Gachiakuta has stormed the anime world. According to the official Gachiakuta World account on X, the series ranked as the most-watched anime on Crunchyroll during the summer 2025 season. This milestone proves the anime’s rising popularity and supports its claim of a global "World Takeover."
Gachiakuta’s Record-Breaking Start on Crunchyroll
The anime premiered on July 6, 2025, with two consecutive cours covering both summer and fall. Its first episode earned over 80,000 likes. By comparison, My Dress-Up Darling Season 2 gained 59,000 likes, while Kaiju No. 8 Season 2 reached 49,400. Gachiakuta quickly positioned itself as a leader in Crunchyroll’s lineup.
Crunchyroll Viewership Metrics Remain Unclear
Despite the announcement, Crunchyroll has not explained how it measures viewership. This lack of clarity leaves fans with questions. In contrast, Netflix provides transparent data based on hours watched. For example, The Fragrant Flower Blooms with Dignity, released globally on September 7, 2025, logged 13.2 million hours in less than a month. Without similar transparency, Crunchyroll’s rankings remain uncertain.
The Story Behind Gachiakuta’s Popularity
The anime adapts the manga created by Kei Urana with graffiti-inspired designs from Hideyoshi Andou. Directed by Fumihiko Suganuma at Studio Bones Film, the story unfolds in a floating city where the rich discard their trash—and even people—into the abyss. Rudo, the main character, faces false accusations of murder and gets cast into the "Pit," a wasteland filled with monsters. To survive, he joins the Cleaners, who battle both mutated beasts and the corrupt system above.

With two cours confirmed, Gachiakuta will remain in the spotlight through 2025. The fall season will test whether it can keep its lead against other high-profile shows. Given its early dominance, many expect Gachiakuta to secure a place among Crunchyroll’s most successful anime of the decade.
