It’s finally happening! The latest Weekly Shonen Jump just officially confirmed that a Chainsaw Man anime is headed our way. We also couldn’t be happier that MAPPA studio will be taking charge on the animation, especially given their track record with anime like Dorohedoro, Dororo, Jujutsu Kaisen, and Attack on Titan: The Final Season.
Out of all the series, this is the manga we wanted to see adapted most and we couldn’t be happier that it’s finally getting its time on the screen! You can check out the official announcement and first visual release below.

Chainsaw Man Anime Visual
In addition to Chainsaw Man‘s anime announcement, they also revealed that the final chapter that just released is not the end of Chainsaw Man, but rather the end of the first arc. Serialization for Part 2 of the manga has already been decided, so more chapters are coming in the future!
The major announcement they previously teased was already made, but more information is sure to come during Jump Festa 2021, which is taking place on December 19-20th. Chainsaw Man is going to have its own stage presentation during the event.
They’ve also revealed a new website for the adaptation and an official Twitter account, which you can follow to stay updated on Chainsaw Man‘s upcoming adaptation! As of now, little details about the release or an expected release date have yet to be revealed, but we will keep you posted as we learn more!
