Chainsaw Man Reze Arc movie is releasing in Indian theatres this week. The movie is an action packed adaptation of the popular reze arc from the manga by Tatsuki Fujimoto. As fans wait for the movie’s release this Friday (26th September), it is a good idea to pass the time by watching a few short action packed anime to keep the spirits up.
Watch These Short Anime in Lead Up To Chainsaw Man Movie
These are the short anime series to watch in lead up to the Chainsaw Man movie.
Devilman Crybaby (10 episodes) – Watch on Netflix
If you loved Chainsaw Man’s raw energy, Devilman Crybaby is the perfect warm-up for the Chainsaw Man Reze Arc movie. This Netflix series is short but very emotional. It tells the story of Akira, a kind boy who becomes a Devilman to fight demons. The anime is filled with shocking battles, heavy themes, and a tragic ending that will stay in your mind. Just like Reze’s arc, it mixes love, violence, and loss.
Paranoia Agent (13 episodes) – Watch on Crunchyroll
Directed by Satoshi Kon, Paranoia Agent is strange, thrilling, and thought-provoking. The story follows the mystery of a boy with a golden bat attacking random people. Each episode explores different characters and their personal struggles. It’s worth seeing before the Reze Arc film because of the tense psychological strain and frightening mood.

Elfen Lied (13 episodes) – Watch on Crunchyroll
Another brief anime with a reputation for violence and emotional depth is Elfen Lied. Lucy, the main protagonist, is a mutant with deadly powers and a tragic past. The show is intermixed with sickly-fought battles and love, acceptance, and pain. Chainsaw Man fans will appreciate the mixture of gore and emotion very much.
Erased (12 episodes) – Watch on Crunchyroll
If you prefer something with less gore than mystery, Erased is an excellent option. It is a story about Satoru, a character who travels back to his childhood to prevent kidnappings and killings from taking place. Although not as violent as Chainsaw Man, the emotional appeal of the story and the suspense make it unputdownable. It also has the same plot of innocence being destroyed by cruel reality.
