Written and illustrated by Tatsuki Fujimoto, the Chainsaw Man manga series is getting an anime adaptation from MAPPA, and a bloody and violent teaser has been unleashed today.
Preview the gory, monster-filled mayhem below!
Wikipedia explains, “The anime is directed by Ryū Nakayama (director) and Makoto Nakazono (chief episode director), with scripts by Hiroshi Seko, character designs by Kazutaka Sugiyama and devil designs by Kiyotaka Oshiyama. Tatsuya Yoshihara is serving as action director, Yūsuke Takeda is directing the art. Naomi Nakano is the color key artist and Yohei Miyahara is designing the screens. The music is composed by Kensuke Ushio.”
Bloody Disgusting’s Michael Pementel raved about the Chainsaw Man manga last summer, writing: “If you are in need of a new adrenaline rush, then don’t miss out on Chainsaw Man.”
The manga centers on Denji, a devil hunter who’s part human and part devil. His super-power? Well, his face turns into a chainsaw, and he’s got chainsaws strapped to his arms as well!
