As of today, July 13th, 2025, the second episode of Gachiakuta debuted on Crunchyroll, marking the start of its weekly episode rollout. Ahead of this, Gachiakuta held early screenings of its first episode in 16 countries and regions. As part of the “Gachiakuta World Takeover,” the anime made appearances at Anime Expo, Japan Expo, and Anime Friends, among many other global events.

During Anime Expo, fans were able to experience an immersive graffiti installation, themed scavenger hunt, and a 3D billboard in Downtown Los Angeles. Around the world, murals were set up in Tokyo, Los Angeles, Milan, Taipei, and Hong Kong, that spell out “Watch out world!” when combined. 

The newly premiered anime was directed by Fumihiko Suganuma, an up-and-coming talent making their debut with the series. Series composition was handled by Hiroshi Seko, who previously worked on major hits like Attack on Titan and Chainsaw Man, with music provided by Taku Iwasaki, the composer behind Bungo Stray Dogs. Gachiakuta aims to bring shonen action to life with a graffiti-inspired art style.
