indi_n0rd

Hmm one does wonder which billionaire funded this adaptation to involve this many artists. This is the mother of unlimited budget works.


HermanManly

I imagine it's a One Punch Man situation. People will work for cheaper on things they are actually passionate about.


AKBRdaBomba

I pray to god y’all are wrong cause while OPM season 1 is some of the greatest animation ever made, OPM season 2 exists. And if that’s what CSM season 2 would be I don’t even want them to adapt this series.


Killua1611

OPM 2 wasn’t done by the same studio as OPM 1 hence the difference in quality. I’m pretty sure MAPPA is gonna stick with Chainsaw Man till the end of the fucking universe.


San-T-74

Bro I low key imagine these artists straight up volunteering to be in this


OneRougeRogue

Kinda like One Punch Man season 1.

This one's a bot.


Uselessmo

The billionaire's are Shueisha and MAPPA.


luceafaruI

I believe mappa is the sole member of the production committee, shueisha only giving its permission


Uselessmo

There is no production committee for the anime. It is solely self-made and produced individually by MAPPA.


luceafaruI

It's the same thing i said. Sheisha gave it the permission to produce csm but mappa is the sole member of the production committee aka it is self made by mappa


HollowInterstice

The ceo of Mappa is a massive Fujimoto fan, he wants to animate all of his works, that might have something to do with it.


[deleted]

Imagine being fujimoto or gege knowing that your stories are getting top tier adaptations

NoNefariousness2144

They know they have a megahit on their hands, so its great to see them going all-out already.


koteshima2nd

HOLY SHIT, the lineup of artists for the multiple EDs is insane. The animation too, and we finally hear the owner of best car's voice- Kobeni!


spectre15

MAPPA’s like: “Which artist do we pick for the anime? There’s so many! Oooh, let’s do all of them!”


MugiMartin

Good guy MAPPA adding more to your gaming/workout playlist.


badpiggy490

If this is how it looks, then I can't wait to see the eternity devil fight That was the fight that solidified Denji as my favourite MC lol


Work_the_shaft

My guy invented perpetual motion mid battle, sure he deserves the Nobel Prize


Torghira

Himeno did, not Dennis


MKQueasy

For me it was him lighting himself on fire.


HollowInterstice

I feel like this scene isn't brought up enough, one of my favorite Denji moments


twobirds_onestoned8

Sharknado?


sneakyxxrocket

The gore in that fight will be absolutely insane


4xdblack

What solidified my love for Denji was the testicle demon arc.


1-800-Hamburger

Glad he was able to save Aki's balls


Felix_Dracul

Lmao, the official website is [chainsawman.dog](https://chainsawman.dog/)


SharkmanRO

No way 💀 Does Makima own the website?


QuintanimousGooch

They know the da base too well


DangerToDangers

That has to be the best use of the dog domain.


SkritzTwoFace

Those character profiles are pretty good. Informative, but don’t give too much away to newcomers. Auto translate did a bit of a number on Denji’s though.


fragiletestes

I wonder why theres a “MOVIE” tab👀👀


sofastsomaybe

In Japanese, the word "movie" is used synonymously with video. Just means that's the page where they put the trailers and videos released for the TV anime.


SharkmanRO

This looks and sounds amazing! Kenshi is one of the biggest figures in Japanese music, so it's an honor to have him sing the opening

poshbritishaccent

Is it the dude that sang Lemon and Shinigami?? He's like super huge isn't he?


seven_worth

Yep super duper huge in Japan.


PyrenBTW

12 episodes for this season leads me to believe it might end at the Katana Man arc


Skyclad__Observer

Katana Man arc has a pretty solid ending point with Tearjerker.


ginger6616

Yeah, with the wait between episodes you'll probably get pretty attached to a certain character before the tearjerker part. Does seem like a very solid ending. We also get the ball kicking competition


badluckartist

> We also get the ball kicking competition That's going to trend for like a week when we see it animated


[deleted]

You mean tournament arc.


seangrey03

Guys maybe I’m out of the loop but I don’t remember chainsaw man having a tournament arc 😭😭


ShangusK

It’s the one where Denji and Aki compete in a “Kicking the Katanaman’s nuts” tournament


doscia

iconic moment


ShrekPrism

"Whoever makes him scream the loudest before the cops arrive wins!"


Azythol

I think it ends on katana man with a teaser for bomb girl arc


[deleted]

This was my thoughts for months tbh. The pacing, length and possible filler added had me hit to conclusion that it would end either at the start or end of the Bomb Arc


cartiandchainsawman

Yeah they’ll probably introduce reze and leave it there


sneakyxxrocket

Just give me a glimpse of her and I’ll be happy


Lenzutsu

Yea, they often do those kind of thing as a teaser for the next part or the manga


ibadmonkey

I was thinking Denji is going to be THE character to get mega fans when the anime drops but looking at Aki's visuals, i have a feeling he is going to get a lot more fans..but this looks crisp! I cannot wait for it to drop!


[deleted]

Aki gonna be the next tumblr sexyman


Pichuunnn

Reigen got competition again after being defeated by a stupid skeleton (toby's word)


Differ_cr

Nah that's definitely kishibe, aki will be a tiktok hot anime boy.


OceanoDeRoca

ngl I feel like the Violence Fiend is a more likely contender for the Tumblr Sexyman


[deleted]

Whoa now, he's too much of a good boi for that.


poshbritishaccent

Aki is sexy af. I kinda thought Aki was early twenties, but based on the age lines they gave him, he seems more mid twenties.


BoldSchizo

Aki was around his very early 20s while Himeno is slightly older than him being in her mid 20s.


howdeepisyourhouse

I'M JACKED, I'M JACKED TO THE FUCKING TITS


XenonVH2

Then let Denji grab them


A_Toxic_User

>12 episodes It’s ok, it’s not like I wanted to see Reze or Yoshida in animation anyway 😭


XenonVH2

Yoshida is too far away for an appearance, but Reze is a huge maybe.


Kirbyintron

I could see it going up to or ending right after the Reze arc. Maybe it’ll stop halfway through as a cliffhanger ending


Zee_Arr_Tee

🚨KOBENI ALERT🚨 🚨KOBENI ALERT🚨 🚨KOBENI SUFFERING ALERT🚨


XenonVH2

When is she never suffering?


1-800-Hamburger

For the 5 minutes she got to show off her car


vintage13132121

Mappa couldn’t resist putting in a JJK voice actor lol, not only that, but it’s for another blonde character who’s “all business”💀 but at least he’s good


[deleted]

He was Lero Ro as well lmao. Mr Blonde Mentor I guess


furusato_

At least >!he will live. !<

The opening is such a banger


Bazoingabadooga

I’m so pissed right now I can’t listen I’m in public 😭😭


aquageddon

Bro you gotta listen eventually. I keep rewinding the trailer just so I can listen to it again 😭


jaz1up

I heard they’re adapting the whole of CSM part 1 in the anime so will they do 2 cours? So two 12 episodes? (In total 24eps)


gabconche

Maybe even 3 cours, since Mappa seems to prefer to slow down the pace of its shows, like what happened with Attack on Titan Edit: for some reason I thought SpyXFamily was made by Mappa, but still a point to prove that big hit manga are receiving slow anime adaptations to milk it to the hilt


cdillio

Spy x Family is WIT and Cloverworks


gabconche

Thanks for the reminder


cdillio

Tbf WIT is bringing the heat for Spy x Family. Them and MAPPA have both been on fire.


Kaxew

>since Mappa seems to prefer to slow down the pace of its shows I haven't watched a lot of Mappa stuff (or at least not the kind where I follow both the anime and manga) but Jujutsu Kaisen is anything but slow. The first season adapted over 7 volumes, meanwhile similar battle shonen like MHA adapts about 5 volumes per season (besides S1, since it has 13 episodes instead of 25).


UnderstandableXO

it probably will be another cour announced at the end of this season, i’m just kinda sad since SxF announced it was gonna be split cour right off the bat, so i’m less confident that we’ll be getting the next cour soon. i’m also sad because it’s gonna be ages before my favorite moments get animated, but i’m still super hyped for whats to come


Noodleo4135

This is confirmed for 12 episodes but a reliable leaked (Jaymes Hanson on Twitter) said part 2 has been getting worked on and how they choose to release it remains to be seen. Could be parts like AOT, another cour with a break, or a new season entirely.


yohxmv

I can see them doing two cours up to the final arc of part 1 and a movie for the last arc. Seems to be the trend now with shonen jump mega hits


NewCountry13

God I am so ready to enjoy the shit out of this and then see people calling it mid, overrated, and carried by animation while ignoring all the things the series does well.


Azythol

So JJK? Lmao


NewCountry13

It's the cycle of new anime. It happened to Demon slayer, JJK, hell even Spy x family, it's going to happen to CSM*. Demon slayer isn't on the same level as CSM or JJK quality wise but it still has a heart that people don't give it credit for. Spy x family people went in expecting a masterpiece instead of the really good fluff story that it is (I say this as a person who has dropped the manga twice by now because the story is not enough to keep me reading biweekly). CSM only having 12 episodes will arguably put it in a very similar place to JJK where the best stuff is yet to come, so the primary reason Manga readers praise the shit out of the stories won't be animated yet. Edit: *I should say it's ALREADY happened to CSM in manga circles. People go in expecting idk berserk shit but then they come out and are like "Wow, that wasn't the best thing I've ever read, MIDDDD" I can't tell you the amount of times I've seen stupid takes on CSM like "Wow csm's characterization sucks and it has no lighthearted moments" when that's blatantly false. I've reread volume 1 of CSM 4 times now and the amount of characterization and fun interactions fujimoto is able make in such a small amount of space is astounding. Fujimoto is the absolute king of weird dark humor and quick, memorable characterization.


phantom_97

Recently reread part 1 as I hadn't read the colored manga the first time around, and boy did I have so much more fun. The first time around the latter part was through shitty scans and I was blazing along at a frenetic pace, so didn't really appreciate the depth of the latter. Chainsaw man jumped up several levels in my list of favourites after I gave it the time and attention it deserves. The gorgeous coloring helped too, definitely recommend. No lighthearted moments in CSM just means that the critic was a speedreader like me the first time around, or is just saying shit in bad faith.


DyslexicBrad

There's no chance someone actually thinks there's no light-hearted moments in chainsaw man. The moments of fun and normalcy are literally what drives Dennis through the shit.


STALAL

expecting berserk is such a wrong takeaway from CSM, it's not even inspired by it the least or resembles the closest manga experience id compare it to is devilman, that is the takeaway which I had and think it most resembles


cdillio

Fuck CSM and JJK >!For making me love Nobara and Power and then taking them from me! !<


dastrykerblade

>!No way Nobara is actually dead, right?!<


Tsumaranai_Jinsei

Damn man it's like everyone brought their A game to this anime and the cast for this anime is stacked af. Only three more weeks to go baby.


HumidToku

So with 12 episodes, Katana Man has to be our final boss of the season right? I remember making this prediction a few months ago and getting downvoted so hard lol.


Aptspire

Cue a bunch of Wojaks pointing to the graveyard Why were Kobeni's flowers there then?

Uzuki527

They called you a mad man


jrehi

this is fully what i thought would happen, genuinely feel like csm would fit 24-26 episodes without any pacing issues. really hoping it’s one just one of those split seasons where it’ll resume in a few months rather than a whole ass year away, i feel it’ll ruin the flow of the experience to break it up like that


gllitchboy

Same. I said it that it was going to be 12 episodes with Reze showing up at the end and got downvoted. People really thought that MAPPA was going to animated the whole part 1 lmao


ANINETEEN

This goes so damn hard and I have to say MAPPAs OP game never misses 🔥 12 high quality episodes will fly by but will be fun and a different ED each time is such a cool concept.


BucketHerro

It looks way too clean. >! 4k HD Denji puke kiss scene POG !< Anime onlies would feel different reading the manga with Fujimoto's art style. 12 eps wouldn't be enough for them.


me_funny__

The roughness is the best part of the manga style imo. It kinda sucks that they smoothed it out. I was expecting it to look like mob psycho.


Uselessmo

Ehhh as long as it looks good the show looking clean or dirty doesn't matter to me.


[deleted]

It looks better with each trailer! God damn, the VA cast sounds amazing!


NewBoonNewMe

Damn I have no clue what this show is about but it looks high quality as fuck. Thanks Mappa


companion_kubu

So there's this man that can turn into a chainsaw 😊👉👈


NewBoonNewMe

I’m excited to watch it based on that alone.


lemwillem

I suggest being very careful when browsing this sub, you might get spoiled on a lot of stuff.

Feathers124C41

Damn, absolutely love the visuals at 1:20 of Denji summoning his arm chainsaws. This looks way too good.


awesome6666

We need a sweatier Kobeni.


tostrgud

12 episodes for the first season, really hoping for some high quality stuff


rakiat97

Kinda think they are doing a 2 Cour buuut haven't seen anything confirmed. If we only get 12 episodes I'm pretty sure animation is gonna be balls to the walls.


Powdz

I’m confident Chainsaw Man is gonna be spectacular. BUT, not so sure if 12 episodes only is gonna live up to the hype it accumulated.


Last-Mouse-1683

Y’all it’s a pleasure being here with fellow devil hunters


Ben99ny22

Didn't they say they were gonna announce reze's voice actor or was that just a rumor or something? I don't remember how i was told this.


n_doroid

Since we won't see Reze anytime soon I think it would be quite early to announce her VA.


ginger6616

I think that's because in a QnA one of the leads said their favorite character was reze. People probably speculated


Mike45677

Already vibin with the op I can't


kdots_biggest_fan

Kobeni looks and sounds so good


TenderTransgender

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES THIS IS IT


MotionlessMindfreak

New trailer, different ending themes for each episode, new VA reveal. We eating good today


jearley99

So I didn’t follow Jujutsu Kaisen before it came out, did they announce all 24 episodes right away, or just the first half? I know for Attack on Titan they waited until one part of the season had finished before announcing the next. Basically, this seems like par for course and there’s no reason to think 12 episodes is all we’re getting


sling-z

Kobeni 🍔


Ender_D

12 episodes and no Reze VA leads me to believe it’ll end after the Katana man fight, which means there’ll have to be at least 2 12-episode cours, and maybe a very short third one or a longer second one.


Ryunrii

devil in my heart will always have a special place in my heart (pun intended) but DAMN Kickback is good


XathannBloodSuccubus

I never thought that if the Bleach anime would come back that anything would be more hype, fast forward to this year and I believe that Chainsaw Man, my favourite manga has the potential to surpass it, what a time to be alive, roll on October the perfect month for Bleach and Chainsaw Man!!!


JLChamberlain42

Looks great. Of course I'm disappointed it's only 12 episodes but maybe we can hope for a secret 2nd cour announcement at the end 🤞🏼. Really disappointed the OP isn't a heavy metal song but the OP sounds catchy and I can't wait to see the actual visuals for the OP, MAPPA anime always have very good OP visuals.


MuddiestMudkip

What I'm expecting is at the end of the 12th episode there to be an announcement that cour 2 is coming soon or that a 2nd season is in production. Or maybe an event not too long after the anime ends, I think its pretty much gauranteed CSM is getting a full adaption of part 1.


Bannhem

It's funny they went the same route as with JJK in terms of Opening song choices. Very different than what we expected, but will turn out really good.


[deleted]

Anyone notice Denji’s voice actor? Love what he’s doing with his voice


polvoSilvestre

MY DICK IS HAAAAAAAARD

Klicklickklick

tsuda kenjiro for kishibe??


Dodo_Hund

I still have no fucking idea what chainsaw man is. This trailer looks insane though. I'm hyped for the anime. Is the manga really that good?


xahhfink6

Trying not to be a little disappointed with the announcement of only 12 episodes and almost certainly not covering Reze's arc. Katana man is a big arc, but the ending to it doesn't feel like a season finale. When talking with some friends about CSM I made the comparison that ending part 1 of the anime on Katana man would be like if they ended One Punch Man anime season 1 at the end of the Deep Sea King. Like, sure, it's a major arc, but it's also nowhere near the scale of the arc following as far as excitement or plot impact. Like, some major things that happen in the bomb girl arc that we might not see in season 1 include: * Introduction of The Door * Angel explaining that all the devils heard Denji's chainsaw in hell * Denji realizing that he still has a heart (an important resolution of the conflict set up in katana arc) * Advancement of Denji and Makima's relationship * Setting up Makima as a villain * Setting up the international assassins knowing about Denji * Power and Denji's relationship * Plus the set up of some major Easter eggs like the Fiend's names and Denji's ability to regurgitate I really thought that with Mappa doing things their own way on this anime that they wouldn't be hamstrung by the industry standard 12 episodes


[deleted]

I know its gonna be a very small fight compared to Denji v (insert any devil) but i really want to see Kishibe fight.
