Chainsaw Man Director Celebrates Its Premiere With Special Post

Chainsaw Man cut his way into manga fans' hearts thanks to creator Tatsuki Fujimoto, and with the story's popularity hitting wild heights prior to the anime adaptation's arrival, the first episode premiere is sure to make waves. Now, to help in promoting the series to fans, the anime's director has some words for fans who are ready and willing to dive into Denji's world as he tears through devils in an attempt to achieve his lifelong dream: three square meals a day and a girlfriend.

Chainsaw Man was able to strike a chord amongst manga readers not just thanks to its bloody battles and stellar artwork, but also as a result of its heartfelt characters and hilarious moments peppered throughout. There's a wild balance that is struck throughout the mature Shonen series, and that balance has continued with the latest chapters of the series that introduced a brand new protagonist while sticking Denji on the sidelines. While MAPPA has yet to confirm a second season prior to season one's release, the anime producers have stated in the past that they would love to have the opportunity to produce all the works of mangaka Fujimoto, which also include a number of special stories outside the world of Chainsaw Man

In a new statement released to fans anticipating Chainsaw Man's anime adaptation, director Ryu Nakayama said the following, noting how hard the creative minds behind the series worked in order to make the show "what it was":

"The production staff, music artists, advertising staff, and all the other members who were involved in making of Chainsaw Man have worked hard to make this show what it is. We are sure that you will enjoy it, so please wait for the real-time airing."

Throughout the trailers and promotional material released before Chainsaw Man, it's clear that MAPPA is looking to stay true to the source material, especially when it comes to the gory battles throughout as Denji tries to keep a roof over his head, secure three square meals a day, and potentially get a girlfriend.
