In April 2025, the Gachiakuta anime impacted its audience as if a hammer smashed into glass. Studio Bones took Kei Urana's dark and bleak story of the marginalized in society and transformed it into a new interpretation. Unlike most shonen series, Rudo is enacting his revenge as he moves through the Pit; this particular anime is not intended for binge-watching, as one would with American "comfort films".Needless to say, yes, this Gachiakuta anime needs a second season. The series is based on 17 volumes of source material, which are progressively darker and more complicated as each arc progresses. For those of you who have seen Gachiakuta anime up to episode 24, this would equate to reading the first act of Hamlet, then announcing that you are done reading. Studio Bones created an incredible piece of artwork; it would be irresponsible (and cruel) of them to allow Gachiakuta to end after only one-half of Season 1.Nail-Gun's projectile detail in the anime (Image Source: Studio Bones)For years, Studio Bones has established a great record of success with a reputation built on some of the best quality anime around. They have released many of the most popular shows in anime history, including Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, My Hero Academia, and Mob Psycho 100. Each title demonstrates the studio is committed to maintaining high-quality animation and faithfully adapting the source material.Studio Bones clearly shows it has long-term plans for Kei Urana's world of dark fantasy. By investing both in traditional two-dimensional animation techniques and innovative three-dimensional animation techniques, Studio Bones is making a statement that it wants to emulate the thick, graffiti-like look of the manga on screen.The Gachiakuta Anime's Unique AppealVisual representation of Rudo's rage (Image Source: Studio Bones)With Gachiakuta anime, it doesn't hold back in showing the unending ways in which social class impacts society. The floating cities that dump trash and people into "the Pit" are a great way to compare how people are treated differently based on where they live. For Rudo, going from living as a scavenger in the slums to being one of the Cleaners (a powerful organization within the series) has been an incredible journey. The harshness and difficulties of the tribesfolk are brutally illustrated throughout the series.Studio Bones' animation clearly enhances these themes; its mastery of action choreography is on full display in the "Trash Storm" arc currently airing in the second cour, and each intense fight has been well-executed while keeping it relevant to the overall story. The unique system for powers created in this universe using Vital Instruments and Anima creates limitless possibilities for inventive and engaging battles.Source Material Provides Strong FoundationEnjin's Cleaners squad (Image Source: Studio Bones)There’s plenty of source material available for the Gachiakuta anime in the manga with 17 volumes (and still ongoing) in “Weekly Shonen Magazine” created by Kei Urana. Once the first season ends after finishing off about Chapter 85, the remaining major story arcs are: The Information Broker Arc, The First Job Arc, and The Ambitious Doll Festival Arc.All three of these arcs will create a larger and more amazing world-building experience as well as develop the characters, including Gris and Folo. The mysterious “Angel” who travels between the Pit and the Sphere needs to have the mysteries explained. The corrupt world where Rudo got exiled needs more info, and so many things from season one still need to happen in the second season!The Verdict on Gachiakuta Anime's Season TwoThe Gachiakuta anime will most likely announce a season 2 sometime after season 1 airs its last episode. Studio Bones has done a great job on previous projects. Gachiakuta's source material is solid, streaming views are consistent, and the storytelling is compelling.If you are a Gachiakuta anime fan, continue to support this series so that the production committee understands that you, the viewer, want more. It has positioned itself as one of today's most exciting new shonen titles and is deserving of the opportunity to continue to build on this storyline.Studio Bones has the ability and resources to create an incredible season two for the series. The upcoming question is not if they will create a season 2, but when the announcement will be made.
