The series from Bones Film and screenwriter Hiroshi Seko seeks to ‘overthrow the status quo and change the world’ when it streams this Summer.
Crunchyroll has announced that Gachiakuta, the anime based on the Kodansha Weekly Shonen Magazine manga by Kei Urana and graffiti artist Hideyoshi Andou, will stream exclusively this Summer.
“Gachiakuta stands out as one of the most unique shonen anime in recent years, blending intense action with a striking artistic style,” said Asa Suehira, Crunchyroll CCO. “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.”
Produced by Bones Film (My Hero Academia; Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood), the series 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 must fight to survive against monstrous Trash Beasts while navigating a brutal world hoping to return to his home and seek vengeance.

Fumihiko Suganuma directs from a script by Hiroshi Seko (DAN DA DAN; Chainsaw Man; JUJUTSU KAISEN)). Satoshi Ishino (Date A Live; Tokyo Mew Mew New) serves as character designer and chief animation director. The music is created by Taku Iwasaki.
“When I’m writing the scripts for Gachiakuta, it makes me want to blast my music,” said Seko. “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.”
