‘Bullet/Bullet’ Release Details
“Bullet/Bullet,” a project that Director Park reportedly spent over a decade developing, is set to premiere its first eight episodes exclusively on Disney+’s “Star” brand starting July 16. The subsequent four episodes, comprising episodes nine through twelve, will become available for streaming on August 13. Beyond its streaming release, the anime will also receive a two-part theatrical screening in Japan.

Musical Landscape of the Series
The inclusion of TWS’s “N.O.S.A” as an insert song adds another layer to the anime’s musical landscape. Prior to this, it was announced that Japanese rapper Chanmina would perform the opening theme, “WORK HARD,” and the rock band Newspeak would contribute the ending theme, “Glass Door.” The diverse range of artists highlights a multifaceted auditory experience for viewers.
Production and Vision
Sung Hoo Park, known for his directorial work on “Jujutsu Kaisen” Season 1, leads “Bullet/Bullet” at his own studio, E&H Production. The series is described as a sci-fi action narrative, set in a desolate, post-apocalyptic world where remnants of technology are revered as artifacts. The story centers on a young gearhead named Gear, who, alongside a multi-personality robot and a gambling polar bear, operates a business focused on recovering unjustly stolen items. Their lives take a dramatic turn when a mysterious girl, pursued by assassins, seeks their help, leading them into a potentially world-altering chase. The creative team also includes Aki Kindaichi on series composition, Takahiro Yoshimatsu handling character design and chief animation direction, and Hiroaki Tsutsumi composing the music.
