The long-awaited debut of the anime adaptation of the manga written and illustrated by Tatsuki Fujimoto , Chainsaw Man , is not only making waves on social media, but also on streaming platforms. The common sin that Crunchyroll commits with every major release is that it doesn't prepare its servers for the expected influx of people logging onto the service at the same time to enjoy the episode.
And it happened again today when the first episode of the Chainsaw Man was released.

Synopsis:
The story takes place in a world where demons are born from human fears. Although they are generally dangerous and malevolent, humans can form contracts with demons to use a portion of their power. Denji is a depressed young man who is trying to pay off his late father's debt to the yakuza by selling several of his organs and working as a demon hunter. Denji also possesses a dog-like demon named Pochita, who resembles a chainsaw and assists Denji in his work.
Fujimoto launched the manga Weekly Shonen Jump magazine in December 2018, ending the first arc in December 2020 with 11 volumes.
