was confirmed with two consecutive cours that will span the
summer and autumn seasons of 2025. The first episode racked up more than 80,000

Doubts
about metrics
So
far, Crunchyroll has not issued an official statement to
confirm the data or specify how it measures its audience. The lack of clear
methodology generates uncertainty, in contrast to platforms such as Netflix,
which publishes statistics in hours viewed. For example, The Fragrant
Flower Blooms with Dignity, released globally on September 7,
reported 13.2 million hours viewed in less than a month.
Production
and reception
The series
adapts the manga by Kei Urana (history, art) and Hideyoshi
Andou (graffiti design). It is directed by Fumihiko Suganuma at Bones
Film. The story takes place in a floating city where the rich throw garbage
and people into the void. There, Rudo is wrongfully accused of
murder and sent to the Well, a hell plagued by mutated monsters. To
survive, he joins the Cleaners, facing not only the beasts, but
also the corruption that banished him.
