Reasons Why You Should Watch Gachikuta

Let me start off by saying this: This anime is one of the best summer 2025 anime’s I have seen since both Attack On Titan and Mob Psycho 100. Everything in this anime is peak. I’m talking about from the art style, to the story, to the very intricate details on the background in every episode to the voice actors, EVERYTHING! One cool thing about this anime is the creator. The creator of Gachiakuta  Kei Urana, was an assistant for the man who created anime’s like Soul Eater and Fire Force, Atsushi Ohkubo.

Background: Teenage Rudo is one of the hated “Tribesfolk” who lives in the slums of The Sphere – a partitioned society floating high above the clouds. Not only does he belong to a socio-economic underclass oppressed by the rich, wasteful, and cleanliness-obsessed city folk, his peers look down on him for being the son of a deceased murderer. When he’s framed for the murder of his foster father Regto, Rudo is thrown down from The Sphere into The Pit, an enormous garbage dump from which no one has ever returned.
