Gachiakuta is a manga written and illustrated by Kei Urana with graffiti art done by Hideyoshi Ando. Ive known about this series since March 2022, when I discovered it on a manga-related website while reading Bleach in college. The thing that instantly jumped out at me was the one of a kind art style, comprising unique character designs and a vastly detailed world filled to the brim with detail. I am so happy to say that this tremendous, stylish world has been fully realized by Studio Bones. This first episode was captivating, and took me back three years ago when I first discovered the series. For this, this first episode was perfect and brought the magic of Gachiakuta to life!

Great episode. The beginning is very captivating and it makes you want to watch more. I even considered to read the manga, but I'll try to watch the entire anime first. The animation is great, very fluid and well-done. The voice acting was great too. It already shows the character development throughout the episode, with him losing completely the hope about humanity. It shows that he will seek for vengeance and makes you wonder how he will be able to go up there again. Rudo was shown to be very fast, but it's necessary to wait to see his abilities. In overall, a great first episode. I predict that this anime will be surely very good.

From the very first scene, the anime hits you with this intense energy - it feels fiery. There's rebellion, raw emotion, and a hidden pain masked by loudness and strength.

The boy? From the very first moment, you feel like he's not just accused of a crime - no, it's deeper than that. It's like his very existence is on trial. Like he's been a burden on this world since the day he was born.

A society that doesn't give second chances. It judges instantly - just one look and that's it. And as a viewer, you find yourself thinking: "Seriously? Just like that?"

The animation? Insane.

The art has this gritty, almost dirty texture that perfectly matches the trash-like world they're living in - literally. And the music? It kicks in at all the right moments without distracting you.

But what pulled me in the most was the world beneath - the "exile." The idea of throwing someone down from above, as if you're literally tossing them into the trash... it says a lot about how society treats what it doesn't understand.

Personally?

This anime has crazy potential, especially if they play their cards right with the world-building - if they let us dive deeper into the class system and uncover how all this chaos even began.

Absolutely love the sound effects and overall production of the anime .Every bit and vibration is felt ,imagery is quite unique and interesting and reminds me of Dorohedoro. I haven't read the manga but after the episode I ask myself a question why haven't I seen it before . The character development is simple though effective and the foreshadowing of the killer was so damm nice .The fact we begin the episode with his appearance and finish the episode on top with his stare is somewhat interesting although I am not sure for sort of symbolism is in this particular direction. Definitely look forward and hopefully it would keep up on the level .

This episode is an excellent introduction to the anime. It quickly draws us into the world and helps us understand Rudo from the very beginning.

It's a gripping start that sparks genuine curiosity for what's to come, while also taking us through a wide range of emotions.

The visual quality is strong, and the sound design is absolutely outstanding - it elevates the entire experience.

The only downside is that the episode sticks a bit too closely to cinematic storytelling conventions, which makes some parts a little predictable. You can often tell what's about to happen next.

But even so, it still manages to surprise us in key moments, and everything is executed with care and skill.

For me, it clearly deserves a 9/10.
