The official website of the Chainsaw Man television anime unveils the cast, additional staff, and the third promotional video on Friday. The anime series adapting Tatsuki Fujimoto's action adventure manga manga will premiere in October 2022.

Cast
Denji: Toya Kikunosuke
Power: Ai Fairouz (JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken Part 6: Stone Ocean)
Makima: Tomori Kusunoki (Wonder Egg Priority)
Aki Hakayama: Shougo Sakata (Fairy Ranmaru: Anata no Kokoro Otasuke Shimasu)

Staff
Costume Design: Aya Yamamoto (Fullmetal Panic! Invisible Victory sub-character design)
CG Director: Kazumasa Yokokawa (Hello World)
Director of Photography: Teppei Itou (Jujutsu Kaisen (TV))
Editing: Masato Yoshitake (Shingeki no Kyojin: The Final Season)
Sound Director: Kisuke Koizumi (Sabikui Bisco)

Ryuu Nakayama (Jujutsu Kaisen episode director) is helming the series at animation studio MAPPA, with Hiroshi Seko (Dorohedoro) handling the script. Kazutaka Sugiyama (Mushoku Tensei: Isekai Ittara Honki Dasu) is designing the characters and Kensuke Ushio (Devilman: Crybaby) is composing the music.

Fujimoto launched the horror action manga in Weekly Shounen Jump in December 2018, after ending Fire Punch in Shounen Jump+ in January that year. The manga concluded its first part in December 2020 and began part 2 with chapter 98 on July 12. Shueisha published the 11th on March 4 last year. Chainsaw Man has a cumulative 13 million copies of its volumes in circulation.

VIZ Media released the first three chapters in English simultaneously with the Japanese release as a part of its Jump Start initiative and subsequently serialized it in their digital Weekly Shonen Jump magazine. The company now simulpublishes the manga on its Shounen Jump platform and shipped the 11th volume on March 4. Shueisha's Manga Plus service also began simulpublishing the manga in English last January.

I don't think this second trailer is pre-animated when I compare Power with her hammer in the first trailer and the second trailer but among the cast, she has a very fitting voice actor, alongside Makima, good god I knew the VA voiced Neiru from Wonder Egg Priority so makes sense with this voice range of hers

How many episodes do you think it will take before the elites start complaining about this show as overrated and supposedly popular just because of the animation/characters/shonen fans?

This tactic has been working since ReZero. Promising rookies for main, veterans for bright side characters.

idk what they were thinking when they chose Makima’s va. It doesn’t sound like her at all. It’s frustrating considering she was the character I was most excited about. Doesn’t make me want to be her dog in any way.

Makima's voice doesn't suit her AT ALL wow.
She sounds too high pitched and soft-spoken, no commanding, dominating, femme fatale vibe at all.
Makima is an adult woman not a high school teenager
What a huge miscast.

Oh wow, so I'm not the only one who was expecting a different voice for Makima. I imagined her to sound a little colder and more intimidating.

I read a few of Fujimoto's stuff before CSM, hyped it up for myself and then ended up disappointed, so yeah. I'll still check out the anime though cuz that's the new shonen anime everyone will be talking about. Looking forward to seeing what Kensuke Ushio has cooked up, I enjoy his work a lot.

I didn't know that we could hear voices from manga panels

But the fact that they decided to have her voice be like this only adds to how menacing she actually is....If someone with that kind of voice came up to me, the last thing I'll think is that this is a murderous, villainous bitch lol

The animation and sound are promising. I really liked Denji's voice. I imagined Makima to sound older and Aki to sound younger. Still looking forward to enjoy this work, congratulations to the team.

you can imagine a character’s voice by their personality and how she talks like most of the time. Makima’s distinct personality allows you to do so even more.

The VAs are pretty much all newbies, interesting choice tbh

Makima's VA is the same that does that senpai loli, now that's funny.

I can already see this getting top 1 on MAL just after episode 1 comes out, because you know, it's MAL.

So you’re telling me that your imagination is the only real voice that Makima can have?

Mm, I mean, it looks cool but the trailer kinda gives it the vibe of a series just relying on the visuals. I hope the writing is good too, I don't know anything about it. The synposis seems kinda like just cool stuff, I'm sure it'll be fun to watch at least so I guess I'm looking forward to it
No watch list sig cuz "You watch anime in 3 days or 3 months! Such is the proper way!"

No. Me and many other people wanted a deeper, more dominant voice for Makima. You can’t/shouldn’t just give a character like her a cutesy voice

Do you think it's unusual that an adaptation of a highly hyped manga would take the top spot for at least the first time?

yes, my opinion is supreme.

Dominant woman sound much better with a deep, low-pitched voice. It adds to their looks. Hence why they’re mostly voiced by such VAs in anime.

In my opinion Makima voice choice is so bad. Please held up a petition and exclude her from the list if possible. They should have selected Shinobu VA for Makima for a deep tone and fresh voice. Here she sounds like she is stopping her sneeze.

Sons of bitches gonna use superlatives to a degree oxford gonna have a stroke. But well, when did I ever have control over how other humans act.
The Show is gonna bang tho, hard as well. I read some of the manga before and it was decent but i can see it getting much more fire. Probably gonna read it all soon.

you did want a deeper voice, and maybe a small amount of other people wanted it as well.
but a vast majority wanted her to have a voice like this, specifically like Saori Hayami cause literally everyone brought her up while talking about potential VAs.

I didn't give a single shit about their voices, all I care about is how the series looks visually, that's the only thing I was worried about and now I know that it looks great

But what I will say about the VA's is that I love that they're giving newcomers a shot a big series like this, and I think that everyone sounds fine (Especially Power)

I also don’t like the casting choice for Makima but y’all don’t have to make a big deal out of it. Her voice might not be what many of us envisioned for her, but I bet that she and the rest of the cast will sound fantastic regardless.

With this trailer I’m more hyped than ever. I was worrying over how the art would translate from manga to anime, but holy shit they were able to maintain that signature surreal, raw, and gritty tone of the manga despite changing the storytelling method. It’s going to be a wild ride!
