Two new trailers for Chainsaw Man have dropped, and they offer plenty of new elements for fans to dig into despite their short length.

Released via the MAPPA and Crunchyroll YouTube channels on Aug. 5, the trailers act as quick overviews of the anime’s story and action. MAPPA’s offers the full preview of the series, while Crunchyroll’s trailer acts more as a condensed teaser version of the trailer. Likewise, the voices of several key characters are shown for the the first time, and new bits of animation are overlaid with the voice bites for good measure.

The MAPPA trailer starts with the high ranking Public Safety Devil Hunter Makima offering input on main character Denji’s power to manifest the Chainsaw Devil. She notes how it makes him special even among the Public Safety Devil Hunters. Her subordinate Aki, meanwhile, threatens Denji with death if he doesn’t cooperate with the organization and sides with the Devils, while Power the Blood Devil simply exclaims that it’s “Fight Time.” Then there’s Denji, who threatens to kill someone if they get in his way.

All of this is overlaid over action scenes from the upcoming series. Everything flows with an exceptional amount of Sakuga, and there’s a metric boatload of blood, gore and violence that gives the whole runtime a sense of spectacle.

Both trailers can be viewed down below.

The new trailers coincide with the recent Chainsaw Man livestream event held by MAPPA. During the event, several key Japanese voice actors and staff were officially unveiled. All of the revealed staff and voice actors are listed down below, courtesy of a press release from Crunchyroll.
