In addition, a new action visual featuring Jabber was also released after the broadcast of the anime’s seventh episode.
Fumihiko Suganuma (Train to the End of the World chief episode director, T.P Bon Episode 6 storyboard artist and director) is directing the anime series, with Hiroshi Seko (Wind Breaker, Jujutsu Kaisen) as series screenwriter, Satoshi Ishino (Godzilla Singular Point) as character designer and chief animation director, and Yoshino Matsumoto as sub character designer and chief animation director. BONES FILM (credited under Studio Bones at the time of announcement) is handling the animation production.
The anime is based on the dark fantasy action manga series by Kei Urana (with graffiti art by Hideyoshi Ando), which was first serialized in Kodansha’s Weekly Shonen Magazine on February 16, 2022. Fifteen tankobon volumes have been released as of June 2025, with a 16th volume set to be published in Japan on September 17, 2025. Kodansha USA publishes the series in English.
The manga was also a Shonen Category finalist in the 47th and 48th Kodansha Manga Award, respectively.
Crunchyroll is streaming Gachiakuta worldwide, outside of Japan, and describes the main synopsis as:
Crawl back from the abyss of Hell to change this lousy world!
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, simply casting their garbage off the side, into the abyss. Then one day, he’s falsely accused of murder, and 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, and 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!
