It has already been confirmed that the Chainsaw Man anime will initially have 12 episodes.
However, it hasn’t been confirmed if this is for the entirety of the first season or just for a first cour.
MAPPA – the studio behind Chainsaw Man – are known for doing split cours, with Jujutsu Kaisen season 2 set to be in two parts and the Attack on Titan final season being split into multiple parts.
So it wouldn’t be a surprise to see the Chainsaw Man anime adopt a cour format as well.
The Chainsaw Man anime has already becoming a viral hit, thanks to its super-stylish opening that is packed full of pop culture references.
The official MAPPA video of the Chainsaw Man opening has been one of the trending videos on YouTube racking up millions of views in a short space of time.
The opening song for the Chainsaw Man anime is performed by Kenshi Yonezu and is called KICK BACK but for the ending it’s different.
Unlike other shows, every episode of the Chainsaw Man anime will have a different ending song.

Previously, Crunchyroll let anyone watch new episodes of simulcast shows via its ad-supported plan.
However, this year the anime streaming service stopped “the automatic free availability of all simulcast content”.
So, if you want to watch simulcast content you’ll need to join as a paid-for member.
If you’re not sure whether you will like the Chainsaw Man anime you can simply sign-up to a free trial.
Crunchyroll offers 14 day free trials for all of its paid-for plans.
So you can do this and then watch the first episode of the Chainsaw Man anime to see if you’d be happy paying to watch it.
Crunchyroll paid-for plans begin from £4.99 a month.
