A long list of artists will be singing for each of the episodes of Chainsaw Man, which is shortly to premiere. This is where they may have appeared in other anime.
Worldwide excitement for Chainsaw Man's premiere has been generated by both those who have read the manga and those who have watched MAPPA's masterfully animated advertising material. Given that Chainsaw Man is being made by the same studio that makes series like Attack on Titan and Jujutsu Kaisen, it's safe to say that it's one of the most eagerly awaited anime to debut this fall with an anticipated high level of production.
Chainsaw Man distinguishes itself from other hit television shows in a number of ways, one of which is by using a different theme tune for each episode. Some artists are more well-known than others in the anime industry, having composed themes for other anime, while for some, Chainsaw Man will be their very first venture. Here is a brief biography of each artist, along with some of their most well-known pieces.
