  1. (ESP-ENG) Gachiakuta - Anime Review!@javyeslava.photo197d

    **

    Hello friends, good vibes to all.

    **

    Hola amigos, buenas vibras para todos.

    Source!

    On Sunday, one of the best anime of the year finally came to an end. Gachiakuta, with its 24th episode, reached its conclusion after delivering a story completely different from what we've seen lately. From the very beginning, it was clear it had great potential. It's really cool to see things that break away from the mainstream in terms of plot, and, I'll say it again, I think this anime is incomparable to many of the things out there. Obviously, it's a shonen anime with high doses of action and comedy, where the character development and their interactions are key to its high quality.

    El día domingo finalmente terminó uno de los mejores anime del año. Gachiakuta con su episodio 24 llegó a su final luego de habernos dado una historia 100% diferente de lo que hemos visto últimamente y es que desde los inicios ya se sabía que pintaba maneras. Es muy cool ver cosas que salen del mainstream en lo que a trama se refiere y es que, vuelvo y repito, creo que este anime no es comparable con muchas de las cosas que hay por ahí afuera. Obviamente es un shonen con altas dosis de acción y comedia en donde el desarrollo de los personajes y sus interacciones son la clave para la calidad tan grande que tiene.

    Ludo is a young man who was expelled from his home (the sphere) and ended up on Terra, a kind of endless garbage dump at the bottom of the earth. There he meets the Cleaners, people who are in charge of destroying the mutant garbage beasts and maintaining order in this underworld. They welcome Ludo and treat him as one of their own. The thing is, he only thinks about revenge, as he wants to make those who threw him out of his home pay, but that will have to wait. The twist is that each of these people, including Ludo, has the ability to possess a precious object and bring it to life, using it as a weapon. This will be key to the entire story.

    Rudo es un joven que expulsado del lugar donde vivía (la esfera) para terminar en Terra, una especie de basurero infinito que está al fondo de todo. Allí él conoce a los limpiadores, unas personas que se encargan de destruir a las bestias mutantes de basura y de mantener el orden en ese submundo. Ellos le dan la bienvenida a Ludo y lo acogen como uno más. La cosa es que él solo piensa en venganza ya que quiere hacer pagar a los que lo botaron de su hogar pero eso tendrá que esperar para él. La novedad es que cada una de estas personas, incluido Ludo, tiene la habilidad de poseer un objeto preciado y darle vida para así usarlos como armas. Esto será clave en toda la historia.

    Basically, the plot revolves around Rudo's adaptation to the Cleaners group while they search for answers on how to get back onto the sphere, as that's the protagonist's main motivation. Along the way, they encounter obstacles, such as the Raiders, another group whose goal is to destroy the sphere and collect a series of objects that several of the characters have in common. As I said, this anime is one of the best I've seen because it manages to differentiate itself so successfully from almost everything else. The first thing you notice is that its plot is a kind of metaphor for how society works, one that discards the weakest through oppression and the clear pollution we're experiencing as a planet. This is the most basic idea.

    Basicamente la trama es la adaptación de Rudo al grupo de los Limpiadores al mismo tiempo que buscan respuestas de cómo volver a subir a la esfera ya que ese el motor principal de nuestro protagonista. En el camino se encontrarán obstáculos, como los Raiders, otro grupo de gente que lo que buscan es destruir la esfera y recolectar una serie de objetos que varios de los personajes tienen en común. Como dije, el anime es de lo mejor que he visto porque logra diferenciarse con mucho éxito de casi todo lo demás. Lo primero que percibes es que su trama es una especie de metáfora de como funciona la sociedad, una que descarta a los más débiles a través de la opresión y de la clara contaminación que estamos viviendo como planeta. Esto es lo más básico.

    One of the things I loved most was the anime's aesthetic in every sense. The character designs and animation style are unique; it can be very friendly and funny, but then a second later it shifts to something incredibly dark and disturbing. The looks, the facial expressions, a simple smile—everything visual is amazing. And then, of course, there are the action scenes, which are on another level, incredibly fluid and with spectacular detail. There are few anime like this in this genre. I think that's what I enjoyed most.

    De las cosas que más me gustaron es la estética del anime en todos los sentidos. El diseño de los personajes y la forma de animación creo que son únicas, puede ser muy amigable y graciosa pero un segundo después pasa a algo tremendamente oscura y perturbadora. Las miradas, las expresiones faciales, una simple sonrisa; todo lo visual es increíble. Además claro está de cuando llega la acción con las escenas de peleas que son de otro nivel, muy fluidas y con un detalle espectacular. Hay pocos anime como este en el departamento que estamos hablando. Creo que es lo que más disfruté.

    And well, the real strength, without a doubt, lies in the characters. Their development is phenomenal because they provide a lot of context to help you understand who they really are, something commonly used in many anime. The ability to delve into the depths of each character's life to create the necessary connection is vital to this story. Rudo, Amo, and Zanka are some you should pay special attention to, as they are truly top-tier characters. But the villains are also impressive: Jabber, for me, is one of the best in all of anime. When you have a story where the characters stand out so much more than the plot itself, you know it's going to be an epic anime.

    Y bueno el verdadero punto fuerte sin dudas son los personajes. El desarrollo de ellos es brutal porque tienden a dar mucho contexto para entender quienes son realmente, algo muy usado por muchos anime. La capacidad de profundizar en lo más hondo de las vidas de cada uno para poder hacer el click necesario es vital en esta trama. Rudo, Amo, Zanka, son algunos a los que deberían de prestar especial atención ya que son personajes muy top. Pero es que los enemigos también son impresionantes: Jabber, para mi es de los mejores de todo el anime. Cuando tienes una historia en donde destacan tanto sus personajes por encima de la propia trama es porque sabes que será un anime épico.

    This ends with a series of interesting cliffhangers, setting the stage for the already announced second season. The anime reaches a high climax in its second half, then eases off, giving us a relaxed conclusion with scenes containing key information that left us eager for more. In short, a spectacular anime that everyone should watch; it's a must-see. It's action-packed, the comedy is really cool—you'll laugh at everyone's antics—but there's also violence, gore, and some intense drama. 100% recommended. I've included the trailer below.

    Esto termina con una serie de cliffhanger interesantes para darle pie a la segunda temporada la cual ya está anunciada. El anime en su segunda mitad llega a un clímax muy alto para después bajar la guardia y darnos un cierre relajado pero con escenas que tienen información top y que nos dejaron a la expectativa. En fin, un anime espectacular y que todo el mundo debería de ver, no tiene pérdida. Acción, la comedia es muy cool, te ries con las ocurrencias de todos, pero también hay violencia, gore y un drama bien intenso. Recomendado a todos 100%. Les dejo el tráiler por acá abajo.

    Hello, anime fans. We continue with all the action that the last summer season brought us. This time, I'm here to talk to you about a new animated series that really caught my interest. It's one of those anime series considered in this industry to be the future "promises of Shōnen" thanks to the enormous success of its original work. Based on the manga series of the same name written and illustrated by Kei Urana, Gachiakuta is an animated adaptation produced by Bones Film studio. Discover one of today's most famous anime series, which has the potential to become one of your favorites.

    SPANISH VERSION

    Hola, fanáticos del anime. Seguimos con toda la acción que nos trajo la pasada temporada de verano. Esta vez vengo hablarles de una nueva serie animada que me interesó bastante. Es uno de esos animes considerados en esta industria como las futuras “promesas del Shōnen” gracias al enorme éxito que obtuvo su obra original. Basada en la serie de manga homónima escrita e ilustrada por Kei Urana, Gachiakuta es una adaptación animada producida por el estudio Bones Film. Conoce a uno de los animes más famosos de la actualidad y con más potencial de ser una de tus obras favoritas.

    Plot

    The anime begins by showing us a city divided into two sections: the first section is for the upper class, where wealthy and important people live, while the second section is for the lower class, home to criminals and poor families. It is here that we meet Rudo, our protagonist, who has been raised since childhood in the second section alongside the poor and criminals. Rudo spends his free time rummaging through the trash that the upper class constantly discards, looking for valuable items to sell or trade. However, this activity is dangerous, as the upper class is very radical towards the lower class. So much so that any accusation can lead to them being banished to "the depths of the Pit".

    SPANISH VERSION

    Trama

    El anime inicia mostrándonos una ciudad que se divide en dos secciones: la primera sección es la de la clase alta donde vive la gente adinerada e importante, mientras que la segunda sección es para la clase baja dedicada a los criminales y familias pobres. Es aquí donde conocemos a Rudo, nuestro protagonista, quien ha sido criado desde pequeño en la segunda sección junto con los pobres y criminales. Rudo dedica su tiempo libre a hurgar entre la basura que constantemente desecha la gente de la clase alta en busca de cosas valiosas para luego vender o intercambiar. Sin embargo, esta actividad es peligrosa ya que los de la clase alta son muy radicales con los de la clase baja. Tanto es así que por cualquier acusación son desterrados a “las profundidades del Pozo”.

    Next, I'll leave you with the trailer for the anime:

    By: Crunchyroll

    1760866332815.png

    Among the many great comebacks and new surprises that took place last summer, Gachiakuta was definitely one of the most eagerly awaited. I can even tell you that long before it started airing this year, I had heard and read something about this work and how popular it already was in the manga industry. I was very curious to learn that one of the best animation studios today would be adapting this work, and that's how it became one of the ones I was most looking forward to seeing. As always, I don't usually get my hopes up when watching an anime that's just been released, so I tend not to say anything about it until I've finished watching it completely.

    Now that it has just finished airing—on the very day I am writing this—I can give you my honest opinion, free from the influence of third parties who were expecting to see something more than what Gachiakuta gave us in these last two seasons. What I can tell you about this anime at the moment is that it impressed me quite a bit, just as I expected. Its plot, story, and characters are all very interesting, as is the dark and devastated vision of this world that it shows us from the beginning. It's also clear that it deals with somewhat heavy topics, such as classism, wastefulness, and abuse, among other things.

    SPANISH VERSION

    De entre tantos grandes regresos y nuevas sorpresas que hubo en la pasada temporada de verano, definitivamente Gachiakuta fue una de las más esperadas. Incluso puedo decirles que mucho antes de iniciar su emisión este año había escuchado y leído algo acerca de esta obra y de lo popular que ya era en la industria del manga. Me causó mucha curiosidad al enterarme de que uno de los mejores estudios de animación de la actualidad adaptaría dicha obra y así fue como se convirtió en una de las que más esperaba ver. Como siempre, no acostumbro a hacerme muchas ilusiones o esperanzas al momento de ver un anime en pleno estreno, así que por eso suelo no decir nada de la misma sino hasta terminar de verla por completo.

    Ahora que recién ha acabado su emisión -justo el día en el que estoy escribiendo esto- puedo darles mi opinión sincera y libre de influencias de terceros que esperaban ver algo más que lo que llegó a darnos Gachiakuta en estas dos últimas temporadas. Lo que puedo decirles por el momento sobre este anime es que me impresionó bastante, justo como era de esperarse. Tanto su trama como su historia y personajes son de lo más interesantes, así como también la visión oscura y devastada de este mundo que nos muestra desde el principio. También se puede percibir claramente que trata temas un tanto densos, como lo es el clasismo, el despilfarro y el abuso, entre otras cosas.

    From the first episode, we meet the protagonist of this work, Rudo, someone who has been rejected even by his own class. A young man who has grown up and lived among garbage with a very different view of what this world and its people are like. After being banished and thrown into the Pit for an alleged crime, he manages to survive and realizes that everything he knew about this world is completely different. As he wanders through a world full of garbage, danger lurks, and both men with evil intentions and monsters made of garbage seek to end his life. It is here that a man with a frame and an umbrella named Enjin appears.

    From here on, we see many things happen and learn interesting revelations about this world and its people. One of those revelations is that the famous "Pit" mentioned at the beginning is actually the surface, while the place where Rudo came from is called the Sphere. Both he and his savior and now new companion, Enjin, are Givers, people with special abilities to empower a valuable object they call a "Vital Instrument". As expected, our protagonist is very different from most Givers in this world. Enjin, on the other hand, is a Cleaner, someone who does the "dirty work" of keeping this world of garbage monsters as clean as possible.

    SPANISH VERSION

    Desde el primer episodio podemos conocer al protagonista de esta obra, Rudo, alguien que ha sido repudiado hasta incluso entre los de su propia clase. Un joven que ha crecido y vivido entre la basura con una visión muy diferente de lo que es este mundo y su gente. Al ser desterrado y arrojado al Foso por un presunto crimen, este logra sobrevivir y darse cuenta de que todo lo que él sabía de este mundo es completamente diferente. Mientras vaga por un mundo repleto de basura, el peligro lo acecha y tanto hombres con malas intenciones como también monstruos hechos de basura buscan acabar con su vida. Es aquí donde aparece un hombre enmarcado y con sombrilla llamado Enjin.

    A partir de aquí vemos que ocurren muchas cosas y vemos revelaciones interesantes sobre este mundo y su gente. Una de esas revelaciones es que el famoso “Pozo” que mencionan al principio es en realidad la superficie, mientras que el lugar de donde vino Rudo es llamada la Esfera. Tanto él como su salvador y ahora nuevo compañero, Enjin, son Givers, gente con habilidades especiales de darle poder a un objeto valioso al cual llaman “Instrumento Vital”. Como era de esperarse, nuestro protagonista es muy diferente a la mayoría de Givers que existen en este mundo. Enjin, por su parte, es un Limpiador, alguien que hace el “trabajo sucio” de mantener limpio -lo más posible- este mundo de los monstruos de basura.

    As you can imagine, there are several things I really like about this anime. One of them is the original way in which this world full of trash is constructed, with a typical plot involving people who fulfill a role similar to that of heroes or the good guys in movies, with powers and all that. As for the powers, the way they exist in this anime also catches my attention, as they depend heavily on the objects or valuable things that people have. Whether it's a talisman, a necklace, scissors, an umbrella, or gloves, anything has a value that can increase as the owner has a powerful connection to that object. This is how vital instruments are born.

    And I like this because, in a world full of trash where humanity destroyed itself due to waste and excess, the fact that objects have such important value and power for each owner is something that makes you think a lot. While the way these objects are used as weapons to kill monsters or fight dangerous people is somewhat ironic, we can still see how that clear message is manifested throughout this work. Apart from this, another thing I like about this anime is the dystopian tone of this world and the unique way it mixes action with fantasy and drama in a single story.

    SPANISH VERSION

    Como ya se pueden imaginar, hay varias cosas que me gustan mucho de este anime. Una de ellas es la forma tan original de construir este mundo repleto de basura con una trama típica de gente que cumple su función similar a la de los héroes o los buenos de la película con poderes y todo eso. En cuanto a los poderes, la manera en la que esto existe en este anime también me llama la atención ya que depende mucho de los objetos o las cosas valiosas que tiene la gente. Ya sea un talismán, un collar, unas tijeras, una sombrilla o unos guantes, cualquier cosa tiene un valor que puede aumentar a medida que el poseedor tenga una conexión poderosa con dicho objeto. Es así como nacen los instrumentos vitales.

    Y me gusta esto ya que, en un mundo repleto de basura donde la misma humanidad acabó consigo misma debido al despilfarro y los excesos, que los objetos tengan un valor y un poder tan importantes para cada poseedor es algo que te pone a pensar bastante. Si bien la manera en la que se utilizan dichos objetos como armas para acabar con monstruos o pelear contra gente peligrosa es algo irónico, igualmente podemos notar cómo ese mensaje claro se manifiesta en todo momento en esta obra. Aparte de esto, otra cosa más que me gusta de este anime es ese tono distópico que posee este mundo y la manera tan única de mezclar la acción con la fantasía y el drama en una sola historia.

    Although I am now left with many questions about the Givers, the Vital Instruments, their origins, and whatever is guarding the border between the surface and the sphere, I cannot deny that Gachiakuta fascinated me thanks to its well-crafted story. One of the things I noticed many people complained about this anime was how "slow" it was at times. I sincerely disagree with this, as it has many entertaining episodes and moments that are simply unforgettable. What I do want to highlight is that the anime takes its time to tell us every detail of this world and its history, as well as to develop its main characters and antagonists well.

    What many may consider "filler episodes" (which this anime does not have at all) are actually moments in which the series itself tells us the story or life of each of the characters we get to know throughout its episodes. There are unique characters such as Zanka who have a very notable and even admirable development. But there are also other characters, such as Riyo, who make you think a lot about their past due to their behavior at certain key moments. Each character is undoubtedly unique, but the ones who definitely take the prize are both the protagonist (Rudo) and one or two antagonists (Jabber).

    SPANISH VERSION

    Si bien ahora quedé con muchas dudas con respecto a los Givers, los Instrumentos Vitales, sus orígenes y aquello que se encuentra vigilando la frontera entre la superficie y la esfera; no voy a negar que Gachiakuta me fascinó bastante gracias a lo bien hecha que está su historia. Una de las cosas que veo que muchos se quejaban de este anime era lo “lenta” que fue en ciertos momentos. Yo sinceramente no estoy de acuerdo con esto ya que tiene muchos episodios entretenidos y momentos que son simplemente inolvidables. Lo que sí quiero destacar es que el anime se toma su tiempo para contarnos cada detalle de este mundo y de su historia, así como también lograr desarrollar bien a sus personajes principales y antagonistas.

    Lo que puede que a muchos lo consideren “episodios de relleno” (cosa que no tiene este anime en lo absoluto) es en realidad momentos en los que la misma serie nos cuenta la historia o la vida de cada uno de los personajes que vamos conociendo a lo largo de sus capítulos. Hay personajes únicos como lo es Zanka que poseen un desarrollo muy notable y hasta admirable, incluso. Pero también hay otros personajes -como es el caso de Riyo- que te ponen a pensar bastante acerca de su pasado debido a sus conductas en ciertos momentos clave. Cada personaje es único, indudablemente, pero los que definitivamente se llevan el premio mayor son tanto el protagonista (Rudo) como uno que otro antagonista (Jabber).

    On the other hand, in terms of action, it can be said that it has its fair share, although it is not like many other popular action anime. Let's say that every battle or confrontation we see in this series has its own development, but only a few stand out above the rest. This is due to some "power up" of the protagonist or simply because of how well animated and developed the characters and their vital instruments are. There are moments of tension and outcomes that blow your mind or leave you with more questions than ever. But don't expect to see action or explosions all the time in every episode of this anime. You could say that these 24 episodes are like an introduction or presentation of this world and its people.

    But beyond that, another thing I like about this anime is that they also add elements or scenes of comedy with a unique style of humor. Expressions, encounters, or characters that, with their charisma or personality, give that touch of humor and fun to the whole work. The good thing about all this is that Gachiakuta does not rely on fanservice at all (unlike other action anime such as Dandadan, which from the first episode already throws a lot of fanservice at you just to attract the audience). Instead, the appeal of this anime lies in both its animation style and the design of each of the characters. Not only that, but the personalities and attitudes of each one make them completely unique.

    SPANISH VERSION

    Por otro lado, en cuanto a acción se refiere, se puede decir que tiene su buena dosis aunque no es como muchos otros animes de acción populares. Digamos que cada batalla o enfrentamiento que vemos en esta serie tiene su desarrollo, pero solo unos cuantos destacan por sobre todos. Esto debido a algún “power up” del protagonista o simplemente por lo bien animados y desarrollados que están los personajes y sus instrumentos vitales. Hay momentos de tensión y desenlaces que te vuelan la cabeza o te dejan con más dudas que nunca. Pero tampoco es que esperes ver acción o explosiones a cada rato en todos los episodios que tiene este anime. Se puede decir que estos 24 episodios son como la introducción o presentación de este mundo y su gente.

    Pero bueno, más allá de esto, otra cosa que sí me gusta de este anime es que también agregan elementos o escenas de comedia con un estilo de humor único. Expresiones, encuentros o personajes que con su carisma o personalidad le dan ese toque de humor y diversión a toda la obra. Lo bueno de todo esto es que Gachiakuta no depende para nada del fanservice (no como otros animes de acción tipo Dandadan que desde el primer episodio ya te meten un montón de fanservice solo para atraer al público). En cambio, lo atractivo de este anime es tanto su estilo de animación como el diseño que tiene cada uno de los personajes. Y no solo eso, sino que también las personalidades y actitudes de cada uno los hace completamente inigualables.

    If that weren't enough, we also have to mention the heavy themes that the anime deals with from beginning to end. One of the most notable is—as I mentioned before—that of squandering or buying things excessively and not giving each one its true value. As someone from a lower class, I recognize that every object or thing we obtain in life has its value and usefulness, and that only the owner decides how long it will be useful. We mostly encounter people who do not take care of or value the things they have as they should. This is especially true of wealthy people or those in a better economic position, who find it easier to replace one thing with a newer one just because they can.

    This ambition or desire to buy and have things in excess just because they want to and not because they need to is something that has become very common in places where the economy or society normalizes this habit. Gachiakuta is clearly a criticism of all this, showing us a dystopian future where humanity has destroyed itself through excess, polluting the planet with garbage and thus damaging the environment. But I believe that Rudo is the one who can teach us the most about valuing things. Another theme addressed in this anime is abuse and the twisted view of love given to one of its most recognizable characters. That's right, I'm talking about Amo, who has one of those traumatic and heartbreaking stories that this gem of a work possesses.

    SPANISH VERSION

    Si no fuera suficiente, también tenemos que mencionar esos temas densos de los cuales trata el anime de principio a fin. Uno de los más destacables es -como ya les mencioné antes- el de despilfarrar o comprar cosas en exceso y no darles un valor real a cada uno. Como alguien de clase baja que soy, reconozco que cada objeto o cada cosa que obtenemos en la vida tiene su valor y utilidad y que solo es el dueño el que decide hasta cuándo le será útil. Mayormente nos encontramos con gente que no cuidan o no le dan el valor que se merecen a las cosas que tienen. Sobre todo si son gente adinerada o con mejor posición económica que les hace más fácil sustituir una cosa por otra más nueva solo porque sí.

    Esa ambición o deseo de comprar y tener cosas en exceso solo por querer y no por necesidad es algo que se ha vuelto muy común en lugares donde la economía o la sociedad normaliza dicha costumbre. Gachiakuta es claramente una crítica a todo esto, al mostrarnos un futuro distópico donde la humanidad ha acabado consigo misma por los excesos, contaminando el planeta con basura y dañando así el medio ambiente. Pero considero que Rudo es el que más nos puede enseñar lo que es darle un valor a las cosas. Otro de los temas que trata este anime es sobre el abuso y esa visión retorcida que le dan al amor en uno de sus personajes más reconocidos. Así es, estoy hablando de Amo, quien tiene una de esas historias traumáticas y desgarradoras que posee esta joyita de obra.

    As for their antagonists, I can say that one or two of them caught my attention in this anime. However, beyond impressing me, what this enemy team called the Raiders managed to do was entertain me with crazy characters like Jabber, for example. As for the others, there is still much to discover about each of them, which we may see in a future and confirmed second season. But for now, I'll just say that there are certain themes and secrets that intrigue me a little. On the other hand, I forgot to mention something else that I really liked about this anime, and that is its unique and unmatched style. I'm talking not only about the style of dress, but also the art and use of graffiti in this anime.

    Last but not least, let's talk about the audiovisual aspect of Gachiakuta. Thanks to the excellent work done by Bones, as always, we can enjoy a unique animated adaptation with an unmistakable style and design. Apart from this, there is also the drawing style and impeccable visual details that this anime possesses. While they say that the manga is already crazy, the anime has its own thing going on by maintaining a defined style from start to finish with a perfect mix of dark shades, strong colors, shadows, and lights. The visual effects and CGI are well added. The same goes for the sound effects, although they don't compare at all to the soundtrack this series has. In short, here is an anime that is unique in its style in every sense of the word.

    Personally, I give it a rating of 9.5/10 in terms of the action, dark fantasy, and comedy genres.

    SPANISH VERSION

    En cuanto a sus antagonistas, puedo decir que me llamó la atención uno que otro que aparece en este anime. Sin embargo, más allá de impresionarme, lo que logró este equipo enemigo llamado Raiders es entretenerme con gente tan loca como Jabber, por ejemplo. En cuanto a los demás, aún queda mucho por descubrir de cada uno que posiblemente y lo veamos en una futura y confirmada segunda temporada. Pero por el momento solo diré que hay ciertos temas y secretos que me intrigan un poco nomás. Por otra parte, me faltó mencionar otra cosa más que me gustó mucho de este anime y es ese estilo único e inigualable que posee. Estoy hablando no solo del estilo de vestir, sino también del arte y el uso de graffiti en este anime.

    Por último, pero no menos importante, hablemos del apartado audiovisual de Gachiakuta. Gracias al excelente trabajo que realizó Bones, como siempre, podemos disfrutar de una adaptación animada única y con un estilo y diseños inconfundibles. Aparte de esto, también está el estilo de dibujo y detalles visuales impecables que posee este anime. Si bien dicen que el manga ya es una locura, el anime tiene lo suyo al mantener un estilo definido de inicio a fin con una mezcla perfecta de matices oscuros, colores fuertes, sombras y luces. Los efectos visuales y el CGI están bien agregados. Lo mismo sucede con los efectos de sonido, aunque no se le compara en nada con la banda sonora que tiene esta serie. En fin, aquí les dejo un anime único en su estilo con todo el sentido de la palabra.

    Personalmente, le doy una calificación de 9.5/10 en lo que respecta al género de acción, fantasía oscura y comedia.

  3. Gachiakuta! 🧤 Finding Worth in the Worthless [ENG | ESP]@justola1260d


    ENGLISH

    Intro

    Does anyone get this feeling of starting a new anime and then initially not liking it, then eventually falling in love with it and hoping more episodes are released? Yes, that's me.

    Gachiakuta is one of those that has ignited my inner addiction.

    ESPAÑOL

    Introducción

    ¿Alguien más tiene esa sensación de empezar a ver un anime nuevo y que al principio no le gusta, pero luego acaba enamorándose de él y deseando que salgan más episodios? Sí, ese soy yo.

    Gachiakuta es uno de esos que ha despertado mi adicción interior.


    It Was Weird at First

    I initially found this anime weird when the earlier scenes displayed a young boy stealing garbage from the dump site. Eww, Like why? I was about to switch to another anime when generous me decided to give it the benefit of the doubt and watch one more episode.

    Al principio era raro

    Al principio me pareció raro este anime cuando las primeras escenas mostraban a un niño robando basura del vertedero. ¡Qué asco! ¿Por qué? Estaba a punto de cambiar a otro anime cuando mi generosidad decidió darle el beneficio de la duda y ver un episodio más.


    Deep Dive

    Rudo is about a young boy who seems to find perfection in imperfections. He observed wealthy individuals discarding items that were still usable. He had this habit of going to the dump site of the rich and stealing the items that they've neglected. One evening, after Rudo found and repaired a teddy bear, which he took from a dump site, he decided to give it to his crush. On his way back, his guardian Regto was murdered, and he was framed by the people of the city.

    Profundizando

    Rudo trata sobre un niño que parece encontrar la perfección en las imperfecciones. Observaba a personas adineradas desechar artículos que aún eran útiles. Tenía la costumbre de ir al vertedero de los ricos y robar los artículos que habían desechado. Una tarde, después de que Rudo encontrara y reparara un osito de peluche que había cogido del vertedero, decidió regalárselo a la chica que le gustaba. De regreso a casa, su tutor Regto fue asesinado y él fue incriminado por la gente de la ciudad.


    They arrested him, and he was thrown in a deep hole; it's the people's form of executing criminals. Rudo was able to survive the fall into the hole and then met a whole civilization of people living there. People of the hole were dying due to gases from the top and also the monsters (trash beasts) that were created from emotional energy called "anima." When he got attacked by trash beasts, he was saved by Enjin, who is a cleaner that holds his vital instrument, an umbrella named Umbreaker, which is a weapon created from a discarded item that has been given power through that mysterious energy I mentioned earlier called Anima.

    Lo arrestaron y lo arrojaron a un profundo agujero, que era la forma en que la gente ejecutaba a los criminales. Rudo logró sobrevivir a la caída al agujero y luego conoció a toda una civilización de personas que vivían allí. Los habitantes del agujero estaban muriendo debido a los gases que venían de la superficie y también a los monstruos (bestias de la basura) que se creaban a partir de la energía emocional llamada «anima». Cuando fue atacado por las bestias de la basura, fue salvado por Enjin, un limpiador que posee su instrumento vital, un paraguas llamado Umbreaker, que es un arma creada a partir de un objeto desechado al que se le ha dado poder a través de esa misteriosa energía que mencioné anteriormente llamada Anima.


    Rudo was later found to hold the same power of using vital instruments; his powers are even greater because he could touch any object and turn it into a vital instrument, unlike other cleaners that can manipulate only one.

    Más tarde se descubrió que Rudo tenía el mismo poder de usar instrumentos vitales; sus poderes son aún mayores porque podía tocar cualquier objeto y convertirlo en un instrumento vital, a diferencia de otros limpiadores que solo pueden manipular uno.

    I Got Sad

    I have seen only 10 episodes; I guess it's still in production. I will check back later; maybe more has been released. For now, I'm hunting for the next best anime to watch; I'd love to hear your recommendations.

    It was nice talking about my recent watch here in this community again.

    Me Entristecí

    Solo he visto 10 episodios; supongo que aún está en producción. Volveré a mirar más adelante; quizá hayan sacado más. Por ahora, estoy buscando el próximo mejor anime para ver; me encantaría escuchar vuestras recomendaciones.

    Ha sido agradable volver a hablar de lo que he visto recientemente aquí, en esta comunidad.

  4. Gachiakuta - Episode 14 Review@silverscreen269d

    Gachiakuta - Episode 14 📍Episode Rating: 8.5

    (Spoiler Warning)

    1000068845.jpg

    This episode marked the beginning of Gachiakuta’s second part. The first episode of this part made it clear that the upcoming episodes are going to be explosive. However, the final moments of this episode left me genuinely tense, as the Raiders and Cleaners came face-to-face. I’m extremely eager to find out what happens in the next episode. Whatever it is, it’s sure to be a massive showdown; I can feel it.

    In the beginning of this episode, we saw that before returning to Headquarters, everyone went to the elderly Doctor, namely Alice, to get themselves patched up. It was revealed that Alice is the real grandmother of Eishia and August. Anyway, on their way back from there, they faced a trash storm. At that moment, Semiu called Enji to inform him that the Marauders had attacked Headquarters, and so he forbade them from coming there.

    Semiu single-handedly dealt with the Marauders. With the help of his Vital Instrument, that is, his glasses, he put up an impressive fight. After learning how Semiu’s power works, Rudo was quite surprised to discover that the effectiveness of a Vital Instrument’s power also depends on the importance, influence, or work type placed on it.

    Enjin, Rudo, and the others sat down to eat at a restaurant. There, they were joined by the Cleaners from the Child Team. At this restaurant, Riyo mistakenly drank from Rudo’s glass, leading to an indirect kiss between them, which left Rudo very flustered. Someone, a stranger from the Marauders, came and informed them that a Spherite, meaning Rudo, was at the Cleaners’ Headquarters. That’s why they had come to take Rudo. They could assume that the stranger was one of the Raiders.

    Amid various conversations, Rudo spoke with a hooded man at the restaurant. The man told him that the new boss of the Raiders was very dangerous, so he should be careful. Rudo was listening to the man casually at first. But at one point, when the man took out Amo’s shoes and showed them to Rudo, saying that the new boss of the Raiders was looking for such things, Rudo immediately got furious. In the blink of an eye, it was revealed that this man was the new boss of the Raiders. With him was Cthoni, who used his manhole warp to pull Rudo into a teleportation. Luckily, Enjin, Zanka, Riyo, and three new Cleaners from the Child Team were also warped along with Rudo. However, none of the Support team could warp with them, as it closed before they could.

    Then, the Cleaners and Raiders stood face-to-face. Rudo shouted, “What did you do with Amo?” And with that, the episode ended.

  5. Gachiakuta: Treasure Among Legit Trash@ridgette297d

    IMG_20250914_210715.jpg

    It's been weeks since I started watching Gachiakuta, and up until now I'm still following its weekly episode update. I already shared here before that I've anticipated its airing, and upon watching the episodes it currently got, the hype I felt way back then definitely didn't go to waste. The first episode immediately hooked me up to their world. I mean, it's similar to how the world works in reality. The social caste, the division—they all feel familiar however, at the same time, there are concepts that are new to me, and one of them is how their power gets unleashed.

    IMG_20250914_210922.jpg

    It's refreshing that I get to know another power system, and this one felt new because I haven't watched other anime series that focus on discarded stuff. Although the concept of using objects and bringing out the power in them through cherishing them kinda reminds me of fullbringers from Bleach, still the MC's ability to maximize the use of things—trash specifically—amazes me. It's so cool to see him take advantage of the full potential of trashes he touches, and with that, I'm looking forward to seeing how he utilizes it in further episodes. His fight with Jabber was really thrilling and entertaining, and I know it wasn't that short, but it felt like that to me because I badly wanted more fight scenes.

    IMG_20250914_215432.jpg

    As for its pacing, I understand that they're going slowly for now because it still hasn't reached the halfway point of its first season. Since there aren't many actions yet, there are certainly times that it kinda felt boring, but those parts are nice for us to get to know more other characters and also get to know further their lore. And since it has its manga, of course, I already encountered unwanted spoilers which made more curious. Supposedly, I'm going to read the manga before I watch the anime, but I decided against it because, based on my past experience of watching action animes, I stopped following it once I got hooked on its manga.

    IMG_20250914_210911.jpg

    Bleach, Demon Slayer, Death Note, Hell's Paradise, Tokyo Ghoul, Gintama and the list could go on. I first tried the anime, but when I read their manga, I find myself absorbed by them to the point I can't bring myself to watch the anime again. That's why, for Gachiakuta, I settled on the anime. I'm not good in waiting but anyway I waited for it, and finally it's airing. Today the episode 10 will air, but I'll just watch it tomorrow because I still need to study for our prelim lol.

    IMG_20250914_210850.jpg

    It's still not yet on its climax, so it's quite laidback for now, but certainly I'm anticipating it to get more heated up as they explore that no man's land. How about you? Is there an ongoing anime that you're following? Or are you binge-watching finished anime as of now? If you wanted to share, feel free to comment down. And that would be all for today, minna-san~ Thanks for being with me till here, and hope to see you around!

  6. Gachiakuta: My Review@vickystory319d

    If you treat an object with care a soul will come and inhibit it. That line got me thinking deeply. From the very first episode, I knew it wasn’t going to be your everyday “hero saves the world” kind of story. Nah, this one grabbed me by the throat and said, “Sit down, watch, and prepare to be shocked.”

    So the story starts with Rudo — stubborn, hot-headed, and born into a world that already hates him because of who his parents were. He lives in the slums, and the way the society is divided ehn, if you’re from the wrong side, you’re treated like trash — literally. The rich people stay above and throw all their garbage, both things and people, down into this pit. That pit isn’t just a dump o, it’s like a graveyard of forgotten things, and the moment I saw it, I just knew it was going to play a big role later.

    then boom one twist I did not see coming. Rudo is framed over a crime he did not commit. You know that sort of betrayal when your chest feels hard? His father figure, who raised him, was murdered and all of a sudden it was his fault. They threw him in the Abyss like he was nothing, branding him a murderer. I was yelling at my screen, “How could they do him like that?!”

    This is where it gets nuts: Rudo ought to have died down in the Abyss. However, he turns out to find something different that completely changes everything. He encounters this mysterious man by the name Engine, who takes him into the world of the Janitors. These are not only cleaners o - they are warriors who fight with special weapons which are made of the feelings of trash. Not ordinary swords or guns, the weapons are imbued by feelings, hatred, even the past of what they were before being discarded. Say that is not crazy.

    One scene that is still stuck to my head was when Rudo picked his first weapon; it was not smooth or polished. It was crude, practically ugly, but when he swung it you could feel his anger, his hurt, his sense of injustice flow through it. The sound effects, the animation, the heaviness of that moment -- goosebumps all over my body.

    And what of the fights? Ah! These Janitors do not swing weapons, though. All wars are psychological. At one point, Rudo is fighting a character capable of manipulating chains made of chain-links that have been broken and discarded shackles. That scene put me on the edge of my seat since it was not a matter of who was stronger but whose feelings were deeper. Watching Rudo scream, sweat, bleed, and still keep pushing, I realized, this anime wasn’t just about action. It was about survival in a world that’s designed to crush you.

    But here, now, get to the point: what I got really touched was not the fights. It was the silent scenes, as when Rudo recollected how his adoptive father said he should not lose himself, he should not allow the judgment of the world to define him. God, those flashbacks are rough. I began thinking how sometimes life sets you up to do things that you do not do and how society can judge you before you even get a chance to redeem yourself.

    The twists continue to come in. You would think that Rudo would just concentrate on survival but no. He discovers even more sinister things, such as the Abyss being more than a trash heap, it is living. There are also monstrous creatures that were born out of discarded emotions, and some of them are more frightening than any of the human enemies. The first time one of those things appeared I was straight up missing a beat.

    By the time that I was well into the story, I was back to watching anime. I cared about Rudo who was struggling to find justice, belonging and revenge. And honestly? I could see myself in him. There is that sensation of being judged and holding pain that the world does not comprehend and yet attempting to move forward with it all, and Gachiakuta struck a nerve in me.

    Speaking frankly, I will say that observing Rudo struggle through the complications of betrayal, loneliness, and unfairness, I started thinking about my own life. I felt like I was being tossed into an Abyss and I had to figure things out based on nothing but my own rage. Like him, I had to grab my pain and make it sharp and then fight back. So if you ask me? Gachiakuta is an interesting anime. It’s a mirror. It’s messy, it’s painful, it’s beautiful, and it’s real in a way you won’t expect.

  7. (ESP-ENG) My first impressions of Gachiakuta - A sleeping giant...@javyeslava.photo323d

    **

    Hello friends, good vibes to all.

    **

    Hola amigos, buenas vibras para todos.

    I don't usually make these types of posts unless the anime in question impresses me quite a bit. It happened to me with Solo Leveling and the same thing is happening now. Gachiakuta is an anime that will have 24 chapters and we're only on the sixth, we've barely seen a quarter of the episode so I think I can already have a pretty clear opinion of what it's about and what we can expect. This is the work of Bones, the same people behind My Hero Academia, Fullmetal Alchemist, Stray Dogs, etc. so we can more or less understand its background but I assure you not its form. The background would be people with some kind of power gathered in some kind of group to fight against one or more enemies.

    No suelo hacer este tipo de publicaciones salvo que el anime en cuestión me impresione bastante, me pasó son Solo Leveling y ahora está sucediendo lo mismo. Gachiakuta es un anime que tendrá 24 capítulos y apenas vamos por el sexto, apenas hemos visto una cuarta parte por lo que creo que ya puedo tener una opinión bastante clara de lo que es y de lo que podemos esperar. Esto es obra de Bones, los mismos de My Hero Academia, Fullmetal Alchemist, Stray Dogs, etc por lo que más o menos se puede saber su fondo pero les aseguro que no su forma. El fondo serían personas con algún tipo de poder reunidos en una especie de grupo para combatir contra uno o varios enemigos.

    Six episodes may be enough for some, but we've already seen some interesting things. The first is that this story is driven by revenge; from the way the world where Ludo, our protagonist, lives or used to live, is run, we can see how inequality and injustice are the order of the day. He suffered it firsthand, so he vows to one day make those responsible for all this pay. This place is like floating, and those who commit crimes are thrown into the "abyss," a place filled with garbage, where Ludo was thrown. In the end, it's all a matter of social class.

    Puede que 6 episodios para algunos nos sean suficiente pero es que ya hemos vistos cosas interesantes. La primera es que esta historia tiene como motor principal la venganza; por la forma en cómo se maneja el mundo donde vive o vivía Ludo, nuestro protagonista, podemos ver como la desigualdad y la injusticia están a la orden del día. Él lo sufrió en propias carnes por lo que jura algún día hacer pagar a los culpables de todo aquello. Este lugar está como flotando y a aquellos que incurran en algún crimen son lanzados al "abismo", un lugar lleno abarrotado de basura y en donde Ludo fue arrojado. Al final todo es un tema de clases sociales.

    Ludo has a power he doesn't know how to handle very well and that he has to learn to control (My Hero Academia vibes), so in that place he will meet people who will teach him and integrate him into a new life. He has a lot of traumas and that makes him very moody at times, but deep down he is a very understanding and sweet young man, something that he will also have to learn, how to calm his temper a little. So far, all the chapters offer something, but part of the reason for this post was the last one, last Sunday's. Without giving away spoilers, it may be the beginning of this anime's takeoff. Besides the fact that it was a very good one in terms of animation, we saw how something in Ludo may have changed for the better.

    Ludo tiene un poder que no sabe manejar mucho y que tiene que aprender a controlar (vibras a My Hero Academia) por lo que en aquel lugar conocerá a personas que le enseñen y lo integren a una nueva vida. Él tiene muchos traumas y eso hace que a veces sea muy malhumorado pero en el fondo es un joven muy comprensivo y dulce, cosa que también deberá de aprender, a como bajar un poco su temperamento. Hasta ahora todos los capítulos ofrecen algo pero parte de la razón de este post fue el último, el del domingo pasado. Sin hacer spoiler puede que sea el comienzo del despegue de este anime, además de que fue uno muy bueno en cuanto a animación vimos como posiblemente haya cambiado algo en Ludo para bien.

    The supporting characters are very cool so far, you laugh with them, while others are more serious. The enemy in question from the last episodes is top-notch. I praise the voice actor; it's impressive what that character conveys every time he expresses himself. The animation seems crazy to me; it has Bones' signature stamp but is still very high quality. Of the six, at least two have seen great things in this department. Great attention to detail. The anime is raw, has violence, and a lot of gore, not just in the visuals but in the plot itself.

    Los personajes secundarios muy cool hasta el momento, te ríes con ellos, otros que son más serios; el enemigo en cuestión de los últimos episodios es muy top, alabo al actor de voz, es impresionante lo que transmite ese personaje cada vez que se expresa. La animación me parece una locura, tiene el sello característico de Bones pero de igual forma no deja de ser de mucha calidad, de los 6 por lo menos en dos hemos visto grandes cosas en este departamento. Cuida mucho los detalles. El anime es crudo, tiene violencia, mucho gore pero no solo en lo visual sino en la misma trama.

    It's true that many might say this formula is a bit repetitive, but I think what draws attention to Gachiakuta is the setting it takes place in, how disruptive it can be, and how dark and violent its story seems to be. The point here is that I was hooked from the very first episode, and that's important to me. The little we've seen of Ludo so far leads us to believe he'll have an interesting character development, especially if he's driven by revenge. I think we'll also see a lot of fan service, but that's fine by me as long as it doesn't undermine the plot.

    Es verdad que muchos puede que digan que esta fórmula ya está un poco repetida pero creo que lo que llama la atención de Gachiakuta es el entorno en donde se desarrolla, lo disruptivo que puede llegar a ser y lo oscura y violenta que tiene pinta que será su historia. El tema acá es que desde el mismo primer capítulo me enganchó y eso para mi es importante. Lo poco que hemos visto de Ludo hasta los momentos nos hace pensar que tendrá un desarrollo de personaje interesante y más si es movido por la venganza. Creo que también veremos mucho fanservice pero por mi está bien siempre y cuando no dañe la trama.

    I'll finish with its opening, HUGs" by Paledusk. A really hardcore and powerful metal that goes hand in hand with the whole essence of the anime. I'm telling you now that it will be one of the great openings of the year because yes, it is a complete and absolute barbarity, both the song and the visuals. If you haven't seen this anime, then take advantage of the fact that there are only 6 episodes left. It looks really good and I feel like it's being talked about little. It's time for many more people to get to know it.

    Finalizo con su opening, HUGs" de Paledusk. Un metal bien hardcore y potente que va mucho de la mano con toda la esencia del anime. Ya les digo que será uno de los grandes openings del año porque si, es una completa y absoluta barbaridad, tanto la canción como lo visual. Si no has visto este anime pues aprovecha que apenas van 6 episodios, tiene muy buena pinta y siento que se está hablando poco de él. Es hora de que muchos más lo conozcan.

  10. An eye on Gachiakuta ⚠️Cleaners, Layer of Depth and Abyss Monsters@alienpunklord470d

    Welcome to another art post here in the community.

    ![image.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/alienpunklord/23uQhyX8r6Cf52kVuTFDsLNCwDJpV7BqxZwHs2M23oceVwcpDsvmnHm1cMdzFG82vw1aX.png)

    If there’s one thing that excites me about new shonen adaptations, it’s when they bring fresh, bold ideas while maintaining the essence of what makes the genre so captivating. And recently, an upcoming anime has been generating a lot of buzz:

    Gachiakuta.

    Maybe you’ve already heard about this series, but if not, let me tell you why it has the potential to be one of the biggest highlights of 2025.

    Gachiakuta is a manga written by Kei Urana, with illustrations by Hideyoshi Andou, published in Kodansha’s Weekly Shōnen Magazine.

    The story caught attention for its unique aesthetics and a dark universe full of action and mystery. Now, with the announcement of the anime adaptation by studio Bones (My Hero Academia, Mob Psycho 100), expectations are sky-high!

    The premise is electrifying.

    image.png

    Rudo, the protagonist, is part of the lowest class in society and lives in a floating city. Everything changes when he is unjustly accused of murder and thrown into the abyss, a place overrun by garbage and terrifying creatures. In this hostile world, he meets the Cleaners, warriors who wield weapons called Jinki, made from discarded objects and imbued with special powers.

    The Jinki are one of the most fascinating elements of the story.
    These weapons are not just battle tools; they carry traces of history and emotions from their former owners. This approach adds a layer of depth to the combat system, making each battle more unique and unpredictable.

    The most intriguing detail?

    image.png

    The story is not just about survival but also about buried secrets, a corrupt system, and a protagonist seeking redemption. The mystery behind the abyss, the intense fights, and Rudo’s growth as a warrior promise an engaging plot full of emotion and twists.

    Another interesting point is how Gachiakuta addresses the issue of waste.

    The upper world discards everything it considers "impure," including people, while the abyss society learns to transform this waste into something useful. This creates a subtle social critique, tackling themes like wastefulness and inequality.

    One of Gachiakuta's strongest aspects is its visual identity.

    The manga already stands out for its artistic style influenced by hip-hop and punk culture, with characters full of personality and vibrant settings. The anime, under Bones' care, has everything it needs to deliver fluid animation and electrifying battles.
    The detailed illustrations and raw aesthetic of the manga bring a unique atmosphere to the work, and fans are eager to see how this will be translated into animation. The use of contrasts between the floating city and the abyss should be one of the most striking visual aspects of the adaptation.

    Another key point is the depth of the story.

    image.png

    Despite being an action shonen, Gachiakuta is not limited to just fights. The plot addresses social inequality, rejection, and what it means to find a purpose amidst chaos. Rudo’s journey is not just physical but also emotional, dealing with betrayal, the desire for revenge, and the need to find a new path.

    Moreover, the supporting characters have captivating and well-developed stories. The Cleaners, for example, are not just skilled fighters but also carry complex motivations that add layers to the narrative.

    If you enjoy dark stories, charismatic characters, and a rich universe, Gachiakuta deserves your attention. The premiere is set for July 2025 on Crunchyroll and promises to be one of the biggest surprises of the year.

    And you, are you excited for Gachiakuta?
    Let me know what you think in the comments.

    Available on: Coming Soon.
