Chainsaw Man is on the horizon, and fans aren’t keeping quiet about its big anime debut. The hit series has kept netizens pressed about the premiere, but up until now, they have been told little about its release. However, Crunchyroll just changed that as the site confirmed it will be streaming the series when it drops later this year.

According to Crunchyroll, Chainsaw Man will join its service later this year and be available in more than 200 countries worldwide. The show will simulcast with English subtitles as usual before an English dub is released later on. Crunchyroll is also doing dubs in Latin American Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, French, and German.
