Let’s say you’ve got a super successful anime. Like, the biggest of the season. What do you do now? Why, collaborations, of course! At least, that’s the case with Chainsaw Man, MAPPA’s big hitter based on Tatsuki Fujimoto’s devilish manga series.
There have been lots of collabs already… more than we can fit in one article. But these are the ones that jumped out at us. Sometimes it’s the art, other times it’s the concept. And then sometimes it’s just the presence of Pochita. Either way, here’s what we’ve spotted so far.
Big Echo Karaoke
One thing we definitely love about Chainsaw Man is the music—its awesome opening and its many unique ending themes. If you want to get down to these tunes with your friends, you can, thanks to karaoke house Big Echo! The venue teamed up with the anime starting in October to bring amateur singers three whole months of karaoke goodness.
You can rent a themed room, sing 13 tracks from the show, and enjoy drinks and ice cream desserts based on the characters. We’re definitely jealous of anyone who can get over there in time to take advantage of this collaboration!
Lawson Milk
Lawson is bound to tie-up with every big title out there, so a Chainsaw Man collab was only a matter of time. We have to admit, we didn’t see a milk collab coming. But the art for this one won us over immediately. There’s something surprisingly sweet and nostalgic about it. It almost makes us forget how gruesome the source material is!
As part of the collaboration, the convenience store is offering fresh milk in old-fashioned dairy bottles. And, of course, you can pick up collab goods featuring art for the promotion. We personally love the adorable Pochita merch the most, but that’s probably a given. And speaking of Pochita…
Namjatown
Bandai Namco’s Namjatown is known for a few things. Delicious dumplings, for one. Anime crossovers, for another. And here’s Chainsaw Man, invading the entertainment complex with demonic delights to ring in 2023. You’ll be able to play games and win prizes while you’re there. And if you like that art of Denji and Power fighting over Namjatown’s famous dumplings, you’ll be able to buy goods with that on it, too!
Of course, there’s a collab menu at Namjatown’s food court. Our favorite thing on the list? The adorable Pochita ice cream cup. It’s almost too cute to eat. If you prefer, though, you can order up the breakfast Makima promised to get for Denji, just as described.
