Souta Yamazaki is now credited as Sub Character Designer, with Sota Shigetsugu as Action Animation Director and Shoichi as the Main Animator. Riki Matsuura will design the devils alongside Kiyotaka Oshiyama, who is fresh off directing the anime film Look Back.
The Chainsaw Man TV anime, based on the manga of the same name by Tatsuki Fujimoto, premiered in Japan on October 11, 2022, with Crunchyroll streaming the anime as it aired. Crunchyroll describes the series as such:
Denji is a teenage boy living with a Chainsaw Devil named Pochita. Due to the debt his father left behind, he has been living a rock-bottom life while repaying his debt by harvesting devil corpses with Pochita.One day, Denji is betrayed and killed. As his consciousness fades, he makes a contract with Pochita and gets revived as “Chainsaw Man” — a man with a devil’s heart.
