After a long wait for an update, we finally know when we can expect to see it chainsaw man The anime is back; and it turns out, it’s going to be back in movie form.
It’s been a full year since the final episode of Chainsaw Season 1 aired, but no one has yet revealed where Season 2 might take place. Well, it turns out there won’t be a second season, because at last weekend’s Jump Festa 2024, it was revealed that the next installment of the comic will be adapted into a movie. The film is called “Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc”. The protagonist Denji will meet a mysterious girl named Reze in the process of getting to know each other. It’s a fairly short arc, so going any further than that would spoil what happens, but this is also where the series really starts to pick up steam.
You can check out the trailer above, but aside from confirming its existence, there’s no word yet on who will direct, but Mapa will once again be producing the film.Manga creator Tatsuki Fujimoto has previously said that the 1999 animated film “Wolf” was a big influence on Razor’s arc, and says it again Recommended for everyone to watch at this year’s Jump Festa.
Those who watched the first season of the anime might actually recognize Rez, as she was teased at the end of the final episode. She’s played by Reina Ueda, who you might recognize as Kanao Tsuyuri in Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba and who will reprise the role in the upcoming film.
Beyond that, we’ll just have to wait and see to find out more. There isn’t even a release date yet, but for comparison, the animated series’ cinematic prequel Jujutsu Kaisen 0 was announced in March 2021 and released the same year. So it’s not entirely surprising that the Saw movie is coming out in 2024 – just don’t get me carried away.
