Chainsaw Man’s Back, and he’s going to the movies

While Chainsaw Man’s manga has put fans through the wringer in the last few years, we haven’t heard about his good enough anime adaptation in a long time. Studio MAP has been quite busy, but last year, he revealed that he wanted to Denji and Pochita not with a new season, but a movie – which had its first look at the Jump Party this weekend.

Based on the manga’s “Reze” arc, the film finds Denji excited to finally go on a date with his boss Makima. Not long after that he finds himself crossing paths with a sweet girl named Reze who seems to like hanging out with him, and the young man (the chainsaw) can’t help but be smitten with her. Unfortunately, it turns out that Reze’s intentions are not as pure as they seem, and she is a Devil, just like him. As such, Denji must fight with his new crush and save Japan from the chaos he wants to cook. And part of it will involve riding a shark in the air because… well, it is the chain man sometimes it’s just part of the job.

When MAPPA’s work looks good, it looks good good, and this movie seems to be no exception. Between Chainsaw Man’s first season and cutsthe studio engages continuously – often literally, and in troubling ways— and you can see the results of that effort here. U cuts The film is expected to drop in 2025, in what will be a pretty big year for MAPPA: in addition to this, his other film Rose of Versailles falls, and will be released Lazarus for adult swimming, the original series Zenshu, and another season of Campfire Cooking in another world with my absurd skill.

As for when Chainsaw Man’s get a good season two, MAPPA did not say. But if it’s new season for Jujutsu KaisenRanma 1/2, and Hell’s paradise come, which I hope can not be far.
