The Bullet/Bullet Anime: A New Vision from Sunghoo Park
Bullet/Bullet is an original net animation (ONA) series created and directed by Sunghoo Park, known for his work on The God of High School and the first season of Jujutsu Kaisen. The project has been a decade in the making, reflecting Park’s long-term vision for the series. Animated by E&H Production and produced by Gaga, the anime promises a compelling narrative set in a post-apocalyptic wasteland.
Plot and Setting
The story of Bullet/Bullet unfolds in a future where the remnants of humanity reside within a walled city, relying on salvaged waste from the old world for power. Despite their contained existence, most inhabitants appear content. However, a young protagonist named Gear yearns for something more, inspired by the legendary car-driving outlaw, Road. His desire to explore the wastes leads him to a fateful encounter with a mysterious femme fatale. This encounter draws Gear and his companions into a high-stakes heist, setting off an adventure that will profoundly alter his perception of the world and his place within it. The central premise involves a team of thieves who specialize in recovering unfairly stolen items.

Other key cast members include Kazuhiro Yamaji as Shirokuma, Rie Kugimiya as Qu-0213 Nosa, Kana Hanazawa as Qu-0213 Kau, and Tomokazu Seki as Qu-0213 Naka.
