00:00The first episode of Gakyakuta, which premiered at Anime Expo and Japan Expo on July 4, 2025,

00:07and officially aired on Kronka Roll on July 6, 2025, has generated significant buzz as a dark

00:13shounen anime with immense potential. Based on Kei Urana's manga, serialized in Kodansha's

00:20weekly shounen magazine since February 2022, the episode introduces a gritty, dystopian world and

00:27a compelling protagonist, Rudo, in a visually striking adaptation by Studio Bones, hears a

00:33detailed review and first look based on available information. Gakyakuta, episode 1, titled The Sphere,

00:40sets the stage in a floating city divided by stark class disparities. The story follows Rudo, a young

00:47boy from the slums inhabited by the tribesfolk, descendants of exiled criminals. The upper class,

00:54obsessed with cleanliness and purity, discards anything deemed trash, including people, into a

00:59massive dump. Called The Pit or the Abyss, Rudo, who scavenges through waste to find value in discarded

01:06items, despises the wasteful elite. The episode establishes his life with his foster father,

01:13Regto, and his budding feelings for a girl named Chihua. However, the plot takes a dramatic turn

01:19when Rudo is framed for Regto's murder after encountering a mysterious figure. Branded a

01:25criminal, he's cast into the pit, setting up his journey of survival and revenge. The episode excels

01:32in laying out the world's harsh social hierarchy and themes of injustice and classism. The opening line,

01:38it's said that when an object is treated with care, a soul will come to inhabit it. So when trash is thrown

01:45out, what comes to inhabit it, sets a philosophical tone, hinting at the unique concept of anima,

01:52where objects hold souls, which ties into the series. Power system, vital instruments. While the premise

01:59a protagonist strongfully exiled and seeking vengeance feels familiar, the episode's execution

02:05is praised for its atmospheric world-building and emotional weight, though some critics note it

02:10leans on shonen tropes like. An edgy, rage-filled hero, Studio Bones delivers a visually stunning

02:17adaptation that captures the manga's graffiti-inspired punk aesthetic enhanced by Andohideyoshi's designs.

02:25The animation is fluid, with a dark, grunge-heavy style that vividly portrays the slum squalor and

02:31the pit's chaotic, trash-filled landscape. Early concerns about CGI for the trash beasts were dispelled,

02:38as the creatures are well integrated with detailed designs that avoid looking clunky.

02:43However, some viewers found the CGI backgrounds and certain cuts underwhelming, describing them

02:49as garbage or overly stylized, though others argue the visuals elevate the manga's chaotic energy,

02:55the contrast between the pristine upper. City and the Gritty Slums is a visual highlight,

03:00reinforcing the class divide. Rudo, voiced by Bryson Bogus in the English dub and Aoi Ichikawa in Japanese,

03:08is a standout. His mix of defiance, vulnerability, and rage as he's betrayed and exiled is portrayed

03:15with nuance, avoiding the one-dimensional edgy stereotype some feared. The episode introduces

03:21supporting characters like Regto and Chiwa, though they serve as plot catalysts rather than fully fleshed-out

03:28figures. Chiwa's quick acceptance of Rudo's guilt sparked debate among fans, with some finding it a weak

03:35plot device, while others justify it given her young age and trust in authority.

03:41The mysterious figure and the cleaners, a group hinted at in the episode's closing moments,

03:46tease deeper intrigue, with engine voiced by Katsuyuki Kunishi making a brief but impactful appearance.

03:53The episode tackles heavy themes of classism. Discrimination and rebellion, with Rudo rejecting the labels imposed on

04:00him as a tribesfolk and alleged criminal. While some reviews praise its nuanced exploration of these

04:07themes, others criticize the overt exposition, arguing its spells out. The class divide too explicitly rather

04:14than trusting visual storytelling. Comparisons to Fire Force and Solita arise due to Urana's connection

04:22to Asushi Okubo, with some calling it a try-hard version of those works, though fans of the manga defend its

04:29unique identity. Gakyakuta episode 1 is a bold, visually striking introduction that hooks viewers with its dark

04:37premise and emotional stakes, even if it treads familiar shounen territory. The animation and music are

04:44standout elements, and Rudo's journey promises depth as he navigates the pit, while some criticize its

04:50reliance on dialogue, heavy exposition, and predictable beats. The episode's energy and world-building make

04:56it a strong contender for the summer 2025 season's top shounen. Fans of the manga will appreciate its

05:03fidelity, while newcomers may need a few episodes to see what sets it apart. Gakyakuta episode 1 is

05:10available on Kronkorol with subtitles and an English dub, released on July 6, 2025, at 7.30 a.m. pt.
