The anime adaptation, produced by MAPPA Studios, debuted in 2022 and was met with critical acclaim for its vibrant animation and compelling storytelling. The first season, spanning 12 episodes, covered up to the Katana Man Arc.
Fans eagerly await the next installment, but instead of a second season, MAPPA surprised audiences with a cinematic adaptation of the Bomb Girl Arc, Chainsaw Man: The Movie—Reze Arc. This film is expected to bridge the gap to future anime episodes.
