Gachiakuta Anime Ignites Anticipation with Second Cour Trailer, Theme Songs, and New Cast Reveals

Fans of the critically acclaimed anime adaptation of Kei Urana's Gachiakuta are eagerly anticipating its second cour, which is set to premiere on October 12, 2025. This next chapter will follow immediately after the conclusion of the first cour, ensuring a continuous and thrilling experience for viewers.

A brand-new trailer has just been released, offering a tantalizing glimpse into the escalating conflict that defines the upcoming episodes. The footage vividly showcases the fierce battles awaiting protagonist Rudo as he navigates a perilous world, highlighting intense clashes between the rogue Cleaners and the formidable Raiders within the much-lauded Trash Storm arc. This arc is widely celebrated as one of the manga's finest.

The first cour, which captivated audiences through its initial 13 episodes, masterfully adapted the narrative up to the dramatic Lady of the Penta arc. Now, the second cour promises to fully immerse viewers in the entirety of the Trash Storm arc, with exciting hints of future storylines like the Heritage Mural and Information Broker arcs already piquing curiosity for later in the season.

Adding to the excitement, the anime has unveiled its new theme songs. The electrifying opening theme, 'Let’s Just Crash,' will be performed by the globally recognized artist Mori Calliope, known for her unique blend of rap and rock. Complementing this, the poignant ending theme, 'Ban,' will be delivered by the talented musical duo karanoah.

The series' vibrant cast is also expanding with the addition of Maria Naganawa, who will lend her voice to the intriguing character Guita, promising to deepen the already rich ensemble of personalities.

Gachiakuta plunges audiences into a grim, dystopian reality where a magnificent floating city hides a sinister underworld. Below, in the brutal Pit, monstrous mutated garbage beasts roam. It is into this unforgiving realm that Rudo is unjustly cast, a victim of a corrupt system. His journey sees him joining forces with the rebellious Cleaners, not only to confront the monstrous threats lurking in the shadows but also to dismantle the very systems that condemned him.

Produced by the renowned Studio Bones, the anime's inaugural season, which premiered on July 6, 2025, has garnered widespread acclaim for its distinctive setting, compelling narrative, and exceptional animation quality. As the story hurtles forward into its next phase, both devoted fans and new viewers can anticipate an unrelenting barrage of gripping action, profound emotional depth, and a climactic showdown that will keep them on the edge of their seats.
