Attendees of New York Comic Con will be able to get an early look at Chainsaw Man.
Announced today, the world premiere of the English dub of Chainsaw Man will go down on Friday, October 7 at the Empire Stage inside the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center from 12:45 p.m. - 1:45 p.m. EST. Aside from the screening, fans will be greeted with the English voice cast for the characters Denji, Makima, Aki, and Power. There’s still a handful of tickets available for New York Comic Con on Friday here.
The Chainsaw Man anime is slated to premiere on October 12. Crunchyroll will be streaming it outside of Asia.
A synopsis for the anime reads:
Denji is a teenage boy living with a Chainsaw Devil named Pochita. Due to the debt his father left behind, he has been living a rock-bottom life while repaying his debt by harvesting devil corpses with Pochita.
One day, Denji is betrayed and killed. As his consciousness fades, he makes a contract with Pochita and gets revived as "Chainsaw Man" — a man with a devil's heart.
