Chainsaw Man Anime Confirms Release Window
The Chainsaw Man is on his way and a new trailer has arrived to prove it. With the story of Denji resonating amongst fans in the pages of its manga, the upcoming anime adaptation from Studio MAPPA has let fans know when to expect the series to arrive. Luckily, for those waiting for the world of Tatsuki Fujimoto in motion, anime viewers won't be waiting too much longer for the first episode to premiere of Chainsaw Man.
Chainsaw Man will be hitting Crunchyroll this October, though a specific release date has yet to be revealed for when the world of devils will arrive. Recently, in Chainsaw Man's manga, the second chapter of the world of devils began, with Denji nowhere to be found and a young high-schooler named Asa Mikata taking his place. Harboring the power of the War Devil, Asa is set on a collision course with the Chainsaw Devil, though the current status of the former protagonist remains a mystery.
If you somehow managed to avoid the new trailer for Chainsaw Man's first season, you can watch it below, with MAPPA using their skills learned from the likes of Attack on Titan, Jujutsu Kaisen, and The God of High School in bringing Denji's story to the masses outside of the manga:
The cast and crew that will be involved with Chainsaw Man's anime include Kikunosuke Toya (Tokyo 24th Ward) as Denji, Tomori Kusunoki (Tiger & Bunny) as Makima, Shogo Sakata (Pokemon & My Hero Academia) as Aki Hayakawa, and Fairouz Ai (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean) as Power. Ryū Nakayama (Black Clover and Jujutsu Kaisen) is the anime's director, and Hiroshi Seko (Attack on Titan) is the scriptwriter.
The official description of Chainsaw Man reads as such from Crunchyroll:
"Denji was a small-time devil hunter just trying to survive in a harsh world. After being killed on a job, he is revived by his pet devil-dog Pochita and becomes something new and dangerous-Chainsaw Man!"
