Crunchyroll has provided several quotes from the team behind Gachiakuta's anime adaptation.
“When I’m writing the scripts for Gachiakuta, it makes me want to blast my music. It makes me want to go out and have some fun. And it gives me the urge to meet up with my work buddies and friends for a good meal. An anime that makes you feel that way is the best. I mean that from the bottom of my heart,” said Hiroshi Seko, Screenwriter of Gachiakuta.
“I hope this anime stays in your soul! I’m looking forward to watching the Gachiakuta anime together with you all!” said Kei Urana, Creator of Gachiakuta.
“I hope the passion that Gachiakuta inspires reaches all of you! As you watch the animated Gachiakuta, I hope everyone feels the same spark of motivation!” said Hideyoshi Andou, Creator of Gachiakuta.
Crunchyroll describes the Gachiakuta anime as follows:
Rudo lives in the slums of a floating town, where the poor scrape by under the shadow of the rich who live a sumptuous life, simply casting their garbage off the side, into the abyss. Then one day, he’s falsely accused of murder, and his wrongful conviction leads to an unimaginable punishment—exile off the edge, with the rest of the trash. Down on the surface, the cast-off waste of humanity has bred vicious monsters, and if Rudo wants to have any hope of discovering the truth and seeking vengeance against those who cast him into Hell, he will have to master a new power and join a group known as the Cleaners who battle the hulking trash beasts of the Pit!
