Chainsaw Man (Complete Season 1)
Available:April 2 |Creator:Hiroshi Seko
Starring (English Dub):Ryan Colt Levy, Suzie Yeung, Reagan Murdock, and Sarah Wiedenheft
Japan and the art of anime as a whole are easily the pioneers of modern-day storytelling, introducing ideas that are so surreal and so original that they become instant classics. That’s very much the case for the adaptation of the beloved manga of the same name,Chainsaw Man(2022-), which is a very different kind of superhero story. As the name implies, this is a series that follows an individual that is part man, part chainsaw, and if you can actually believe it, that’s not the weirdest aspect of the show. Once upon a time, Denji (Ryan Colt Levy) was a completely average young man, until he was betrayed and left for dead before being reincarnated as the vengeful and bloodthirsty Chainsaw Man. Oh, and we should also mention that this is a world where devils and humans coexist as if it were normal and Denji used to be a devil hunter for the local Yakuza. Overall, pretty straightforward and normal stuff. Joking aside,Chainsaw Manhas earned its reputation as an over-the-top, bloody, action-packed spectacle that is a visual treat.
The complete first season ofChainsaw Manis available to stream on Hulu starting Sunday, April 2.
