Back in May Crunchyroll announced they would be bringing the anticipated anime Chainsaw Man to the US. We’ve now got some more information on what to expect — a new trailer, a full cast list and more.
The name “Chainsaw Man” implies a certain kind of shameless hyper-violence, and that’s what you get. It takes place in a dark world where creatures known as Devils are spawned from the collective fears and negative thoughts of humanity. Someone’s gotta hunt them, and that guy was fearless teenager Denji, until he died. Oh, no, wait, he’s back again, thanks to merging with his pet Devil Pochita to transform into the powerful Chainsaw Man. The anime will be adapting the manga’s first arc, “Public Safety” (nothing below looks very safe).
Chainsaw man is a big enough release that Crunchyroll plans to Simuldub it — make both the sub and the dub available on the same day. Here’s the full list of who’s involved…
Kikunosuke Toya as Denji
Tomori Kusunoki (Natsume in Deca-Dence) as Makima
Shogo Sakata (Karin Sasaki in Fire Force) as Aki Hayakawa
Fairouz Ai (Jolyne Kujo in JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean) as Power

Assistant Director: Masato Nakazono (JUJUTSU KAISEN; SSSS.Gridman)
Screenplay: Hiroshi Seko (Mob Psycho 100; JUJUTSU KAISEN)
Background Art Director: Yusuke Takeda (Vinland Saga; JUJUTSU KAISEN)
Character Design: Kazutaka Sugiyama (Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation)
Devil Design: Kiyotaka Oshiyama (Flip Flappers; Space Dandy)
