Chainsaw Man Reze movie is officially coming to digital stores on the 9th of December 2025. Now, fans will not have to wait long to watch the romantic chaos of Denji from their couch.

The movie came to North American screens on October 24, 2025, and it’s been smashing ever since. The movie has proven itself one of the year’s biggest anime hits with over $174 million at the global box office and an outstanding 97% on Rotten Tomatoes. And with the film now available for streaming just six weeks after it opened in theaters, more fans can get on it, too.

The announcement confirms that the Chainsaw Man Reze movie will be available on multiple digital platforms starting December 9. This includes Apple TV, Prime Video, YouTube, and Fandango at Home. You will have two options: purchase the film outright or rent it for a 48-hour viewing window.

They are generally available to buy in the $19.99-$29.99 range or rent for $14.99-$24.99 pricing levels. For premium video-on-demand releases, where the film is still doing decent business in theaters, that’s typical. Chainsaw Man Reze movie is getting a quicker digital release than most anime movies, which usually hit the streaming services about four to five months after first screenings.

And the date has officially been set for when it will drop: December 9. This is a huge shift from Sony’s approach to its other anime releases. Usually, their films debut on Crunchyroll months after they play in theaters.


When will the Chainsaw Man Reze movie hit Crunchyroll?

Here's where things get interesting. Sony and Crunchyroll typically skip the PVOD (Premium Video On Demand) route entirely with their anime films. Instead, they go straight to Crunchyroll's streaming service about four and a half to five months after the theatrical release.

Films such as Spy x Family Code: White and Haikyu!! The Movie followed the same line. The Chainsaw Man Reze movie will stream on Crunchyroll between March 10 and March 24, 2026. That is when subscribers can see it without paying anything extra. They would just be paying their regular subscription for the streaming service.

The December digital release is likely a test run. With both Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle and the Chainsaw Man Reze movie performing so well theatrically, Sony might be experimenting with getting films to home viewers faster. More money, more options, more flexibility.


Is it worth the early digital price?

The Chainsaw Man Reze movie continues from season one of the anime series. Denji meets a girl who seems to be genuinely interested in him, Reze, a mysterious young woman. But this is Chainsaw Man, remember? So nothing can be kept simple for long.

MAPPA's animation is spectacular throughout the film. There are intense action scenes and heavy emotional beats, and a great soundtrack that keeps everything moving. Critics and crowds agree that seeing the movie on the big screen is best, but not everyone has one nearby.

If you can’t wait till March, the December 9 digital release is your best bet. But if you are in no rush and have a Crunchyroll subscription already, then just give it a few more months so you can save yourself $20 to $30.


Conclusion

The movie functions as a decent entry point into anime for the uninitiated, but it is better to first watch Season 1, which provides more context on Denji’s character arc. The season is available at the moment on Crunchyroll, Hulu, and Disney+.

Either way, the Chainsaw Man Reze movie is coming home a lot sooner than we thought. If you would like early access, mark your calendars for Dec. 9; otherwise, it will be a spring arrival on Crunchyroll.
