This season’s silent shonen hit, Chained Soldier, ended its first season on March 21, 2024, after 12 episodes. The series never became a major title, but it has a solid fanbase, and with the manga still being published, it was logical that it would get a renewal. And finally, today, we have confirmation that Chained Soldier will, indeed, return for a second season, but probably not before 2025. As of the time of writing, the manga currently has 19 volumes, having been published since 2019, so there is enough content for a second season without the series having to face significant delays.
If you’re not familiar with the title, the Chained Soldier anime series is a fantasy adventure shonen series with ecchi elements. It follows Yuuki Waruka as he tries to become the hero in a world where only women are granted superpowers to fight demonic entities. The official synopsis sums it up like this:

Welcome to a new edition of Pop Culture Imports for the month of October! Now granted, this month's column may not be quite as spooky themed as past October editions, but you could argue that it does give us a taste of different kinds of horror — from the erotic horrors of "Thirst" and "La Piscine," to the horrors of war in "All Quiet on the Western Front," to the horrors of having a chainsaw for a head. Don't say I don't give you variety.
Let's fire up those subtitles and get streaming.

"If you don't take job seriously, you'll die." Mappa & Shueisha has revealed a third official trailer for an anime series titled Chainsaw Man, premiering in October in Japan and streaming on Crunchyroll in the US sometime later in 2022. This seems like the kind of anime that would come from the mind of Sam Raimi or straight out of the Evil Dead universe, but it's far from that. Following a betrayal, a young man named Denji left for the dead is reborn as a powerful devil-human hybrid after merging with his pet devil and is soon enlisted into an organization dedicated to hunting "devils". It's adapted from the manga by Tatsuki Fujimoto. Denji eventually joins the Public Safety Devil Hunters, a government agency focused on fighting against devils whenever they become a threat to the world. Featuring the voices of Kikunosuke Toya as Denji, Tomori Kusunoki as Makima, Shogo Sakata as Aki Hayakawa,...
