Chainsaw Man’s Again, and He is Going To the Motion pictures

Whereas Chainsaw Man’s manga has been placing followers by means of the wringer the previous few years, we’ve not heard a lot about its fairly good anime adaptation in fairly some time. Studio MAPPA’s been fairly busy, however final yr, it revealed it’d return to Denji and Pochita not with a brand new season, however a film—which received its first take a look at this weekend’s Leap Festa.

Primarily based on the manga’s “Reze” arc, the movie finds Denji excited to lastly go on a date together with his boss Makima. It’s not lengthy after that he finds himself crossing paths with a candy lady named Reze who appears to love hanging out with him, and the younger (chainsaw) man can’t assist however be smitten along with her. Sadly, it seems Reze’s intentions aren’t fairly as pure as they appeared, and she or he’s a Satan, similar to him. As such, Denji’s gotta battle his new crush and save Japan from the chaos she desires to cook dinner up. And a part of that may contain using a shark in midair as a result of…nicely, it’s Chainsaw Man, generally that’s simply a part of the job.

When MAPPA’s work appears good, it appears good, and this film appears to be no exception. Between Chainsaw Man’s first season and Reze, the studio’s regularly pushed itself—usually actually, and in worrying ways—and you’ll see the outcomes of that effort right here. The Reze film’s anticipated to drop in 2025, in what’s going to be a fairly large yr for MAPPA: along with this, its different movie Rose of Versailles is dropping, and it’ll be releasing Lazarus for Grownup Swim, the unique collection Zenshu, and one other season of Campfire Cooking in One other World with My Absurd Ability. 

As for when Chainsaw Man’s getting a correct season two, MAPPA didn’t say. But when new seasons for Jujutsu Kaisen, Ranma 1/2, and Hell’s Paradise are coming, that hopefully can’t be far behind.
