When I was little, I used to sit in front of the TV eagerly waiting for my favorite anime shows to come on.
Kei Urana
And as that little kid, I used to dream about one day having my own manga turned into an anime by Bones, a studio I love.
I’m looking forward to watching the Gachiakuta anime on the screen together with you all!
I’m looking forward to seeing Gachiakuta in motion! Enjoy every bit of it!
Hideyoshi Andou
My name is Fumihiko Suganuma and I’m the director of the upcoming Gachiakuta anime.
Fumihiko Suganuma
I’ll do my best to deliver 120% of the unique spirit and passion of the manga, and create a show that both Gachiakuta fans and viewers new to the series will enjoy.
Street smart—this was the very first word that popped into my mind when I read Gachiakuta.
Hiroshi Seko
I see the manga as being filled with knowledge and insights that manga artist Kei Urana and graffiti artist Hideyoshi Andou gained not in the classroom, but first-hand on the streets, sometimes in tough experiences that they powered through to survive.
So every page has a sort of nostalgic old-school “street” vibe that can be rough and gawky, but also so straight and powerful.
I really love this kind of work.
Everything about Gachiakuta—the story, Urana’s artwork, Andou’s graffiti, and the world they’ve created—is really captivating.
Satoshi Ishino
The different expressions, the dynamism and sketches that Urana draws are all incredible, and I hope to do justice to this fantastic artwork.
And you can look forward to awesome action scenes too.
