Chainsaw Man Is Heading to Crunchyroll Later This Year

The hotly anticipated Studio MAPPA adaptation will simulcast alongside its Japanese broadcast later this year

Tatsuki Fujimoto’s hyper-gory Chainsaw Man has been lighting up manga circles since its debut in 2018.

It’s about to get a whole new level of interest thanks to Studio MAPPA’s (Jujutsu Kaisen, Attack on Titan: The Final Season, and more) anime adaptation—and now we know it’ll be airing outside of Japan later this year.

To the surprise of absolutely no one who regularly watches anime at this point, Crunchyroll has confirmed that it indeed will be the home of Chainsaw Man when it broadcasts later this year. The streamer will release Chainsaw Man simultaneously with its broadcast on Japanese TV, in both subtitled and dubbed formats (including English, Latin American Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, French, and German dubs) in over 200 countries outside of Japan.
