“Gachiacta” main character Ludo’s new visual & short PV released! Cast appearance stage at “AJ2025”

Welcome back to the I Am Anime website

From the TV anime “Gachiakuta”, a new visual and short PV of the main character Ludo, drawn by character designer and chief animation director Satoshi Ishino, have been released. Furthermore, it has been announced that this work will be participating in the BLUE stage of “AnimeJapan 2025” to be held on March 22nd, and the cast will also be on stage.

“Gachiakuta” is a manga by Kei Ura that began serialization in Kodansha’s “Weekly Shonen Magazine” in February 2022, and was designed by Hideyoshi Ando’s graffiti. A battle action story featuring Ludo, an orphan boy born in a slum where the descendants of criminals live.
Won the Global Special Award in the comics category at the “Next Manga Awards 2022”. While Urana was formulating the idea, he thought that incorporating graffiti art would make it more interesting, and the work was created with the help of graffiti artist Kyoudou. The TV anime, which will be broadcast in 2025, will be produced by Bonds Film under the direction of Fumihiko Suganuma.

A new visual and short PV for the main character, Ludo, a lonely boy who lives in heaven picking up trash, have been released. This visual, drawn by character designer and chief animation director Satoshi Ishino, shows Ludo’s facial expressions for the first time.He is seen tightening his precious “thing”, his gloves, and facing something with a determined look on his face. The line “I’m doing it for real” gives us a sense of his character as he faces adversity.
Furthermore, the character graffiti logo used in the visuals and video was created by Kyodo, who created the original work, especially for this time. The word “Ludo” written in Roman letters and the game’s own language (Gachiakuta) gives the worldview of “manga x graffiti art” a strong impression.

In addition, the short PV is sprinkled with memorable lines from the original work, creating a masterpiece that expresses the worldview and character of the work. This year, expectations are only increasing for the follow-up to the series, which will begin broadcasting in 2025.

It has also been decided that this work will be participating in the BLUE stage on March 22nd at “AnimeJapan 2025″, one of the world’s largest anime events to be held at Tokyo Big Sight. On the day of the event, four cast members responsible for the CVs of the main characters, including Ludo, Engine, Zanka, and Riyou, will also be on stage. This will be your chance to hear stories that can only be heard here, such as behind-the-scenes stories about the production and the atmosphere at the dubbing site. The first event of this work will be delivered as a “serious” stage with great enthusiasm. Tickets are currently on sale, so make sure to apply to watch this stage after purchasing.
