Chainsaw Man Studio Reveals the Real Reason Fans Will Have to Wait for Season 2

Description

The source explains why Studio MAPPA decided to adapt the popular "Reze Arc" of the manga Chainsaw Man into a theatrical movie rather than continuing the anime with a traditional Season 2. According to MAPPA CEO Manabu Otsuka, the decision stems from the arc's inherently cinematic nature, featuring massive explosions and dynamic action that demands a big-screen format to properly honor the original manga creator's vision. This move, while frustrating some fans who eagerly await a TV continuation, is also a calculated response to the logistical pressures of the studio's heavy workload and the lukewarm commercial reception of Season 1's physical media sales in Japan. Ultimately, the movie is presented as an artistic and commercial necessity intended to elevate the franchise and ensure a higher-quality return for the eventual Season 2.
