Despite being so highly anticipated in the months leading up to its debut,Chainsaw Man’s first season was somewhat divisiveamong members of the anime community. Many felt its art style didn’t match the tone of the manga, while others criticized its heavy use of CGI.Fortunately, the upcomingReze Arcfilm should put any complaints to rest, as Tatsuya Yoshihara has taken over as the series' director and is bringing an all-new art style toChainsaw Man.
The change is evident in the already revealed trailers, and now in the latest poster as well,with vibrant colors on display and each character more closely resembling their manga counterparts. Though she was present in the latest trailer released this past December, the illustration gives fans a clear look at the Bomb Hybrid’s design, showcasing her intricate details and just how faithful her design is to artist Tatsuki Fujimoto’s original work. Her showdown with Denji is guaranteed to be explosive, and remains one of the manga’s very best fights years after its debut.
