Chainsaw Man: Reze Arc Dominates as Letterboxd’s Top Movie
Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc has soared to the top of Letterboxd’s highest-rated films, earning a 4.4 average from 700 million votes. The anime adaptation of the Bomb Girl arc has captured widespread acclaim and a devoted following.
Anime fans got a big surprise when Letterboxd dropped its long-awaited Year in Review for 2025. Topping the list of last year’s highest-rated films is none other than Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc. With a remarkable 4.4 average from a staggering 700 million votes, this animated feature has captured the hearts of viewers everywhere. The film brings to life the Bomb Girl storyline from the manga, following Denji as he meets a mysterious new girl. But for Denji, things are never simple—his latest crush, Reze, is hiding a dangerous secret that could change everything.
Chainsaw Man’s cinematic debut didn’t just win over anime fans. It outperformed major Oscar contenders like One Battle After Another, Hamnet, Marty Supreme, and Sinners, securing its place at the very top. The English and Japanese voice actors for Denji, along with much of the English dub cast, shared their gratitude with fans. Reze’s voice actress, Alexis Tipton, called the experience a
“dream come true.”
What’s Next for Chainsaw Man
Following the overwhelming success of the Reze Arc, it’s been officially announced that a second season is on the way. The upcoming season will adapt the International Assassins arc, where Denji finds himself the target of a global lineup of hitmen. While fans may have to wait a bit for the new episodes, there’s plenty of fresh anime content to keep them entertained in the meantime.
This winter’s anime lineup is packed. Jujutsu Kaisen’s third season is already rolling out new episodes each week. Meanwhile, Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End is gearing up for its second season, and Oshi no Ko is set to return for a third season, both premiering this week.
