Alright, anime fans, buckle up because Gachiakuta is coming, and it’s about to be absolutely wild. We’re talking about this completely punk-styled, trash-drenched, grunge-soaked, action-packed ride through a world where people literally get thrown away.
And now that the new promo video has come out, we have another reason to be totally hyped: the studio behind My Hero Academia: Vigilantes is doing the animation on this series. And honestly, that is excellent news. Let’s break down why that matters.
Why Gachiakuta needs the right hands
If you think Gachiakuta is just another ‘angsty boy gets powers and fights evil’ kind of story, think again. This world is nuts, like society just discards people like trash. This is a world where society throws people away like garbage, literally. Our protagonist, Rudo, gets framed, sent to this junkyard, and somehow he manages to survive in a world that’s all trash and danger.
Now he’s using discarded junk to fight back. It’s rough. It’s unusual. It’s disgusting (in a cool way). And it needs an animation studio that can get down and dirty with it. Enter: the Vigilantes crew. Honestly, Studio Bones is legendary. These are the folks behind Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, Mob Psycho 100, and My Hero Academia.

They’ve got the sauce, the skills, and the style. They can handle big emotions, chaotic fights, and wild visuals like nobody else. But here’s the kicker: Bones has different branches. When they were busy with My Hero Academia, they handed the Vigilantes adaptation to a different crew under their umbrella, Bones Film. And instead of flopping, it slapped hard.
You know how some anime feel like they’re trying too hard to be flashy or mainstream? Vigilantes totally skipped that nonsense. It had its own cool style, a unique personality, and this gritty, underground feel that just clicked. Why? Because Bones Film was given room to breathe. They weren’t worried about going up against those shiny, high-budget MHA episodes.
They were free to get gritty and focus on the vibe, and that’s where Gachiakuta lives, too. In the grime. In the chaos. In the emotionally-charged dumpster fire of a world where junk is power and anger is fuel. So, if Gachiakuta is getting that same treatment? We’re eating good, folks.
Not having the main Studio Bones? That’s actually great
If you haven’t watched the most recent promo video of Gachiakuta, drop whatever you’re doing and watch it immediately:
Okay, now that you’re back and your jaw’s somewhere on the floor, now let’s discuss what we just witnessed. That trash world looks disgustingly beautiful. The colors pop. The character designs are crisp. The fight animations already promise to pack a punch like a truck full of scrap metal. This is exactly the kind of raw energy Gachiakuta deserves.
Look, we all know Studio Bones’ A-team is great, right? But hear me out, they’re giving Gachiakuta to Bones Film is a genius move. They’ve already proven they can take a dark, underdog tale and make something great out of it in their own quirky, cool way. This isn’t a downgrade, it’s a creative blessing in disguise.
So, if Vigilantes was the hidden gem of the My Hero Academia world, Gachiakuta could be the breakout punk-rock star of anime’s next generation. So grab your favorite piece of scrap metal, prep your trash aesthetic, and get ready, because this anime is about to take the phrase ‘from the gutter to greatness’ to a whole new level. And honestly? Trash has never looked this damn cool.
Gachiakuta anime is set to premiere in July 2025.
