada, Chief Operating Officer at Crunchyroll, said:
