Footage From CHAINSAW MAN Anime Series Will Probably Now Be Revealed In June

Manga readers will no doubt be familiar with the popular series Chainsaw Man. It’s sold over nine million copies during its initial run from 2018 to 2020. Created by Tatsuki Fujimoto, the series focuses on a man named Denji who finds himself being forced to work as a devil hunter to pay off his debts to the Yakuza. Then he’s killed by one of the devils he was assigned to eliminate. Now Denji finds himself being merged with his pet devil-dog Pochita. Now the former demon hunter being resurrected as an unstoppable demonic killing machine known as Chainsaw Man. With chainsaws literally protruding from his arms and head. This series clearly is not big on subtly, and we love it for that. If you have not yet experienced that madness that is Chainsaw Man, you can purchase all volumes of the manga series from Viz.com.

Chainsaw Man is currently being adapted into an anime series by MAPPA, the studio behind Zombie Land Saga, Jujutsu Kaisen, and Attack on Titan: The Final Season. There are currently no official publicity images. But it was confirmed on the Chainsaw Man Twitter account that the series would be showcased in some capacity at MAPPA’s upcoming 10th-anniversary event. That will take place on June 27 in Japan. This means that fans of the manga have just over two months to wait until they finally get their first look at the upcoming anime adaptation. A trailer for the show will probably be revealed at this event. So we don’t have much to go on at this point. But at least we know when we can expect to see the first footage from the anime adaptation.

Just like the manga, we expect the anime to be filled with over-the-top gore. And we can’t wait to see it. We know when the trailer will probably debut. But we still don’t know when the anime will air on Japanese television. Or when it will be released in the US. So we’ll be keeping our eyes open for more news on Chainsaw Man as it arrives.
