March 2025 Will Be a Big Month For Chainsaw Man's First Movie
Chainsaw Man - The Movie: Reze Arc is set to be the first film in the massively popular franchise, covering a section of the story fans believe to be one of the very best. Revealed at Jump Festa in December to be scheduled for a 2025 release, the follow up to 2022's Chainsaw Man anime series has been highly anticipated since its initial teaser trailer was first dropped. Some fans may have been disappointed that the latest sneak peek of the film did not include a release date, but it seems confirmation may be just around the corner.
A post from the official Chainsaw Man X account has revealed the series will be taking part in the upcoming AnimeJapan 2025 expo, headlining a panel that appears to be focusing entirely on the Reze Arc film. The event will take place on March 23, and will feature both Denji's and Makima's voice actors. Though no confirmation has been given about what exactly will be revealed during the panel, it's a safe bet that major details will be shared.
Chainsaw Man's Upcoming Film Is Finally On the Horizon
After a Long Wait, the New Chainsaw Man Movie Will Be Coming Soon
Chainsaw Man's Reze Arc film was initially announced nearly a year after the anime's first season concluded, and then another year passed before the first proper trailer was revealed. Nearly 100 chapters of the manga were released within that time frame, and fans were hardly able to hold it together while waiting for updates on the movie. Now, it seems the continuation of the wildly popular anime is just around the corner, and is set to feature some of studio MAPPA's finest work yet.
With a new director spearheading the project, the upcoming film will showcase an all-new visual style for the series. Tatsuya Yoshihara, who previously lent his directorial talents to Black Clover, won the job after the series' previous director, Ryu Nakayama, left MAPPA to open his own animation studio. Many fans believe the first season's art style didn't quite match the tone of the source material, and will be excited about a change in direction.
The Reze Arc Is One of Chainsaw Man's Most Important Sections
Chainsaw Man's Story Begins Coming Together During the Reze Arc
Though Chainsaw Man was one of 2022's most popular anime, its first season left fans itching for more. One reason for that is the manga's generally slower start, which takes time to build its world and characters before setting its larger story into motion. It's a popular belief among the fan base that the series comes into the reputation that now precedes it during this stretch of chapters.
Featuring a touch of romance and action on the largest scale the manga has ever seen, the Reze Arc is just the beginning of what makes Chainsaw Man so special. The upcoming panel focusing on the film will give further details about its release, and fans won't want to miss what the incredibly popular franchise has in store this March. Until then, Tatsuki Fujimoto's original manga has just completed its latest arc, leaving no better time for fans to jump in and catch up.
