Post-apocalyptic heists, robot sidekicks, and a polar bear with a gambling addiction—welcome to the explosive world of BULLET/BULLET.
After a decade of anticipation, acclaimed anime director Sunghoo Park, known for his genre-defining work on Jujutsu Kaisen and The God of High School, returns with his most ambitious project yet — BULLET/BULLET.
Premiering July 16 exclusively on Disney+ Hotstar, this high-stakes original anime series is set to take fans on a wild ride through a broken world brimming with action, mystery, and heart.
A Decade in the Making
Fresh off winning Best Original Anime at the Crunchyroll Anime Awards 2025, Park brings his signature storytelling and cinematic flair to BULLET/BULLET, a 16-episode epic that fuses sci-fi chaos with deeply human themes.
The anime unfolds in a post-apocalyptic world where society has crumbled, and survival hinges on salvaging tech relics from the “Old World.” Here, we meet Gear, a charismatic junk dealer who moonlights as a thief with secrets of his own.
He’s joined by an unforgettable team: Qu-0213, a robot with multiple split personalities, and Shirokuma, a polar bear addicted to gambling. Together, they take on high-risk heists for mysterious clients—until they rescue a mysterious girl from a group of assassins.
That single decision sets off a chain of events that pits them against the most powerful figures of their dystopian society.
From the stunning animation to the fast-paced worldbuilding, BULLET/BULLET promises to be a landmark title in the anime genre, offering fans an entirely new universe to get lost in.
Star-Studded Voice Cast & Crew
Behind every great anime is a stellar voice cast and creative team—and BULLET/BULLET delivers on both fronts.
- Marina Inoue (Attack on Titan, Smile PreCure!) leads the cast as Gear.
- Kazuhiro Yamaji (One-Punch Man, PSYCHO-PASS) voices the unpredictable Shirokuma.
- Rie Kugimiya (Gintama, Fullmetal Alchemist) lends her iconic voice to Nosa-Nee.
- Kana Hanazawa (PSYCHO-PASS, Quintessential Quintuplets) brings depth to Kaw-Nee.
The anime is scripted by Aki Kindaichi (Uma Musume: Cinderella Grey), with bold character design from Takahiro Yoshimatsu (Hunter x Hunter) and intricate mechanical design from Hidetaka Tenjin, a veteran of Macross and Mobile Suit Gundam.
The high-octane vibe of BULLET/BULLET is amplified by a dynamic soundtrack. Japan’s fierce rap queen Chanmina performs the opening theme “Work Hard”, a track that perfectly captures the grit and energy of the series.
Meanwhile, the Tokyo-based indie rock band Newspeak provides the closing anthem “Glass Door”, adding a haunting resonance to each episode’s conclusion.
Two-Part Release Strategy
BULLET/BULLET will be released in two parts, offering viewers time to absorb its expansive narrative.
- Part One (Episodes 1–8): Streaming from July 16
- Part Two (Episodes 9–16): Premieres August 13
This strategic drop ensures fans can dive deep into the plot’s twists, theories, and character arcs without being overwhelmed.
Why BULLET/BULLET Is a Must-Watch
Anime fans, sci-fi junkies, and dystopia lovers take note — BULLET/BULLET is more than just another action series. It’s a full-fledged, character-driven saga that explores moral ambiguity, technological fallout, and the definition of humanity in a fragmented world.
Gear’s ragtag crew is more than a typical team of misfits — they’re survivors, shaped by loss, betrayal, and the sheer will to keep going.
Plus, with Sunghoo Park at the helm, expect cinematic storytelling, intense combat choreography, and emotional resonance that punches just as hard as the action scenes.
