Gachiakuta: Trash Monsters and Punk Vibes
A Manga That’s Raw and Rebellious
Picture this: a floating city where the rich live it up while the slums below drown in their trash. That’s the world of Gachiakuta, a manga by Kei Urana that kicked off in Weekly Shōnen Magazine back in February 2022. Our boy Rudo is a slum kid with a serious grudge against the wasteful elite. When he’s framed for murdering his foster dad and tossed into “The Pit”—a literal garbage dump crawling with trash monsters—things get wild. It’s dark fantasy with a punk edge, and the art? Oh man, it’s a killer mix of street art and graffiti that screams attitude.
This isn’t just some random Shonen Jump wannabe either. Gachiakuta snagged 13th place in the 2022 Next Manga Award and was a total fave among English fans even before Kodansha USA dropped the first volume in Fall 2023. Even Soul Eater legend Atsushi Ohkubo gave it a shoutout—talk about street cred!
Studio Bones Brings the Heat
The anime announcement hit in June 2024, and guess who’s animating one of 2025’s hottest upcoming anime adaptations? Studio Bones, the gods behind My Hero Academia and Fullmetal Alchemist. With Fumihiko Suganuma directing, Hiroshi Seko on scripts, and Satoshi Ishino designing characters, this is gonna be a visual feast. It’s slated for 2025, and the teaser trailer already has me itching to see Rudo take on those trash beasts. Plus, the graffiti vibes from artist Hideyoshi Andou? That’s gonna pop off on screen.
What Fans Are Saying
Hop over to Reddit or X, and you’ll see Gachiakuta fans losing their minds—in a good way, mostly. The r/anime crowd gave the announcement over 2,000 upvotes, with tons of love for its punk aesthetic and Ohkubo-esque vibes. Some are calling it the next big thing, but there’s a little shade too—think “Is this just My Hero Academia with trash?” Still, the hype outweighs the doubts, and I’m pumped to see how Studio Bones handles this rebel energy.
The Beginning After the End: An Isekai Game-Changer
From Web Novel to Webcomic Glory
Okay, switch gears with me—The Beginning After the End (TBATE) is a whole different beast among upcoming anime adaptations. It started as an American web novel by TurtleMe on Tapas in 2017, then got a webcomic glow-up with Fuyuki23’s art in 2018. The story’s about King Grey, a badass ruler who bites the dust and wakes up as Arthur Leywin in the magical land of Dicathen. With his old-life smarts, he’s out to fix his past mistakes and live right this time. It’s isekai with heart, and the magical battles are straight-up epic.
The webcomic’s a hit too—six volumes are out via Yen Press as of August 2024, and it even snagged Japan’s ‘Piccoma AWARD 2021.’ If you’re into growth stories with a side of sword-and-sorcery, TBATE is your jam.
Studio A-Cat Makes History
Fast forward to New York Comic-Con 2024: the anime got the green light, and it’s dropping April 2025 on Fuji TV’s +Ultra block, with Crunchyroll streaming it worldwide. Studio A-Cat (Digimon Adventure tri.) is at the helm, directed by Keitaro Motonaga, with Takamitsu Kouno scripting, Masami Sueoka on characters, and Keiji Inai dropping the beats. Oh, and it’s the first American webcomic to get an anime—how wild is that? The first season’s packing 24 episodes over two cours, and TurtleMe’s even supervising the scripts to keep it legit.
The teaser’s out, with Natsumi Fujiwara voicing Arthur and Makoto Furukawa as King Grey. I’m already calling it: this is gonna be an isekai sleeper hit.
Fan Hype Is Through the Roof
TBATE fans are eating good right now. Sure, there was some drama when Fuyuki23 dipped before Season 6 of the webcomic, but the anime news has everyone back on board. Reddit’s r/ManhwaNews is buzzing, and TurtleMe’s X post thanking the fans just poured fuel on the fire. With Crunchyroll in the mix, this one’s got global reach written all over it. The only worry? High expectations—folks want those magical battles to slap as hard as the webcomic’s art.
Why These Upcoming Anime Adaptations Are Must-Watch
So, what’s the big deal with these upcoming anime adaptations? Gachiakuta is bringing dystopian grit and a punk twist that’s rare in anime these days—think Akira meets Attack on Titan with a spray-paint finish. Meanwhile, The Beginning After the End is breaking molds as an American-born isekai that’s gone full circle to Japan. The studios are top-tier too: Studio Bones has a rep for delivering bangers, and Studio A-Cat’s got a chance to shine with TBATE.
