The MAPPA adaptation of Tatsuki Fujimoto's Chainsaw Man manga is causing a huge stir in the anime community. Following the premiere episode, both manga readers and anime viewers are curious about Chainsaw Man's anime release schedule for new episodes.
After all, it's Chainsaw Man, and showing one episode a day to fans is a form of torture.
Chainsaw Man centers on an orphaned teenager named Denji, who one day enters into a contract with Pochita, the Chainsaw Devil.
One thing led to another, and Pochita morphed his body to become Denji’s heart.
Since then, Denji is able to transform into the vicious and bloodthirsty Chainsaw Man.
Now, Denji sets out to live his life anew and comfortably after being recruited into Makima's special division of devil hunters.
Chainsaw Man Anime Release Schedule
Chainsaw Man's new episodes are released every week, just like any other anime show during the season.
Given that there will be no delay in broadcast, it is scheduled to be released every Tuesday of the week for regions such as the United States, the United Kingdom, and Europe.
Due to time zone differences, Chainsaw Man's new episodes are released every Wednesday in Japan.
Chainsaw Man airs every Wednesday in Japan, alongside other fall shows such as Yama No Susume: The Next Summit, Motto Majime ni Fumajime Kaiketsu Zorori 3rd Season, Futoku no Guild, The Eminence in Shadow, and Reincarnated as a Sword.
Depending on their location, anime fans can watch new episodes of Chainsaw Man on streaming platforms such as Crunchyroll, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, and Bilibili.

Chainsaw Man English Dub Release Schedule
Chainsaw Man's English dubbed episodes are also released weekly on Tuesdays. However, the dubbed version is currently two episodes behind the new subbed episodes on Crunchyroll.
The reason for this is that Chainsaw Man's first English dubbed episode was released on October 25, 2022, while the pilot English subtitled episode was released on October 12, 2022.
Chainsaw Man’s primary English dub cast is composed of Ryan Colt Levy as Denji, Suzie Yeung as Makima, Sarah Wiedenheft as Power, Reagan Murdock as Aki Hayakawa, and Lindsay Seidel as Pochita.

How Many Episodes Will Chainsaw Man Have?
Chainsaw Man will have a total of 12 episodes this season. The episode count is also listed on the anime’s official website, as revealed by its Blu-ray and DVD release information.
Chainsaw Man's 12 episodes will be released in four separate Blu-ray and DVD volumes, with the first volume arriving on January 27, 2023. The first three episodes of the anime will be included.
Each volume will contain three episodes packaged in a special case illustrated by MAPPA.
The episode count is quite surprising given that fans expected it to run for a double cour, with over 20 episodes for the first season.
In light of this, Chainsaw Man is rumored to be a split-cour anime show, with a break in between two anime seasons before resuming for Part 2.
