Chainsaw Man is coming to Anime Expo 2022! The upcoming anime is getting its own panel at the highly anticipated convention. Not surprisingly, it sounds like there will be some major updates during the event!
Crunchyroll recently unveiled its slate of panels and special events for this year's Anime Expo at the Los Angeles Convention Center. The streamer confirmed that it will host panels for several major anime franchises including Chainsaw Man, which will feature the producers from MAPPA.
Although it has not yet been confirmed who will attend the panel, it was revealed that the event will take place on Monday, July 4, 2022, at the Main Events Hall of the Los Angeles Convention Center. Additionally, the panel will be hosted by Crunchyroll's Kyle Cardine.
This is great news for fans who have been waiting for updates on Chainsaw Man for some time now. But does this mean we'll finally get a new trailer and release date for the anime? Although people are hoping that the news will be dropped during Anime Expo 2022, there is a possibility that we'll have to wait a little longer for a trailer and release date. Still, fans remain hopeful that the update is coming very soon.
It was previously reported that Chainsaw Man will air in Fall 2022 and will consist of two cours (meaning the season will be split into two parts). However, this has not yet been confirmed by MAPPA.
Chainsaw Man follows Denji, a young man living in poverty and working off his deceased father's debt to the yakuza by working as a devil hunter. He is aided by Pochita, his canine companion and Chainsaw Devil. But when Denji is betrayed by the Yakuza and left for dead, he merges with Pochita and becomes a human-devil Hybrid. After Denji massacres the yakuza, he is approached by Makima who convinces him to join a team of governmental devil hunters known as the Public Safety Division.
For now, Chainsaw Man has not yet been given an official release date. However, the anime is already expected to premiere sometime in 2022. Stay tuned for more updates on this story.
