‘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.”

Park previously directed the first season of “Jujutsu Kaisen” and its theatrical film, as well as “The God of High School.” The new series marks his first original anime project in years.
