It's rare that a manga franchise reaches absurd levels of popularity before receiving an accompanying anime adaptation, but Chainsaw Man has never really been a story that follows rules. After building itself quite a following during its initial run in Weekly Shōnen Jump, the anime by studio MAPPA became one of the most anticipated ever in the months leading up to its release in 2022. Now, after a long wait, Chainsaw Man is set to return with its upcoming Reze Arc movie, which will land in U.S. theaters this October.
