For this edition of Saturday Anime Night, first up is Chainsaw Man (2022), the 12-episode anime adaptation of Tatsuki Fujimoto’s 2018 manga of the same name. It follows a young man who fuses with his pet devil to fight other demons so that he can pay his debts to the yakuza. Lucky for him, he can turn his body parts into chainsaws to unleash some gory vengeance upon the villains of the world. Yes, they pretty much remade Devilman, but with chainsaws. Expect a whole lot of over-the-top bloodshed. The showrunners include people who worked on Jujutsu Kaisen (2020), Darling in the Franxx (2018), and Little Witch Academia (2017), among other shows. Episodes 1 through 6 tonight.

After that is Time Masters (1982), a French surrealist animated space opera feature from Rene Laloux, the director better-known for Fantastic Planet (1973), which we previously watched. As with that film, it features artwork and character designs by renowned artist Jean Giraud, a.k.a. Moebius. It centers on a group of space travelers racing across the cosmos to rescue an orphan boy stranded on a hostile desert planet populated by all sorts of bizarre creatures. Their journey eventually requires them to travel through time and deal with some time paradoxes. Great reviews for this one, if not quite as great as for its predecessor.

We’ll start at 8PM EST on Blorptube, right here:
