Chainsaw Man: Revealed Trailer and Number Of Episodes Of The Anime Series From MAPPA
Those responsible for the anime adaptation of the Chainsaw Man manga have just presented the fourth and final trailer for the premiere of the series, in addition to definitively setting a date for its official debut. MAPPA, the same studio that took over Shingeki no Kyojin and Jujutsu Kaisen, will now adapt the story created by Tatsuki Fujimoto. The official synopsis of the production indicates that Denji would do anything for money, even go after demons with his evil dog, Pochita. A simple man with simple dreams who has many debts to pay.
But his sad life turns upside down when someone he trusts betrays him. Now with the power of the demon within, Denji welcomes a new man. Kikunosuke Toya will voice Denji, Tomori Kusunoki will play Makima, Shogo Sakata will transform into Aki Hayakawa, and Fairouz Ai will play Power. Kensuke Ushio, the man known for composing melodies for A Silent Voice and Devilman Crybaby, will be the composer for the new series.
Chainsaw Man was originally published in December 2018, with a run of 97 numbers, which were condensed into 11 volumes, published until December 2020. The manga returned in mid-July 2022, after two years of hiatus and resuming the story exactly where it left off, and now it’s on installment 101.

But that’s not all since MAPPA took the opportunity to give fans a taste of the opening track of the anime by Kenshi Yonezu and titled ‘KICK BACK‘.

The ending of the series will instead be different in each episode.
Some fans are not satisfied with the number of episodes of the animated adaptation of Chainsaw Man. They seem too few to transpose Fujimoto’s work uncut, which could be seen privately on the screen in some excellent moments of the manga. The 12 episodes announced, however, could only be the first cour of the series, with the second set to be announced later.
