Rather than releasing a second season, popular anime series Chainsaw Man is opting to continue the story on the big screen in upcoming movie Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc, which, according to the studio, is so the show can grow its audience.
"From a business standpoint, we want to have as many people as possible enjoy The Reze Arc. When we did that, we aimed to maximize our business. It should go theatrical," said MAPPA President Manabu Ohtsuka in an interview with Anime News Network. "We want to reach a different, broader audience. We're able to team up with Sony Pictures, which would be reaching such people."
