Chainsaw Man, the anime based on the work of Tatsuki Fujimoto, has managed to capture the attention of fans since its premiere in 2022 thanks to its unusual protagonist with a chainsaw on his head. In order to celebrate its success and help followers catch up with the story, Crunchyroll has announced the release of two recap movies titled The Compilation, which will arrive on the platform in September.

The movies will include revised episodes from the first season of the anime and new content through Chainsaw Days, an adaptation of extra episodes from the original manga. The first part covers the story up to the Eternity Demon, while the second will conclude the season’s arc. This initiative aims to rekindle interest in the series, especially after the first season concluded at the end of 2022, leaving a gap in the programming that other works, such as Solo Leveling, tried to fill.
The great return of Chainsaw Man does not stop on digital platforms. On October 31, Chainsaw Man: The Movie – The Reze Arc will premiere in theaters, extending its reach to audiences in countries like Spain. This movie promises to continue the excitement and intense battles that have defined the series.
This year is significant for anime, as Chainsaw Man joins other productions like Demon Slayer, Jujutsu Kaisen, and My Hero Academia, which have also made a remarkable transition to the big screen. The growth of the genre is undeniable, and with figures from platforms like Netflix reflecting its increasing popularity, it is clear that anime is at its peak. However, there are also rumors suggesting that the industry may continue to explore other narrative universes, which opens doors to new stories and characters in the future.
