Unfortunately, no specific release date was revealed at Jump Festa, but Chainsaw Man fans can already start preparing for a new wave of thrills and bloody surprises. Stay tuned for more information on this exciting second season of Chainsaw Man!
i wonder who is going to direct the movie now that the original director for Season 1 left MAPPA
i can see reze working as a pretty good standalone movie.
but dang, i hope they aren't working everyone too hard (they are)
The team at MAPPA that did CSM went from JJK S1 to the JJK:0 movie (that they made in 4 months!!!, which is insane when you watch the movie and see it's relative quality) to CSM to JJK S2 with no breaks.
Announcing this movie now obviously means they're gonna do this after JJK S2 ends, and then they're probably gonna do JJK S3 or CSM S2. Unless they form a new team just for CSM.
Like, I want my anime adaptations but not when it actively hurts people
since reze arc is going to be a movie i wonder how MAPPA is going to adapt the last 3 arcs, they could make one long season with the last 3.
hopefully the negative outcry MAPPA got during the start of the year and during the airing of JJK will force them to not overwork their animator as much as they did for the JJK0 movie
Lmao this is capitalism my man we don't have human rights in this mf.
The Reze arc ends on chapter 52, and part 1 ends on chapter 97. So 45 chapters in 12 episodes would be slightly more than season 1, which adapted 39 chapters in 12 episodes. They could speed up the pacing or do 13-14 episodes. Either way, I think a second season after the movie will definitely wrap up part 1.
I'm really glad they're making the Reze arc a movie, it's the most standalone arc out and is structured pretty well for movie format. There's a lot of buildup with Makima and Denji at the cinema, Aki and Angel and Denji and Beam's interactions, the dates with Reze, and Reze's reveal should come around the end of the second act. There's not really any action at all until the fight with Reze, and then it's a massive fight, so it's a good set up and immediate pay off.
Also if they didn't do it this way, a second season would either have to be longer or cut off right after the international assassins arc which would make the final arc seen very seperate
