Chainsaw Man (Season 1)

Chainsaw Man (チェンソーマン, 2022) is a Japanese anime series by studio MAPPA — watch every episode online on iFILM. The show adapts Tatsuki Fujimoto's manga, blending dark fantasy, hard action, and deadpan black comedy into something that doesn't play by genre rules.

Denji is a broke young devil hunter saddled with debt he didn't ask for, dragging around Pochita — a small devil he raised by hand and uses as a weapon. When the yakuza kills him, Pochita merges with his body to bring him back. Now his arms turn into spinning chainsaws on command. The Public Safety Division recruits him on the spot. His new handler, Makima, is perfectly composed and absolutely unreadable — which is either reassuring or deeply worrying. Kikunosuke Toya voices Denji; Tomori Kusunoki voices Makima.

The 2022 season ran twelve episodes and became one of the most-discussed anime releases of that year, praised for its direction and unconventional pacing. Stream Chainsaw Man online on iFILM.
