These also act as breathers for the players between two intense battles.]]

''Tousouchuu Great Mission'' is the anime adaptation of the popular Japanese game show ''Series/RunForMoneyTousouchuu''. It was produced by Creator/ToeiAnimation and aired its first episode on April 2, 2023 in the Sunday 9AM time slot on Creator/FujiTV.
Similarly to to game show it inspired it, the stories takes place in the future where mankind was forced to move to the Moon due to climate change on Earth. With the strict separation between the rich and the poor, the titular game show becomes something akin to BreadAndCircuses that keeps the attention of the masses.

Of course, doing so requires overcoming the TimedMission, avoid getting back-stabbed by other competitors and overcoming whatever specific obstacles a specific mission entails. However, the Hunters - nigh-unstoppable robotic chasers marked by their CoolShades and [[SharpDressedMan classy outfits]] - are a constantly looming threat that can eliminate any competitor by a mere ''touch'' and can appear at any given moment...

Just about the only way for Souya to legally get the needed money to do so fast is by winning the Run For Money.
* TheHeavy: The Hunters are the most frequent and most active threat in Run For Money.
* HuntingTheMostDangerousGame: Why else would they be called Hunters?
* LeParkour: All participants are forced to use this to some extent, but only Souya fully incorporates it, while others prefer to just run away, only resorting to acrobatics if there's no other option.
* MechaMooks: PlayedWith the Hunters. They're uncanny humanoid machines equipped with relative SuperSpeed and SuperStrength and unlike the traditional take on the trope are '''NOT''' CannonFodder.
* MrFanservice: Sprinkled thought the show.
** Maurice Shoemaker has a short WorkoutFanservice scene. The outfit he wears in the game further accentuates his muscular build.
** The opening theme has a mysterious masked white-haired man with an open shirt revealing his muscular physique appearing in front of Souya.
* MoralityKitchenSink: The participants all have differing motivations for joining the game, and several among them have very different standards when it comes to dealing with a situation in which they're given a SadisticChoice.
* MusclesAreMeaningful / MusclesAreMeaningless: Reconstructed. Some of the more athletic participants have particularly muscular physiques, have enough stamina to keep moving without getting tired quickly and usually reliably outrun the Hunters with relative ease, but even they can at most only briefly repel the Hunters in a direct confrontation; this still means getting close enough to get captured and kicked out of the game by them. That being said, what they can accomplish against the Hunters in a direct confrontation is to save another player, especially in situations where only a FragileSpeedster can complete a mission anyways.
* NoNonsenseNemesis: The Hunters. The moment they see a player, they lock on them and relentlessly pursue them.
* PromotionToParent: No mention is made of the Tomura siblings parents. This puts the responsibility of taking care of Haru on Souya's shoulders.
* RedBaron: Souya's stunts quickly earn him the title "Gravity Master".
* SeriesMascot: The Hunters, just like in the live action version. A silhouette of one of them is even on the anime's logo.
* SilentAntagonist: The Hunters never speak. Then again, NothingIsScarier...
* TerminatorImpersonator: ZigZagged. This is basically what the Hunters are in the anime, with some caveats: they do ''not'' seek to outright murder anyone, they only use brute force and no weapons. [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Also]], they never speak.
* TimedMission: The whole game is technically one. On top of that the players are often abruptly given additional timed missions mid-game, though they tend to be rather difficult.
* TouchOfDeath: Downplayed. The Hunters can eject any player out of the game just by touching them, after which they are caught in a sphere and launched out of the playing field, but the players are still physically alive. In fact, one player is saved from actual death mid-mission via being ejected by a Hunter at the last second.
* UrbanSegregation: The protagonist and his younger brother live in the polluted Gray Area. The rich live in the pristine White Area.
* VillainousRescue: While all players dread getting caught by the Hunters, sometimes getting caught by them is a good thing: at least one participant's life is spared by getting caught by one of the Hunters.

Similarly to to game show it inspired it, the stories takes place in the future where mankind was forced to move to the Moon due to climate change on Earth. With the strict separation between the rich and the poor, the titular game show becomes something akin to BreadAndCircuses that keeps the attention of the masses.
[[TheProtagonist Tomura]] [[BigBrotherInstinct Souya]], practically forces his way into the risky game show after it becomes apparent that the only way his younger brother Haru's health can improve is if they move to less polluted areas - something that they can only afford if Souya wins the notoriously difficult challenges of the eponymous game show.
Of course, doing so requires overcoming the TimedMission, avoid getting back-stabbed by other competitors and overcoming whatever specific obstacles a specific mission entails. However, the Hunters - nigh-unstoppable robotic chasers marked by their CoolShades and [[SharpDressedMan classy outfits]] - are a constantly looming threat that can eliminate any competitor by a mere ''touch'' and can appear at any given moment...

!!''Tousouchuu Great Mission'' contains examples of:
* AerithAndBob: Souya, Luna, Haru, Maurice, Penta, Oliver, Chama, Sid... Justified by the fact that the show takes places on Moon after a mass migration from all corners of the Earth.
* BridalCarry: Souya holds Haru like this in one of the last shots of the opening sequence.
* BreadAndCircuses: The Tousouchuu is almost exclusively devoid of participants from the lowest economic echelons of society, except for Souya and one prior exception who went on to become ShroudedInMyth. It nonetheless keeps the population very engaged and distracted.
* CastFullOfPrettyBoys: Aside of the odd {{Gonk}} here and there, most of the male characters are either [[{{Bishounen}} pretty boys]] or {{hunk}}s, while the older men are mostly [[SilverFox silver foxes]].
* CastOfSnowflakes: All the characters have distinct designs that make them easy to distinguish from one another.
* CreatorThumbprint: Souya's character design is not unlike what you'd expect from a ''Franchise/{{Digimon}}'' anime protagonist, most notably the goggles. Fittingly both anime's were made by the same studio.
* DeclarationOfProtection: Touma vows to protect his younger brother Haru at all costs, as well as to provide him with a better place to live in so Haru's health can finally improve.
** The lyrics of the opening theme can be interpret as a more emotional version of the same vow.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Souya's first scene in the anime is him performing a dangerous parkour stunt just to reach the balcony of the costumer so he can deliver a package to them, all while speaking politely while handing it over. This establishes his personality as bold and risk-prone, but also kind and polite.
* HealthcareMotivation: Haru's asthma-like ailment puts health and life at risk. This can only be properly remedied by him moving out of the Gray Area into to higher areas where air is cleaner. Just about the only way for Souya to legally get the needed money to do so fast is by winning the Run For Money.
