Chainsaw Man fans have been waiting for years to see Denji and his crew of devil hunters hit the small screen, with last year seeing the arrival of the first trailer for the upcoming anime adaptation for Studio MAPPA. With the animation house having a panel at this year’s Anime Expo, fans were disappointed that no new trailer, or footage of any kind, was released to the anime community and are taking their disappointment to the ‘net as Tatsuki Fujimoto’s story of blood and emotion readies to make landfall in a brand new way.

During the Anime Expo panel, series composer Hiroshi Seko, the chief executive officer of MAPPA Manabu Otsuka, and the executive director of MAPPA Makoto Kimura dove further into the production of the long-awaited anime series while also taking the opportunity to address fan questions. Though there was no new trailer in hand, the creative minds behind the series promised fans that the blood and violence that permeated Tatsuki Fujimoto’s original tale will be intact. The MAPPA staff also assured fans that the manga’s creator had a heavy hand in the creation of the anime, with the second part of Chainsaw Man’s manga set to also arrive this year.
