An anime adaptation of "Gachiakuta" is coming; here's everything fans need to know

 Jul 24, 2024

One of the most renowned studios in the field is Studio Bones, renowned for adapting famous manga, such as My Hero Academia, Soul Eater, Mob Psycho 100, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, and Ouran High School Host Club. A few new releases have been revealed by the studio, including the highly anticipated shojo anime The Magical Girl and the Evil Lieutenant Used To Be Archenemies and the continuation of the very underappreciated Sk8 the Infinity. Among their latest announcements, however, the adaptation of Kei Urana's Gachiakuta. Gachiakuta is by far the most exciting. The Rudo, a person descended from criminals banished from society, sometimes known as a tribesman. Rudo hates the higher class for abandoning their waste at a vast dump site known simply as "The Pit," where the other tribe members reside. Rudo was informed as a youngster by Regto, the man who adopted him, that his real father had been cast into The Pit for a crime he had committed before Rudo was even conceived. Rudo arrives home the next day after searching the scene and discovers Regto dead; he is the main suspect.

What distinguishes Gachiakuta as a special shonen show?

Gachiakuta stands out in how it addresses issues like wealth and class disparities, the legal system, and other contemporary sociopolitical concerns, even though the shonen population is no stranger to grunge and grime. Apart from being emotionally charged, Gaciakuta is jam-packed with action-packed scenes. The main character is thrown into The Pit and is given the chance to serve as a Cleaner, a special function assigned to "Givers" that Rudo activates in himself. He also gets to battle with a select group of people who seek and slay garbage animals.Those who like quirky anime series such as Soul Eater or the much-maligned Dorohedoro will find Gachiakuta to have a distinctive visual style and storytelling approach. In anticipation of the animated series, fans may read the manga in English print and digital versions at Barnes & Noble, Walmart, and Books-A-Million. It serializes in Kodansha's Weekly Shonen Magazine.
