Gachiakuta Anime: Full Details on Episodes, Cast, Writers, and More

The story is set in a stratified world: cities float above, while the surface below (the “Pit”) is a dumping ground for trash — and outcasts. Rudo, the young protagonist, is framed for murder, exiled into the Pit, and must survive among monstrous “trash beasts” and injustice, uncovering truths about the society and seeking revenge.

The name Gachiakuta roughly plays with the idea of “graded trash” or “legit trash,” hinting at themes of rejection, societal waste, and what it means to be cast aside. Gachiakuta+3GamesRadar++3TVアニメ『ガチアクタ』公式サイト+3
