Bullet Bullet

In a near future where cities lie in ruins, Gear runs a junk shop that doubles as a fence for salvaged tech. She, the android Qu-0213 and a hulking partner known as White Bear take on risky retrieval gigs to survive. When a shadowy client hires them to steal a single, high-value object, the job goes wrong in brutal ways, drawing lethal assassins and shifting alliances. The series follows their scramble to stay alive, uncover why the item matters, and decide who they can trust while shards of civilization and old technology shape every move.

Created by Sunghoo Park and Akira Kindaichi, Bullet Bullet premiered in 2025 as an animated sci-fi action series, featuring Japanese voice talent including Marina Inoue, Kazuhiro Yamaji, Rie Kugimiya, Kana Hanazawa and Tomokazu Seki.

As of its release, Bullet Bullet hasn’t collected major awards. Critical responses have mentioned strong voice performances and kinetic direction, but the show hasn’t yet made a dent in major festival or awards circuits. It’s mainly circulating among genre reviewers and niche outlets.

Critics and viewers have given mixed to positive reactions, reflected in a modest 6.9/10 average from early votes. Reviewers often note stylish action choreography and a dark, salvage-era atmosphere, while pointing out occasional plotting gaps. Themes include survival in a collapsed society, the commodification of technology, and fragile loyalties among scavengers and machines.

While still new, Bullet Bullet has attracted attention for its sharp visual design and action set pieces, prompting fan art and online discussion among animation enthusiasts. Its aesthetic and the moral grayness of its characters have made it a talking point in communities that follow sci-fi anime and post-apocalyptic stories, even as it waits to find a wider audience.
