Crunchyroll has carved out a home for the highly anticipated anime adaptation of Chainsaw Man, which will simulcast on the streaming service when it airs in Japan later this year.
Chainsaw Man will be available to stream on Crunchyroll in one of its upcoming seasons and will be subtitled and dubbed in more than 200 countries and territories worldwide to give more people access to the supernatural world of Devils manifested from the collective fears of humans. And those fears are only set to escalate with the arrival of this new poster:
Based on Tatsuki Fujimoto's widely popular and award-winning manga of the same name, Chainsaw Man follows a teenage Devil Hunter named Denji who makes a contract with his pet Devil, Pochita, in order to be resurrected from the dead, thus becoming "Chainsaw Man" — a man with a devil's heart who can transform parts of his body into functioning chainsaws.
"With dark humor, dynamic characters and a sharp story, Chainsaw Man is one of the most anticipated new series this year, and we are wickedly excited to bring it to fans on the Crunchyroll service," said Asa Suehira, Chief Content Officer at Crunchyroll. "Anime fans will be up all night thinking about the spectacular visuals and high-octane action."
The series is directed by Ryū Nakayama from a screenplay by Attack on Titan scribe Hiroshi Seko. Art director Yusuke Takeda has helped to bring the story to screen alongside character designers Kazutaka Sugiyame and Kiyotaka Oshiyama, who took charge of the devil design, while Kensuke Ushio composed the music for the MAPPA-produced adaptation.
Chainsaw Man is easily one of the most anticipated new anime titles of the year, alongside the likes of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, a 10-episode series set in the Cyberpunk 2077 universe, Spriggan, an anime based on the classic manga by Hiroshi Takashige, and Attack on Titan: The Final Season Part 2, which is now available to stream on Crunchyroll and Funimation.
