Chainsaw Man Hypes Next Casting and Theme Song Announcements

Chainsaw Man is revving up for its premiere this Fall, and those behind the series are setting up fans for some major new casting and theme song announcements before the anime’s debut! The anime adaptation taking on Tatsuki Fujimoto’s original manga series is the most highly anticipated new anime release of the year overall regardless of who you ask, and fans have been eagerly awaiting to see the full project in motion since it was first announced. But while the latest update on the series gave us our fullest look at the new series yet, there are still many more details that need to stack into place.

The team at MAPPA behind Chainsaw Man’s anime adaptation spoke about the upcoming adaptation during a special panel at Crunchyroll Expo this weekend (of which ComicBook.com was in attendance), and producer Makoto Kimura opened up about the fact that while the anime is gearing up for its full premiere this Fall, there are still many things to announce before with not only more casting announcements for major players such as Reze, but updates on the anime’s opening and ending themes as well before the new anime begins. 

When asked about Chainsaw Man‘s special early premiere in Japan this September before the full series begins this Fall, producer Makoto Kimura opened up about how the team at MAPPA is preparing for the occasion. Noting that MAPPA is always thinking ahead as to how to properly promote each of their series, this premiere will be the biggest event for Chainsaw Man‘s anime overall. It’s here that Kimura also teased that fans will get announcements for the actors behind characters like Reze, and the anime’s theme songs. But it’s not clear if it will be part of this event or beforehand. 

Kimura teased that it will be an interesting premiere as there is even “more” coming, but was playing coy as to what this “more” could really be. But thankfully with Chainsaw Man now officially scheduled for a release this October as part of the Fall 2022 anime schedule, it won’t be too much longer before we not only find out more, but actually get to see the anime itself. But what do you think of the anime’s production so far? Which actors and actresses would you want to see join the anime next? Let us know all of your thoughts about it in the comments!
