Gachiakuta is just absolutely fire!!!

Just an appreciation post for Gachiakuta. I just finished it today and I'm so happy seeing how Bones gave its adaptation justice. The CGI cuts don't always look good, but the actual fight choreographies are splendid, and I just felt really attached to almost all the characters, both protagonists and villains. I also find Rudo to be a really well-written character. Although Enjin is my personal favorite, I like that Rudo is a nicely done hot-blooded protagonist. They tend to be annoying if they're not done well, but Rudo is someone who works out nicely in the context of the story. I really appreciate his personal growth from being a revenge-driven person to someone who sees the value in interacting with his teammates and having fun with them, while not forgetting his initial goal. I also enjoy his reactions whenever he eats sweets (I love eating them too, haha, who doesn't) and his dynamic with Zanka is pure gold. I'm about to continue the manga from where the anime left off, and I'm excited to see future developments.

Okay, that's all. I highly recommend this anime to anyone who wants a good modern shounen series.

Sub vs dub ? I have heard that the dub is really great?

Whendfield1232025-12-27 13:52

Always go for sub unless you have an issue with the voices or you dont wanna read subtitles.

Hanazawa kana is voicing a character and many of the other characters have really good voices too.

Edit: whats with the hate for subs?

Ok_Difference88752025-12-27 14:03

Yes mostly i watch in sub only . But lately I feel a bit lazy , if the dub is really good , I prefer the dub then

Naive_Hope892025-12-27 15:37

I never watched the Anime (plan to) but its funny seeing people struggling with subs "oh i feel lazy so im going to watch the dub". Since a kid, 90% of content i consumed was subtitled (not talking only in Anime) so, in my brain i just read it with no struggle. Cultural diferences

Letumstrike2025-12-27 19:24

A lot of people nowadays pay half attention to media they’re watching. Looking at their phone, social media or playing a game etc. I don’t even consider it watching, if I can’t focus on the thing I’m watching I’ll turn it off and come back when I want to watch it.

AscendingRs2025-12-28 18:27

Any time a friend tells me they watched a show and want to talk about it, I have to ask if they watched it while doing something else or if they gave it their full attention to determine if their takes are worth listening to. Genuinely infuriating

Tyson3672025-12-27 17:25

Actually a better question is what's with the hate for dubs? If that's how a lot of people prefer who cares. The sub vs dub argument has been so tiring over the years.

masterplan79th2025-12-27 17:34

the original director directs the original VA's.

in the dubs you're getting a different voice direction experience. sometimes this works out well (dbz) sometimes it's fine (fullmetal alchemist) but on average you're getting a worse experience than the original intended version.

Tyson3672025-12-27 22:30

I don't think it really matters considering most dubs today are perfectly fine and still get the message across. It feels its mostly a holdover from early days of dubbing where it was really bad quality and people feel the need to be superior about something.

BernieTime2025-12-27 19:14

Hearing 40 year old people trying to sound like Teens, or in most cases with American VA's: Cartoon Teens, just comes off really cringe.

You know why the Peanuts cartoons have held up so well over the decades? They were actually voiced by children.

I have a friend that doesn't typically watch Anime subbed because he has a problem with the high-pitched women's voices. So to each their own.

Tyson3672025-12-27 22:25

So you're implying that in sub they get child voice actors? I don't see how its any different.

enesup2025-12-28 02:02

I mean this is the same with JP. Tanjro's and Okarun's JP VA is 35. Itadori is 40. Luffy's is in her 70s.

But JP VA is far more cutthroat of a market. There's a reason basically most JP VAs can sing.

TheOGBunns2026-01-02 09:04

I know a 44 year old lady that literally has a tiny very youthful basically Betty Boop voice I don't think you can always judge age by voice unless someone is literally a senior citizen.

Komorebi_LJP2025-12-27 19:26

You can just watch however you like it, but you shouldnt be surprised that on a forum dedicated to anime, you will see people prefer the original voice actors more. Hardcore fans often tend to want to watch things in their original form as much as possible

Tyson3672025-12-27 22:28

I'm more surprised by the gatekeeping is all. Anime is a wonderful thing that should be enjoyed by everyone regardless of whatever language you want to listen to. People should be encouraged to watch in their preferred manner instead of being discouraged.

TheOGBunns2026-01-02 09:02

It's something from another culture so it's respectful to at least try and watch with subtitles first, everybody should be able to read unless you are 3.

bodi555552025-12-27 13:57

Jabber dub is one of the best dubs I have ever heard in my life, after watching sub you should at least check out some clips in dub, trust me it's worth it

penguinsbestbirb2025-12-27 14:50

I gave it a shot and the Jabber scene where he laughs with Zanka on the ground is incredibly well done. However, I then checked some other random scenes out from various episodes and the cringe forced anime voice where everyone sounds like Sasuke (I like the Naruto Dub btw, nostalgia) and unrealistic really takes me out of it.

Reminds me of this every time: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ci8dIpNcyEY](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ci8dIpNcyEY)

In sub, all the background characters are high quality VA's, but in eng dub only some of the main cast is actually good.

Last anime I enjoyed watching in dub was Cyberpunk Edgerunners because it makes sense for the story and is well done.

DontCareTho2025-12-27 20:11

Frieren dub is great outside of Stark's whiney voice (which might be the worst thing I've ever heard)

WingardiumLeviussy2025-12-27 14:08

Sub no doubt

PhenomsServant2025-12-28 00:02

Zeno Robinson has been knocking it out the park as Jabber.

Whendfield1232025-12-27 13:54

I ended up liking it more and more in the second half. I hope the backstory of the characters will be shown, and zanka's backstory continue

cartoon_violence2025-12-27 20:59

I agree, the first half of the story felt so generic even though I was completely on board with the art style. I really felt like shonen template number 43. But then some really interesting stuff starts to happen once the fights go down.

dead_is_death2025-12-28 05:42

Sadly Tougen Anki never got out of the stale Shonen template and it just kept getting worse and worse.

Different_Citron_1602025-12-28 14:49

Sweet Krishna it’s getting worse ? First episodes were so generic I almost vomited. This must be some crime against creativity if it only got worse from there.

OtherwiseProgrammer92025-12-29 05:24

I couldn't get past the first episode. It managed to squeeze every battle shounen protagonist trope I could think of in a single episode. It's actually impressive when I think about it

Different_Citron_1602025-12-29 10:48

How does it get worse from that. HOWHOWHOW

Jitszu2025-12-28 18:20

I think it's carried by the interesting setting and absolute phenomenal art/style in the first half, but I was intrigued by the setting, which I like and I think is unique. I'm also planning to read the manga, after the anime

rutujz2025-12-27 15:18

5 episodes in and it is kinda okay till now. Somewhat boring. I like the worldbuilding and rudo as the protagonist. You said it is better in the second half so let's see.

darren_flux2025-12-27 18:02

I stopped when they were fighting the claw guy. I just don't feel the initial hype you get on animes like this here. Not digging the artstyle too

mdhkc2026-01-02 02:45

I think it's fair to say that if you don't like the art style, it'll be hard to enjoy the show. The art style really pervades the whole vibe.

chum-guzzling-shark2025-12-27 18:05

I was bored at first and not really interested but it just keeps getting better and better. definitely stick with it

tyler9809082025-12-27 18:13

It gets a lot better the longer it goes. It took a while for me to get hooked but by the end I liked it more than Dandadan season 2. The story progressed so nicely.

Hellbiterhater2025-12-27 18:30

Dandadan only has 2 seasons right now.

PhenomsServant2025-12-28 00:04

Technically it’s been one season split in half ala TYBW. They just decided to market the second cour as a second season.

Spicy_Boi_On_Campus2025-12-27 22:23

I felt the same way. Im happy I pushed through and now I can't wait to see more.

PhenomsServant2025-12-28 00:00

It gets way better. I’ll be the first to admit as a fan it’s starts slow, but once you get to the second half of the season, the series picks up really fast.

cutechristinaig2025-12-27 15:22

it's so ahh

biskutgoreng2025-12-27 15:45

Only the Sith deal in absolutes

Boris-_-Badenov2025-12-27 15:50

you could also say it's trash

monsieurvampy2025-12-27 17:56

I call it the trash anime as I can never remember how to spell Gachiakuta

Defrath2025-12-27 22:05

When the opening episode ended with a giant ass trash dinosaur, I called it Trash on Titan. Kinda wish there was more of a reason for that name to stick though haha.

Gray_Fawx2025-12-27 19:46

Dumpster fire, if you will

zenithfury2025-12-28 04:01

disagree, let's just crash

Open_Inspector_78632025-12-27 16:50

The character writing, the worldbuilding, the lore drops, the different factions, the abilities all of it is on a very high level. Best new shonen anime in years. Lets hope it focuses on the established strengths instead of death piling and aura farming in the next season.

Knuckleheaded-beardo2025-12-27 17:14

I wouldn't be so sure about that.

SoberMindless2025-12-27 17:41

For me, it was the surprise of the year.

I was surprised by the unpredictability of the story, the charismatic characters, the curious power system, and the construction/setting of its world. Not to mention the art, character design, and OST.

I liked it much more than Tougen Anki. Curiously, I had higher hopes for the latter, but Gachiakuta gradually ended up becoming my favourite shonen of the season.

Xepherya2025-12-27 20:46

Toughen Anki got too cheesy too quickly and I couldn’t even finish it. Gachiakuta constantly had me wanting next week’s episode, even with the pacing frustrations

AggravatingMuffin5352025-12-27 18:02

To me the biggest problem is the pacing. Most scenes just linger a second too long, dragging out the episode or at least giving me that feeling.

Ok_Joke46002025-12-27 18:40

Has CGI anime ever looked good?

nexxlevelgames2025-12-27 19:05

its would be anime of the year imo if not for Re:zero S3 and Summer Hikaru died.

But its gonna be one of the No.1 main shonen animes moving fwd.

Great Lore, "worldbuilding"🤣, characters and fresh art style

Hellbiterhater2025-12-27 19:27

Re: Zero S3 is also fire.

thefakedes2025-12-27 23:14

If folks don't like the anime for some reaaon, but enjoy the concept and overall plot, then I recommend checking out the manga.

RooeeZe2025-12-27 23:57

the characters in this show make some great faces, art style is a vibe.

No_Name77702025-12-28 00:47

Lowkey thought about picking up the manga cause the show is sooooo Gassss!

arctic-apis2025-12-28 01:48

Yes at first I didn’t like it because the art style is not my favorite but then I started to love it because of the art style. What a great show.

Mfaul272025-12-28 03:09

Im still pissed off how far behind the english release is in comparison to where the anime just ended. If i recall its roughly 20 chapters behind the anime.

dethomicide3132025-12-28 03:28

I couldn't get into it.

TheOGBunns2026-01-02 08:59

🤷‍♀️

zenithfury2025-12-28 04:00

I always think that, if you can't write award-winning stories all the time, the least one can do is make very good animation, especially for an action anime.

TommyTeaMorrow2025-12-28 06:22

I am looking to start it tonight ,

False-Gain6242025-12-28 10:09

It's a mid shounen battle anime

KarstenWache2025-12-28 10:50

more like absolute trash

TheOGBunns2026-01-02 08:58

I love it, it's one of the better New adaptations I've seen in a long while.

GeekSIMGirl2026-01-16 17:49

I really wanted to watch this anime, but I have an intense fear of roaches and hubs said they're all over the show. So none of that for me 😭

Introvertedgirl1232026-01-23 22:49

I’m thinking of watching it cause I keep seeing references to it. Where can I watch it?
