The much-anticipated film Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc has made a major splash, opening to $17.3 million in the U.S. alone and reaching a worldwide total of $108 million so far.
Produced by studio MAPPA and directed by Tatsuya Yoshihara, the film follows the journey of Denji and his entanglement with Reze amid brutal battles and emotional conflict. Critics have praised its visual intensity and emotional stakes, though some caution that the plot may be bewildering for newcomers.
Streaming-wise, the film is scheduled for a release on Crunchyroll around April 2026 (pending official confirmation) — for now, it’s only in theaters.
Fans of One Piece have a clearer view of what’s next: Episode 1148 of its “Egghead Island” arc is due on Crunchyroll on November 2, 2025, with Netflix subscribers getting episode 1147 on November 1, 2025, maintaining the familiar one-week lag.
In broader streaming news: major platforms like Netflix are ramping up their anime slates — the latest list of new titles for 2025 and beyond reflects a strong commitment to the medium.
Looking ahead, fall 2025 is set to be a packed season with several high-profile series and films launching or continuing.
