The eagerly awaited Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc is set to premiere, marking a thrilling addition to 2025’s lineup of new anime releases. Scheduled to hit Japanese theaters on September 19, this movie continues the saga of Chainsaw Man with anticipation reaching new heights. AnimeJapan was the platform where this exciting news was unveiled during a recent panel discussion.
The intriguing story picks up as a direct continuation of the anime’s first season, offering fans the much-desired Reze Arc instead of a traditional second season. According to the plot summary, “Denji has become Chainsaw Man, a boy possessing a devil’s heart, and now fights with Special Division 4 as a devil hunter. After a date with Makima, Denji seeks refuge from the rain and encounters Reze, a mysterious café worker.” Adapted from the Bomb Girl arc (chapters 40-52), this part of the story promises to deliver explosive thrills halfway through the first installment of the Public Safety Saga.
Meanwhile, other exciting developments in the anime sphere include Demon Slayer Infinity Castle, which begins the final chapter of Tanjiro’s story with its cinematic debut in Japan in July, followed by releases in the US and UK in September. Read more about it here.
