As one of the most anticipated premieres for the season of Autumn-2022 (October-December)the platform crispy roll has announced the exact date and time of the premiere for the anime adaptation of the manga, which was written and illustrated by Tatsuki Fujimoto, chainsaw man. According to the platform, the premiere is scheduled for October 11 at 09:00 (Pacific Time or UTC-7).
This corresponds to 11:00 am (Mexican Central Time)although this will change when Daylight Saving Time ends on October 30 in several countries. Will the Crunchyroll servers support the expected large number of people trying to watch the episode at the same time as the Shingeki no Kyojin premieres? It is very likely that it will happen again as the platform doesn’t care much about fixing this issue.
On the other hand, Fujimoto started publishing the manga chainsaw man in the publisher’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine shueisha in December 2018 and ended the first part in December 2020. The second part of the work was moved to the digital service Shōnen Jump Pluswhere it has been appearing since July 2022.
Synopsis for Chainsaw Man
The story takes place in a world where demons threaten the peace of the people, making them targets to be eliminated. Denji is a depressed young man who has sold several of his organs and works as a lumberjack and demon hunter to pay off his late father’s debts. Denji owns a dog (who is also a demon) named Pochita who has chainsaws and uses them for his work.
This is explained because humans can make contracts with demons. After returning home from a job, Denji is summoned by a yakuza to infiltrate a building and assassinate another demon. However, the plan was a trap to kill him as part of a yakuza contract with the demon and give them more power. But Pochita comes to Denji’s aid and bonds with him, becoming half human half demon and acquiring Pochita’s chainsaws.
