What happens

Chainsaw Man (チェンソーマン, Chensō Man) is a Japanese anime television series produced by MAPPA, based on the manga series Chainsaw Man by Tatsuki Fujimoto. The series was directed by Ryū Nakayama, with series composition and scripts by Hiroshi Seko. Makoto Nakazono and Tatsuya Yoshihara respectively served as chief episode director and action director, with character designs by Kazutaka Sugiyama and demon designs by Kiyotaka Oshiyama. The series' music was composed by Kensuke Ushio. Unlike typical anime in which a production committee consisting of multiple companies is formed to regulate production, the series was solely produced by its animation studio, MAPPA. The series aired on TV Tokyo and its TXN affiliates from October 12 to December 28, 2022. Crunchyroll licensed the series for worldwide streaming outside of East Asia. Medialink obtained the licensing for Southeast Asia. A sequel film, titled Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc, was released by Toho in Japan on September 19, 2025. An anime adaptation of the manga's "Assassins" arc has been announced. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
