Rip-Roaring Trailer for the CHAINSAW MAN Anime Series
The hit manga series Chainsaw Man is getting an anime adaptation and the first trailer has been released! As you might expect, the series looks like it’ll be insane bloody fun! The story is wonderfully crazy and the visuals just explode with crazy energy. You’ll see what I mean when you watch this rip-roaring trailer!
The Chainsaw Man manga was created, written, and illustrated by Tatsuki Fujimoto, and the series was directed by Ryū Nakayama (Fate/Grand Order Absolute Demonic Front: Babylonia; The Rising of the Shield Hero).
In Chainsaw Man, “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.
“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 anime adaptation comes from MAPPA, and it will be coming to Crunchyroll this October! Crunchyroll will simulcast the series from Japan, subtitled and dubbed, in more than 200 countries and territories around the world. Dubs will include English, Latin American Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, French, and German.
The voice cast includes Kikunosuke Toya as Denji, Tomori Kusunoki (Natsume in Deca-Dence) as Makima, Shogo Sakata (Karin Sasaki in Fire Force) as Aki Hayakawa, and Fairouz Ai (Jolyne Kujo in JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean) as Power
