Crunchyroll announced earlier this week that the upcoming Chainsaw Man anime, based on the Tatsuki Fujimoto manga of the same name, will be made available to stream on its platform when it airs later this year.
The anime production is being done by Mappa, known for the production of Attack on Titan: The Final Season as well as Jujutsu Kaisen.
The series will follow a young boy named Denji, who resides in a supernatural world where demons roam.
These demons are manifested from humanity’s collective fears, and Denji shares his days with a pet devil named Pochita.
Denji lives a resentful life, as he is tasked with harvesting devil corpses which he does with the help of Pochita to repay the huge debt left behind by his father.
One day, Denji is betrayed and is fatally wounded. As his consciousness fades, he makes a contract with Pochita and gets revived as a man with a devil’s heart.
Denji then lives somewhat of a normal life, but when his demonic duty calls, he can transform himself into the unsettling “Chainsaw Man”.
“With dark humour, dynamic characters, and a sharp story, Chainsaw Man is one of the most anticipated new series this year, and we are excited to bring it to fans on the Crunchyroll service,” said Crunchyroll’s chief content officer Asa Suehira.
“Anime fans will be up all night thinking about the spectacular visuals and high-octane action,” he added.
Crunchyroll has also noted that the series will come with additional dubs, including in English.
