Synopsis

The inhabitants of a certain wealthy town think nothing of throwing objects away. However, their waste is priceless to Rudo, a resident of the town's slums. Despite the constant warnings from his adoptive father Regto, Rudo spends his days searching for reusable materials that would otherwise be sent to the giant disposal area known as the Pit. Due to its vastness, the Pit doubles as a means of criminal punishment; those dropped in are never to return again.

When Regto is murdered by a mysterious assailant, Rudo is falsely accused of the crime and thrown into the Pit. To his surprise, he awakens in a trash-filled area inhabited by enormous monsters formed from the junk. As the toxic air and Trash Beasts push Rudo to the brink of death, he is saved by Enjin, one of the Cleaners who wield weapons known as Vital Instruments to fight the monstrosities. Having gained his own Vital Instrument, Rudo soon joins the Cleaners in the hopes of finding a way to escape the Pit and avenge his father.

" Golden trash "
You know anime is good when 23 min eps feels like seconds . The range of characters and power system that gachiakuta offers is mind blowing, it even sets a perimeter that makes it special and different from other similar series. The critical thinking of characters in intense moments is top notch ability, that's why I liked it more .

Bones studio never disappoints , it again delivered top notch stuff with excellent key details like animation, op , ed , ost , character designs etc. Gachiakuta promises to be one of the most exciting debuts in recent times . Quality shonen never ...

Mixed Feelings
I was expecting a revenge story, so I ended up a bit disappointed when things went nowhere near that direction and the series became a more typical shonen.

Even so, Gachiakuta brings some genuinely fresh elements, with a very original world and power system, plus charismatic and funny characters.

The animation and fight scenes are great, and the world-building feels new and exciting. Still, despite all the cool ideas, I don’t feel completely engaged in the story yet. There’s something missing that keeps it from fully clicking for me. I hope next season makes me more invested, because the potential is definitely there, even if it ...

Gachiakuta is literally trash and not just because of its theme, which tries to shock at all costs, but mainly due to its weak and poorly executed writing. The series fails to turn its ideas into something engaging or meaningful, resulting in a shallow story with no emotional impact and no truly memorable moments. Everything feels empty, as if the visual shock is only there to mask the lack of narrative substance.
Another weak point is the humor: it’s clear that the author has no sense of comedic timing. The jokes appear at inappropriate moments, break the mood of scenes, and feel completely out of place. ...
