Where to watch Chainsaw Man streaming

Crunchyroll remains the best place to watch this type of anime. The platform streams its series via simulcast, shortly after they air in Japan. So that’s where you’ll want to keep an eye out for the next installment, *Assassins Arc*, which has been announced by MAPPA but doesn’t yet have a release date.

You can check the simulcast schedule directly on the website or in the app.

Subscription provides access to the entire anime catalog, without ads.

That's also where you'll find other popular series such as Solo Leveling.

If you're subscribed to Amazon Prime Video, you can also watch the series by adding the channel Crunchyroll to your subscription. Please note: It is not included in the basic Prime catalog; there is an additional charge for this channel.

Why You Should Avoid Illegal Websites

You're bound to come across websites that offer the anime for free without a license. It's best to avoid them: they stream content protected by the copyright without permission from the Japanese studios.

These sites are constantly changing their addresses and closing down on a regular basis. Official platforms such as Crunchyroll guarantee you a clean interface, reliable episode tracking, and support available through the app or web browser.

What do you need to know about *Chainsaw Man*?

Chainsaw Man is an anime based on the manga by Tatsuki Fujimoto. Season 1 has 12 episodes, first broadcast in October 2022 and produced by the studio MAPPA, also known for Jujutsu Kaisen and the final season of Attack on Titan.

From the manga to the anime *Chainsaw Man*

The manga is first published in Japan before MAPPA did not direct the animated adaptation. The series' success is largely due to its main character extraordinary: Denji is raw, driven by very simple, human desires, a far cry from the perfect hero.

This raw and offbeat tone has won over anime fans around the world, and the series has established itself alongside hits such as Demon Slayer Where Blue Lock.

Synopsis

The story takes place in a world where the demons arise from human fear. The more something is feared, the more powerful the demon that arises from it.

Denji is a young man burdened by his father's debts who hunts demons for the yakuza. One day, the yakuza betray him and kill him. His demon companion, Pochita, then merges with him to bring him back to life.

He then becomes half-man, half-demon: the Chainsaw Man, the chainsaw man. And so begins a violent, funny, and unpredictable adventure.
