But even with well-established, successful genres like shonen anime, some creators aren\u2019t afraid to get creative. Enter <em>Gachiakuta<\/em>, an anime series that follows <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/2020\/12\/29\/22202875\/jujutsu-kaisen-review\">the shonen formula<\/a>, but frames it with a fresh setting that becomes an immediate hook. Based on the manga by Kei Urana, the anime adaptation by Bones Film will begin streaming on Crunchyroll on Sunday, July 6.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The shonen pattern is simple and ubiquitous: The main character is a teenage male who has to overcome trials and battles, which require him to become stronger through training. Along the way, he forges strong bonds with interesting companions, and usually wields a set of impressive powers or abilities. Shonen usually have an uplifting tone and \u2014 with significant exceptions \u2014 avoid dwelling on real-life issues. Or if they do touch on the real world, they make those themes into accessories to the main character\u2019s journey of self-affirmation.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">That formula has worked wonders for the industry since the days of <em>Dragon Ball<\/em>, and it continues to be applied today, even in works that try to push the envelope, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/entertainment\/599846\/dandadan-season-2-new-trailer-opening-op-theme\">such as <em>DanDaDan<\/em><\/a>. While staying true to the strong points of the genre, however, <em>Gachiakuta<\/em> feels immediately different and fresh, which is a big achievement in such a crowded field.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">The story follows 15-year-old Rudo, who lives in the floating city of Sphere, a seemingly spotless paradise where the privileged citizens drop all trash, including the people they brand as criminals, into an abyss known as The Pit. Rudo lives in the slums of the city along with the other Tribe Folk, an inferior caste of people thought to be descendants of criminals. Rudo\u2019s adoptive father Regto took him in when Rudo\u2019s father was sentenced to The Pit for a series of murders. One day, Rudo finds Regto stabbed by a mysterious assailant, and is accused of his adopted father\u2019s murder. As Rudo is thrown into The Pit, he swears he will climb up to Sphere and get his revenge on the citizens who are quick to label anything they don\u2019t like as \u201ctrash.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/gachiakuta-goes-places-ive-never-seen-in-an-anime-series-and-thats-an-instant-win-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"Image: Bones Film\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">But the setting and tone are so striking that they gave me the feeling I was watching the first truly original shonen anime in a long time. Discrimination is a difficult topic to handle in a story targeted mostly at high school students. But in making \u201cdiscarded objects\u201d its central theme, <em>Gachiakuta<\/em> establishes a metaphor that works in plain sight without being cumbersome.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">It\u2019s obvious that the Sphereites\u2019 disregard for objects, and their tendency to throw them away as soon as they are used or faulty, means that \u201cundesirable\u201d people get treated as trash too. And it\u2019s clear that Rudo\u2019s respect for discarded objects and his tendency to see a \u201csoul\u201d in them \u2014 a philosophy that blossoms into his powers \u2014 establishes him as a moral protagonist who wants to make the world a better place.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Still, none of these messages are force-fed to the viewers. They instead arise naturally from a carefully crafted world and environment. The basic idea of having a (literal) trash world, polluted by an uncaring, privileged caste above, creates not just a powerful base narrative, but also a visually striking environment where the characters walk over mountains of garbage and have to wear gas masks to survive. That setting is bleak and cruel. More importantly, it\u2019s different.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/gachiakuta-goes-places-ive-never-seen-in-an-anime-series-and-thats-an-instant-win-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"Image: Bones Film\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">In recent years, mainstream shonen have evolved to embrace more mature themes. Carefree personalities like Goku\u2019s have largelylong been set aside. (There are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/anime\/606780\/yaiba-samurai-legend-aura-solo-leveling-jinwoo\">always throwback exceptions<\/a>.) Modern shonen protagonists, like Deku from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/tv\/2017\/6\/5\/15730554\/my-hero-academia-explained\"><em>My Hero Academia<\/em><\/a> or Denji from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/2020\/10\/6\/21499378\/chainsaw-man-review-shonen-jump\"><em>Chainsaw Man<\/em><\/a><em>,<\/em> have much more serious and traumatic motivations than \u201cI want to become stronger.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">In a sense, these heroes follow the footsteps of Naruto, but in a less egotistical way. (Sorry, <em>Naruto<\/em> fans, but it\u2019s true.) Still, the darkness in these stories is never at the forefront. Deku gets his powers immediately in <em>MHA<\/em>, and spends most of his time living the dream of attending superhero school. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/23528252\/chainsaw-man-endings-songs-anime-finale\">The <em>Chainsaw Man<\/em> world<\/a> is an absolute nightmare, but author Tatsuki Fukimoto chooses to focus most of the story on the silliest slice-of-life aspects of Denji\u2019s life. In<em> Gachiakuta<\/em>, instead, the darkness is everywhere. But in spite of that, the show still comes alive visually.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">I am a massive Bones fan: I believe the studio is unmatched in adapting manga into anime, as proved by <em>Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood <\/em>or <em>My Hero Academia<\/em>, where the manga\u2019s pages come alive on the screen, but the anime never overwrites the source material. (Though I\u2019ve been less impressed with their original work, such as <em>Metallic Rouge<\/em>.) <em>Gachiakuta<\/em> author Kei Urana has such a unique style, and she pours so much attention into the details of her world, that only Bones could do her justice. Making a toxic wasteland such as The Pit come to life was clearly no easy task, but Bones Film achieves that, with a constant juxtaposition of dark undertones and brilliant slashes of color that almost bleed off the screen.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/gachiakuta-goes-places-ive-never-seen-in-an-anime-series-and-thats-an-instant-win-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"Image: Bones Film\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">It\u2019s a teaser of something fans should be looking forward to: the presence of graffiti in the world. In her manga, Urana introduced graffiti designed by artist <a href=\"https:\/\/fandomwire.com\/the-chaos-in-my-mind-comes-out-gachiakuta-creator-on-the-mangas-unique-artstyle\/\">Ando Hideyoshi<\/a>, and they serve not just to add color to the bleakness of The Pit, but also as avenues for freedom of expression for the series\u2019 characters. I can\u2019t wait to see how Bones will adapt and exalt this element in the anime.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/gachiakuta-goes-places-ive-never-seen-in-an-anime-series-and-thats-an-instant-win-4.jpg\" alt=\"Promotional Gachiakuta art with the main characters of the anime standing in front of graffiti that reads \u201cHere Comes Gachiakuta\u201d\" title=\"Promotional Gachiakuta art with the main characters of the anime standing in front of graffiti that reads \u201cHere Comes Gachiakuta\u201d\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"\" data-portal-copyright=\"Image: Bones Film\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">My only criticism of the first two episodes of <em>Gachiakuta<\/em> is that I wish the series were even darker. The most powerful scene is Rudo falling into The Pit at the end of episode 1, cursing the Sphereites and saying, \u201cAll of you, I\u2019ll kill you all\u2026\u201d That moment sets the tone for a dark, powerful tale of revenge, but the following episode shifts to a more traditional shonen tone, with jokes and comedic moments interspersed between action sequences. I understand the rationale, but I still believe this premise would have perhaps been better suited for a <a href=\"https:\/\/otakukart.com\/top-25-seinen-anime-of-all-time\/\">seinen series<\/a> aimed at an adult audience, and thus allowed to dwell on the more serious themes of the story.<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Nonetheless, <em>Gachiakuta<\/em> seems poised to be the hit of the summer 2025 anime season. It\u2019s telling that its biggest contender is the second cour of <em>DanDaDan <\/em>season 1, another series that innovates within the shonen formula, without losing sight of what made this genre so successful to begin with.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\"><em>Gachiakuta<\/em> begins streaming on Crunchyroll on July 6 at 11 a.m. ET.
