The new horror anime Chainsaw Man lives up to its name. A young man named Denji with a singular mindset is able to turn into, well, a chainsaw man. Specifically, blades appear on his head and out of his arms. With these blades, he fights devils with the hope of getting a kiss from his boss, the mysterious Makima. He also partners with Power, a fiend, and the curmudgeonly Aki. As he slices through devils, blood and gore fly across the screen with glorious and disgusting abandon.
Read the full synopsis:
Denji is a teenage boy living with a Chainsaw Devil named Pochita. Due to the debt his father left behind, he has been living a rock-bottom life while repaying his debt by harvesting devil corpses with Pochita. One day, Denji is betrayed and killed. As his consciousness fades, he makes a contract with Pochita and gets revived as “Chainsaw Man”—a man with a devil’s heart.
Dread Central spoke with Chainsaw Man voice actors Suzie Yeung (Makima) and Sarah Wiedenheft (Power) about the difficulties of these roles and giving into the chaos.
