Chainsaw Man (チェンソーマン, Chensō Man; Chainsaw Man) is a Japanese anime television series produced by MAPPA, based on the manga series Chainsaw Man by Tatsuki Fujimoto. The series was directed by Ryū Nakayama from scripts by Hiroshi Seko, with Makoto Nakazono as chief episode director and Tatsuya Yoshihara as action director, as well as character designs by Kazutaka Sugiyama and demon designs by Kiyotaka Oshiyama. The series' music was composed by Kensuke Ushio. Production was entirely funded by MAPPA itself as opposed to following the same production committee format as most other anime.
The series aired on TV Tokyo from October 12 to December 28, 2022. Crunchyroll licensed the series for worldwide streaming outside of East Asian countries. Medialink obtained the licensing for Southeast Asia. A sequel film, titled Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc, was released by Toho on September 19, 2025. An anime adaptation of the manga's Assassins Arc has been announced.
