‘Jujutsu Kaisen’ Director Sunghoo Park’s Anime ‘Bullet/Bullet’ Heading to Disney+

After a decade in development, “Jujutsu Kaisen” helmer Park Sunghoo is readying “Bullet/Bullet,” a high-stakes anime series premiering exclusively on Disney+.

The post-apocalyptic adventure follows Gear, a junk dealer with a secret double life as a thief. Partnering with Qu-0213, a multi-personality robot, and Shirokuma, a gambling-addicted polar bear, the trio operates as elite thieves-for-hire until rescuing a mysterious girl puts them on a collision course with their society’s power structure.

Park, who recently won best original anime at the Crunchyroll Anime Awards, directs from a script by Aki Kindaichi (“Uma Musume: Cinderella Grey”). The production features character designs by chief animation director Takahiro Yoshimatsu (“Future GPX Cyber Formula,” “Hunter x Hunter”) and concept/mechanical designs from Hidetaka Tenjin (“Mobile Suit Gundam,” “Macross”).

Marina Inoue (“Attack on Titan,” “Smile PreCure!”) voices protagonist Gear, with Kazuhiro Yamaji (“Psycho-Pass,” “One-Punch Man”) as Shirokuma. The cast also includes Rie Kugimiya (“Gintama,” “Fullmetal Alchemist”) as Nosa-Nee and Kana Hanazawa (“Quintessential Quintuplets,” “Psycho-Pass”) as Kaw-Nee.

Rapper Chanmina contributes the opening theme “Work Hard,” while Tokyo rock band Newspeak provides ending theme “Glass Door.”

Disney+ will release the 16-episode series in two parts, with the first eight episodes dropping July 16 and the final eight arriving August 13. The series joins Disney+’s expanding APAC originals slate alongside “Tokyo Revengers,” “Murai in Love,” “Phoenix: Eden17,” “Medalist” and live-action thriller “Gannibal.”
