New Chainsaw Man Spinoff Announced Ahead of New Movie

The popular manga series “Chainsaw Man” is set to hit Japanese cinemas later this year, preceded by a unique spin-off anime leading up to the release of “Chainsaw Man: The Movie – Reze Arc”. After a hiatus following the initial television anime adaptation several years ago, “Chainsaw Man” returns with a new movie that delves into the next significant storyline from Tatsuki Fujimoto’s original comic series. As the film is scheduled to release in Japanese theaters this Fall, the franchise has planned some exciting ways to build excitement among fans, eagerly awaiting its action-packed return.

In a fresh twist, there’s an upcoming spin-off anime titled “Chainsaw Days.” This new series consists of short episodes based on supplementary manga content that hasn’t been adapted into anime yet. It focuses on smaller character portrayals and stories not directly related to the main intense events from the original manga. These spin-off episodes will be released alongside a new collection of compilation films. Here’s a sneak peek at the first episode of “Chainsaw Days.

What Is Chainsaw Days?

The upcoming event is the premiere of a special series titled “Chainsaw Days,” accompanied by two parts of a compilation film named “Chainsaw Man – The Compilation Part I” and “Part II.” These films are set to release in Japan this September. Excitingly, Crunchyroll has confirmed that they will stream the new films for audiences across North America, Central America, South America, Europe, Africa, Oceania, the Middle East, CIS, and other regions. With such a wide reach, fans are optimistic about getting a glimpse of these spinoff releases as well. As everyone eagerly awaits more news, “Chainsaw Man” is rumored to have significant plans for the upcoming movie itself.

Titled “Chainsaw Man: The Movie – Reze Arc,” this upcoming film is set to premiere in Japan on September 19th, followed by a US release by Sony Pictures Entertainment on October 29th. This indicates that fans residing outside of Japan won’t have long to wait before enjoying the new movie, which is particularly exciting news for those who have been eagerly anticipating more anime since the conclusion of its first season three years ago. With this in mind, it might be wise to brush up on all the previous content before the movie arrives.

What Is Chainsaw Man’s New Movie About?

In the upcoming “Chainsaw Man: The Movie – Reze Arc,” MAPPA subtly hints at the plot as follows: “Denji transforms into ‘Chainsaw Man’, a young man with a devil’s heart, and joins Special Division 4’s team of devil hunters. Following a date with Makima, Denji seeks refuge from the rain when he encounters Reze, a café worker.” The title and synopsis suggest that this film continues directly from where the initial season ended in the series.

To stay updated on the latest developments in the Chainsaw Man anime, you can currently stream it (with both English and Japanese audio options) exclusively on Crunchyroll. As a precursor to the upcoming movie which continues the story, it’s advisable to reacquaint yourself with the plot as it won’t be providing much explanation or guidance.
