Gachiakuta restored my hope

Over the last few years, especially the past five, I’ve found myself as an anime and manga fan worrying about the future of anime. I began questioning whether anime could still tell truly great stories and how far it could go creatively. I’ve always loved anime because it’s a powerful storytelling tool, one that explores deep ideas and raises meaningful philosophical questions.

After 2020 ended, Naruto was already finished, Attack on Titan was nearing its conclusion, and I started to wonder: Can anime still tell compelling deep stories? Can it still raise controversial philosophical questions that appeal to our human experience, reflect our world and teach us something about philosophy and the human condition?

Yesterday, I started watching Gachiakuta and honestly this anime restored my hope. I realized that my worries were nothing but an illusion. Anime still has so much to say, so much to reflect, and so much to offer to the human experience.

After discovering Gachiakuta, I’m no longer worried about the future at all. Anime is and will always be the best human experience ever created and the greatest story ever told.

Did Gachiakuta make anyone else feel the same way?
