Chainsaw Man - The Movie: Reze Arc Streaming Soon on Crunchyroll

Crunchyroll Announces Release for Chainsaw Man - The Movie: Reze Arc

Spring is set to bring exciting news for anime lovers as Crunchyroll has confirmed that "Chainsaw Man - The Movie: Reze Arc" will be available for streaming on its platform. Although an exact release date hasn't been provided, fans can anticipate its arrival in the upcoming spring season.

What to Expect from the Release

In their announcement, Crunchyroll mentioned that the movie will be accessible with various subtitles, although specific languages have not been detailed yet. This is particularly good news for fans who missed out on the theatrical run of one of last year's biggest anime films.

Box Office Success

Released in Japan last September, the movie quickly climbed to the top of the box office, maintaining its #1 position for over a month. It later expanded to North American theaters in mid-October, garnering a global box office total exceeding $162 million. This remarkable success contributed to a record-breaking year for Japanese cinema, which saw a 32% increase in revenue according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Fast Turnaround for Streaming

The quick transition from theatrical debut to streaming is a notable trend in the anime film industry, influenced by the movie's popularity. As of now, the Chainsaw Man movie is available for digital purchase through platforms like Prime Video. However, no details about a physical release have been disclosed yet, although many anticipate it will occur under the Crunchyroll banner.

Future of the Franchise

"Chainsaw Man - The Movie: Reze Arc" serves as a direct sequel to the anime's first season, which received a strong rating of 9/10. Fans are also looking forward to Season 2, which is currently in development and will likely continue with the Assassin’s Arc from Tatsuki Fujimoto’s original manga. While no release window for Season 2 has been announced, the excitement surrounding the movie and upcoming episodes remains high.

Stay Tuned for More Updates

Crunchyroll, which has recently adjusted its pricing structure and phased out free streaming options, promises to provide additional details regarding the exact release date and language options soon.
