Is Chainsaw Man Coming on DVD?
Yes! According to a recent announcement by studio MAPPA, Chainsaw Man is coming soon on Blu-ray and DVD. While disks of all sorts are less common than they used to be and are almost considered vintage after the rise of streaming services, there’s an unbeatable feeling to owning a physical copy of your favorite shows without relying on an internet connection all the time. Many fans will be happy with the news that the anime is coming out on DVD, all the more so because it comes in special packaging! The Blu-ray version of Chainsaw Man will come with a special storage box in which the protagonists pose to pay homage to iconic films. Denji’s image imitates an iconic snapshot from The Shining (1980), Aki gives strong Clockwork Orange (1971) vibes, Power presents as the poster from Kill Bill: Volume 1 (2003), and Pochita takes us back to Jurassic Park (1993). All the abovementioned movies were iconic in their time, and their over-the-top elements mark an affinity with Chainsaw Man, making the box set a fun treat for fans. The first volume of the Chainsaw Man Blu-ray edition will include Episodes 1-3, while we expect the rest to arrive in due course. YOU MIGHT LIKE: Who Are Chainsaw Man’s Voice Actors?
