Long ago, a war broke out in Japan that pitted Kantou against Kansai and divided the country. Kansai became dependent on Kantou, but slowly the police and government began losing control of Kansai to criminals known as Akudama.

Akudama Drive Ratings & Reviews
- DarlingInThePlexxJune 10, 2025“Gas Mango, Gas Mango, Gas Mango… of the Universe!” 🎶 Is that what they’re singing? No. Is that what we hear and scream with our whole chest? Absolutely. From the jump, Akudama Drive throws you into a neon-soaked, cyberpunk riot of a world. A seemingly ordinary girl gets caught in a heist-gone-mad and suddenly she’s tagging along with a gang of elite criminals known only by code names—Courier, Brawler, Hacker, Doc… you get it. Names are optional. Explosions are mandatory. 💥💉🚴♂️ But underneath the chaos, it’s got heart. Each episode delivers drama, unexpected tenderness, and those “WAIT WHAT” moments. It’s Blade Runner meets Danganronpa meets “I did not sign up for these FEELINGS.” 😵💫 By the end, you’ll be left yelling “WHO IS THE REAL CRIMINAL HERE?!” and also possibly crying. Maybe. Depends on your damage. It’s one season. It’s contained. It’s wildly stylish. It’s underrated as hell. If you haven’t seen it yet, fix that. ⸻ Tags: 🍜 Cyberpunk Mayhem, 💔 Tragedy Hits Hard, 🚨 Found Family But Make It Unstable, 🔫 Action & Aesthetics, 🎶 Gas Mango Energy™
- K1t5un3March 31, 2025A true Cyberpunk is both a thriller genre and a mystery with devastating twists; a world divided into a two tier society, the haves and have-nots, where the protagonist faces insurmountable odds because the upper society controls all manor of life and the solution to the story usually requires the protagonist to "break" their world. The Matrix understood that, Dark City understood that, Altered Carbon got it, and Akudamma Drive played that fiddle like a true cyberpunk should till the very end. Akudama Drive gets what cyberpunk should be. Why 3.5 stars, a bit above mid rating? It takes more than understanding a formula to create a proper concoction. Akudama Drive spends too much time on stuff that doesn't matter and not enough time on stuff that does, that said, still worth a watch.
