Chainsaw Man is one of the biggest anime and manga franchises in the world right now. After Season 1 took the world by storm in 2022 with an excellent adaptation of the manga's first 38 chapters, the release of Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc last year skyrocketed the series' popularity, quickly becoming one of the highest-grossing Japanese films of all time and garnering massive critical acclaim from anime fans and critics alike. After months of waiting, Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc finally gets a streaming date on Crunchyroll.

The Chainsaw Man manga may have ended last month, but the series still has a bright future ahead of it and plenty of material for the anime to adapt & expand upon. Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc is a major turning point for Denji as a character. The anime's story will only get darker and more emotional from here on out. Chainsaw Man Season 2 is set to adapt the International Assassins arc (a fan-favorite storyline in the manga), but will presumably cover the rest of Part 1 assuming the season runs for 12 episodes just like Season 1. With the movie about to stream on Crunchyroll and Season 2 ready to cover some of the manga's absolute best chapters, there's never been a better time to be a Chainsaw Man fan.

Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc is Finally Coming to Crunchyroll This Month
Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc will be available for streaming on Crunchyroll on April 30, 2026.

Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc features outstanding animation, beautiful art direction, a killer soundtrack, and some of the best character development in the medium.
