Not just a screening – a full-blown takeover
Crunchyroll isn’t stopping at early access. Fans are getting interactive with a virtual Gachiakuta Graffiti Maker, where they can design their own street-style tags, and a behind-the-scenes short, “Behind Gachiakuta,” featuring commentary from creator Kei Urana and art director Hideyoshi Andou on how urban grime and graffiti culture inspired the anime’s electric visual style.
Meet the sound and the squad
The series is soundtracked by high-octane themes: opening track “HUGs” by metalcore sensation Paledusk, and haunting ending theme “TOMOSHIBI” by the enigmatic DUSTCELL. New cast additions include the legendary Toshiyuki Morikawa voicing Regto and Yuuki Shin as the fearsome Jabber.
Catch it before it blows up
