city. After being falsely accused of murder, he is thrown into the
"Well", an abyss where waste ends up and where monsters born from
garbage dominate the terrain. To survive and take revenge on those who
condemned him, Rudo must master a new power and join the "Cleaners", an
organization dedicated to confronting the beasts of the abyss. The anime
premieres on Crunchyroll on July 6, 2025,
simultaneously with Japan, with dubbing available from day one.
