After reports that more news is coming this August, we got more new info a bit early with the release of the new Chainsaw Man anime key visual, along with a release date announcement for the new trailer.
The key visual for the anime was shared on the Chainsaw Man official Twitter. There, new information on the series was also revealed.
Check out the visual here:
The new Chainsaw Man visual shows the main character Denji in his Chainsaw form amidst broken buildings. While there’s not much gore in the visual, it does feature lots of blood droplets – a good fit for the violent nature of the series.
The visual also features the series’ logo title in Japanese.
For the trailer, it was announced that the new trailer for the series will be unveiled at a MAPPA stage event on August 5, 2022, at 8 PM JST (7 AM EST / 4 AM PST). The event will be live-streamed on the MAPPA YouTube channel.
The live stream page is already up now on YouTube, even if there are still 7 days to go before the event.
Aside from the trailer, MAPPA will also reveal the Chainsaw Man main voice actor cast during the event. It can be expected then that MAPPA will announce the voice actors for Denji, Power, Aki, Makima, and other principal characters.
Chainsaw Man is a manga series by Tasuki Fujimoto which began serialization on Weekly Shonen Jump back in December 2018. The manga continues to be one of the most popular in Shueisha’s lineup.
An anime series adaptation was announced in 2020, with animation being handled by MAPPA.
Currently, there’s no word yet on a Chainsaw Man anime release date, though it has been announced before that the series will premiere sometime in 2022.
The new announcement did not mention if there will be a release date reveal during the MAPPA Stage event on August 5.
