Fans are looking forward to another edition of chainsaw man anime since its first season ended in December 2022. Although the Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Arco Reze was announced and a teaser video posted on YouTube, no official release date has been confirmed at this time. Rumors about a potential second season have been around for some time and now, one of the series’ voice actors has hinted that these comments may contain some truth.
Ryan Colt Levy, voice actor for Denji in chainsaw man, responded to a post on X by a chainsaw man news account, @ChainsawShots. The original X post stated that a second season of the acclaimed shonen anime has been “officially confirmed in accordance with new legal documents filed by Shueisha, the Animation Studio.” Levy responded by stating that he was unsure of the validity of the claims made in the post, but, “but if it’s true…everything is about to change.” This bold statement not only sparked enthusiasm but revealed that Levy himself is looking forward to another season of chainsaw man.
