Gachiakuta is easily one of the best anime hits introduced this summer, and its thrilling blend of fantasy and dark social commentary is likely to thank.

The series followed Rudo Surebrec, a down-on-his-luck guy who lives in a city divided by a harsh class system: criminals and undesirable citizens are thrown into the depths of a huge hole in the ground, known as The Pit. While the wealthy live in the fancy neighbourhoods of a floating city, The Pit is a trash-filled wasteland, home to a group called the Cleaners. This group fight back against the toxic monsters who roam The Pit.

With the original Gachiakuta manga being 140 chapters long, there's a ton of material for the anime series to play around with. For now though, we've still got 10 plus episodes to go, leading right up until December.

It even has a brand new opening theme too, which you can check out over on the official Gachiakuta account on X.
