One of the most explosive anime hits in recent years, Chainsaw Man follows Denji, a devil hunter who merges with his pet chainsaw devil, as he fights for a normal life in a monstrous world.
Chainsaw Man blends ultraviolent action with dark comedy and heartfelt drama, following Denji from his brutal debt-ridden beginnings to his new life as a public safety devil hunter. Adapted from Tatsuki Fujimoto's wildly popular manga, the series is known for its unpredictable tone shifts, stunning animation from studio MAPPA, and a willingness to subvert typical shonen anime conventions at every turn.
π Release Order
Release order is straightforward, following the anime's TV debut and its first feature film continuation.
- Chainsaw Man (2022)
- Chainsaw Man β The Movie: Reze Arc (2025)
Story chronology follows release order exactly, with the movie continuing directly from where the TV series left off.
π Story Chronology
The story progresses in a single continuous timeline, picking up with Denji's next major arc immediately after the events of the TV series.
- Chainsaw Man (2022)
- Chainsaw Man β The Movie: Reze Arc (2025)
Which Order Should You Choose?
Watch the TV series first to get to know Denji and the Public Safety Devil Hunters, then continue with the Reze Arc movie, which is a direct continuation rather than a side story. Manga readers will notice the anime and movie closely follow the source material, making either version a great entry point before catching up with the ongoing story in print.
