Now more than ever, purchasing physical Blu-rays of your favorite anime is the best way to ensure you have access to them for years to come. The rise of streaming services has seen various movies and series pulled offline due to licensing issues, with some anime never returning to streaming afterward. One of 2022's most popular anime series is finally coming to Blu-ray! While the Limited Edition set is priced at $85 at Target and Amazon, you can score the Chainsaw Man Season 1 Limited Edition Steelbook for just $42.96 at Walmart.

Produced by MAPPA, Chainsaw Man stars Denji after making a deal with the Chainsaw Devil, Pochita. Together, the two work as a Devil Hunter alongside Power, Aki, and many other characters. If you're a fan of gruesome action and stylistic animation, this is a great series to jump into.
This exclusive Steelbook is only available at Walmart, featuring the Chainsaw Man artwork that was released alongside the announcement of the anime. While this Blu-ray edition does not include the 72-page art booklet packed in with the Limited Edition, you still get all 12 episodes of the Chainsaw Man anime, in addition to a slick Steelbook.
In our 9/10 review of Chainsaw Man, we wrote, "Chainsaw Man Season 1 brings one of the most popular manga of the past few years to the screen with a fantastic adaptation that not only does justice to the source material, but actively adds to it with cinema-inspired visuals that make this absurd, gory, dumb, and hilarious world feel incredibly real and relatable. Well, as real and relatable as the story of a man with chainsaws for hands can be."
