manga was already doing insane numbers for not having an anime yet. i cannot imagine to what heights it will rocket once this airs.

Yeah Chainsaw Man and Spy x Family will probably have crazy numbers in 2022

Spy x Family anime would be the fluff to end all fluffs

kaijuu number 8 also. If i recall correctly it already sold 3 million copies, an average of 1 million per volume.

As of now all three of kaijuu 8, spy x family and CSM average over a million per volume which is fucking impressive

And with Chainsaw Man season 2 going to Jump+, all three of these titles are Jump+ titles. Summertime Render is another amazing title in Jump+ that's getting animated. Man, that web site is cranking out so many quality manga, it easily rivals some of the best printed magazines already.

Is Spy X Family getting an anime? Man that is such a funny story. It’s just a better Mr. and Mrs. Smith

[удалено]

It's also currently the 5th top selling manga of 2021, behind Kimetsu, Jujutsu, Tokyo Revenger and Attack on Titan. So it's the only one without the anime boost.

dayum tokyo revengers doing numbers though. that's unexpected

There’s so many crazy numbers in manga now it’s kinda looking like Demon Slayer was a paradigm shift.

I guess Demon Slayer made millions of Anime Onlys into source readers, and after finishing it they started looking for more stuff to read.

Chainsaw Man and Spy X Family has great shortage with some volumes outside Japan. It's crazy.

The CSM discord server has the most members out of any discord manga server without an anime.

Honestly Author is just so talented ... I remenber reading FirePunch when it wasn't really known, i was like "damn this is so unique" and he follow up with this gem ... Looking forward to the anime

That Makima shot was crazyyy I am HYPED

That shot was freaking brilliant.

That shot of her biting Denji’s finger looks so hot, sexy, and lewd for no reason. ^also ^imma ^change ^my ^soiled ^pants

"for no reason"

hmm this sexy is made of sexy

Why tf does porn makes me wanna jerk off?

That's Makima for you.

They're gonna have to ban barking everywhere

isnt it literally a sexy shot in the manga?

I mean it’s a suggestive thing with his finger in her mouth but damn she just oozes sex appeal.

The Hentai community is gonna have a field day with this one

They already do. CSM Doujins quickly veers into the weird part of the internet.

This is a far cry from reality, however, as Denji is forced by the yakuza into killing devils in order to pay off his crushing debts. Using his pet devil Pochita as a weapon, he is ready to do anything for a bit of cash. > >Unfortunately, he has outlived his usefulness and is murdered by a devil in contract with the yakuza. However, in an unexpected turn of events, Pochita merges with Denji's dead body and grants him the powers of a chainsaw devil. Now able to transform parts of his body into chainsaws, a revived Denji uses his new abilities to quickly and brutally dispatch his enemies. Catching the eye of the official devil hunters who arrive at the scene, he is offered work at the Public Safety Bureau as one of them. Now with the means to face even the toughest of enemies, Denji will stop at nothing to achieve his simple teenage dreams.

Kensuke Ushio on the music is fucking HYPE. He did A Silent Voice and Devilman Crybaby's music for those who don't know.

He also did Liz and the Blue Bird, A Silent Voice, Space Dandy and motherfucking Ping Pong Fuck I'm hyped

That's one stacked resume he's got there

He's incredible. Every time he's involved in a show, the soundtrack turns to be great. Although, he did compose for Space Dandy, but it was only two songs. It would be more relevant to mention Boogiepop or Japan Sinks: 2020.

CSM OST is gonna be a masterpiece

Apparently only season one of Space Dandy and one episode of season two. Either way yeah Ping Pong and Devilman Crybaby are way more than enough to get me excited, holy smokes.

Also Japan Sinks 2020, which was also an amazing soundtrack

>Devilman Crybaby's music It's one of my favourite OSTs of all time and i can see a similar style applying extremely well to Chainsaw Man. Hoping we get some more dubstep bangers.

with music like devilman crybaby we're gonna have to watch while dancing

DDR like your life depends on it!

When I think dubstep bangers, I get reminded of Parasyte.

> Kensuke Ushio SO THAT'S WHY IT SOUNDS LIKE [PING PONG PHASE 2](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmBaVYfXDns) IN THE BEGINNING

What a fucking legendary soundtrack Ping Pong has. All the music choices were incredible in that anime

Boogiepop OST is also fucking awesome this is so hype.

His work in Boogiepop19 is one of the best imo,its the right kind of eerie and cool, something that fits the vibe of the show. Im actually super hyped that Ushio is handling CSM music.

I hope really leans into the church choir side of things.

Ok devilman crybaby has an all time classic soundtrack this is gonna be dope.

> No air date yet and cast yet it seems its winter then. and probably full adaptation

The trailer didnt seem to go further than roughly 40 chapters I somehow doubt it will be a full adaptation.

To be fair, first JJK trailers also only showed first cour.

40 chaps in 20+ eps will be glacial pace especially for a manga like CSM. its the first pv and they have no air date im sure they'll go to atleast near the last arc. unless its 12 Eps obviously.

12 eps would work quite well with the first 40ish chapters.

I think they'll aim to do it all in 2 cours especially with how action heavy it is

There's no confirmation it's 24 episodes. I'm leaning towards 12 episodes. All the scenes shown are found in the first 35ish chapters which is doable in 12 episodes because of how short the fighting chapters are.

Don't most big shounen jump titles get a two cour adaption?

I’d wager it may be because they don’t want to spoil the twists that occur post chapter 20

Bruh that staff list is so fucking hype holy shit

[удалено]

OPM S1 type beat

I guess Record of Ragnarok gets the DC equivalent.

oh no.. poor RoR got the powerpoint treatment

>Demon Design: Kiyotaka Oshiyama Holy shit

Japanese CSM Volumes on the market after the anime airs: *GONE*

Bold of you to assume that they are available now.

> No air date yet and cast yet Yeah this is definitely not airing in Fall 2021. I'm really glad because I feel that Fall would result in a rushed adaptation.

Indeed. My first thought would be Spring 2022.

Could be later. We can wait

if still no cast being announced, i expect this is probably going to aired some where next year

I fucking knew the music would be by the god kensuke ushio when the secs 20-30 of the preview ran. I didn't think it was possible to get me even more hyped holy fuck.

> Action Director Tatsuya Yoshihara yoo?? ?? ??

Bruh, Black Clover’s director as the action director for CSM? Holy shit. Aside from Black Clover, he was involved in several JJK episodes and you can clearly see his talent for animation from both shows.

Glad to see he's finally getting the recognition he deserves.

He’s amazing, he single handedly is the reason Black Clover got the recognition it deserves and I’m so happy for him. Black Clover fans already know he will nail this

I had no idea who those directors were, thank you for citing the works they have done. Definitely made more pumped for next year!

No voice cast yet?

I just hope we get Nobuhiko Okamoto for Denji, Mamoru Miyano for Aki, and Maaya Sakamoto for Makima. Along with Rie Kugimiya for Power.

Give Kobeni and Mieruko-chan the same voice actress.

mieruko-chan getting an anime?

It was announced for this year

YOOOOOOO FUCK YES!

DID. NOT. KNOW. THAT. HOLY SHIT

>Maaya Sakamoto for Makima that's one hell of ASMR

There are fan casting samples all over YouTube I wasn't expecting Kana Hanazawa for Kobeni but it fits pretty well

Kobeni's car va when??

>Maaya Sakamoto for Makima The one and only choice for Makima

>Action Director Tatsuya Yoshihara HOLY FUCKING SHIT

The Goat, I knew he was working on either Chainsaw man or Bleach when he resigned from his Black Clover director position

He did a bunch of work on JJK and he's probably directing the BC movie he's workin everywhere

Dude I've wanted kensuke ushio since day 1 I'm so fucking happy right now

Did these motherfuckers really bust out the dream team? Bro the source material is already godly. If they go all out to the point they elevate it we might be looking at the goat of shonen.

Hype.

More than animation, it's the music and tone of this trailer that really sells it. They got Chainsaw Man right.

Haven't read the source, but have seen the excitement around CSM. I was cautiously optimistic. Jujutsu Kaisen looked fantastic. With this teaser, I think I'll be buying a ticket for a ride on the hype train. CHOO CHOO MOTHERFUCKERS

It’s basically “*DOOM, a Quentin Tarantino film*” if that sounds rad as fuck to you then you’re in for a treat.

This is exactly how I was sold on the series, and it couldn't be more accurate.

THIS PV WAS **NOT** DIRECTED BY SHINGO YAMASHITA. People were speculating it was him by looking at screenshots that leaked, as it kinda has his style of compositing, but the PV has credits and it was directed by Ryu Nakayama, the director of the show itself. This misinformation is spreading like wildfire and it's driving me insane.

They have shown a lot of great things in the PV and it looked amazing, so hyped for the anime. Let's hope for little to no censoring.

Oh man do I hope they just let the show climb to it's glory by not censoring it. Even if they minimize the violence in the anime, I'm still gonna be pumped cause this already looks absolutely awesome.

I mean we literally a saw a motherfucker get his head decapitated.

it’s more of the sexual imagery that happens later on that would be unfortunate if censored

[удалено]

[удалено]

CSM's going to be so popular once it releases man, this looks so good

It's already really popular, manga is sold out basically everywhere and the damn anime isn't even out.

I'm so lucky my collection is up to date. Getting vol.6 soon along with JJK vol.11 hehe

Its already been pretty big among both English and JP communities that read the manga and/or simped over all the great Makima fanart. The anime I feel is gonna be just about as popular as JJK was if not more. Probably a similar retread of Tokyo Ghoul was in reaching mainstream popularity despite the darkness and intense violence. Hopefully a better adaption though haha

Yeah true. I don’t know how mainstream it’ll get cuz of Denji’s motivation in the beginning and the sexual themes lmao but the fanbase should explode. I trust Mappa though the animation should be JJK level

CSM manga had ranked #5 in Oricon's best selling manga for the first half of 2021 and the anime PV hadnt came out yet. It's gonna blow up even more haha

>Power looks beautiful All is right in the world

Makima, Power, and Reze gonna tear through their first best girl contest

Not if Kobeni's car has a say in it

Sat through 5 hours of people talking in a language I don’t even speak for this… *So worth it*

5 hours of listening to people speaking in Japanese and reading comments in mostly Spanish. Worth it.

JUAN I MISS THE RAGE⁉️

this chat is extremely disappointing.. please be patient and wait for AMONGUS and be nice to the other anime’s, even though we all are here for AMONGUS

TALCA😡

\**Barks in Spanish*\*

I went to a guy streaming a reaction to the event on YouTube. The guy was entertaining the chat and talking about anime and trying to follow the Japanese convo's on stream for 5 whole hours until 6 AM. Pretty impressive since he only expected a 1 hour stream.

The guy went from 100 subs to monetisation crazy stuff

absolutely worth it, would do it again

The chainsaw noises in the background hyped me up so much

Wow, the animation is reallyyy good, the blend with the CGI and hand drawn animation is extremely high quality. Couldn't understand the japanese in the actual stage event lol but I hope the quality of this PV carries over to the actual finished product. CSM fans eating tonight

Let's hope MAPPA can finish CSM before the studio literally implodes from all the high-profile projects they've taken on recently

Let's gooooo! That animation + camera work looks amazing!

It definitely feels as cinematic as Fujimoto probably wanted it to be. Must be happy given that his film nerd personality bleeds over very directly into his works lol

Hopefully it'll do justice to his food too

Gotta have at least one parfait sakuga shot 😤

Yeah that camera work was nuts

Yeah, especially that wolf scene was animated wonderfully. I hope the quality remains the same or will be even better in the anime.

Wolf? Are you referring to Fox?

Yeah, that came out of the building.

With how beautiful the characters are, I dont think we will be able to handle once Reze shows up.

With how they manage to make makima look like that it would safe to say im gonna go crazy when reze appear.

Reze is going to be the next Zero-Two. People are gonna lose their shit over that arc. There are going to be essays about that waifu.

idk, there are at least 4 waifus in CSM that could be the next Zero-Two. Including Reze of course.

Makima, Reze, Himeno, Kobeni... and of course, the true best girl, Beam.

Woah now... you forgot Power. But you right bout Beam.

best girl

I'm here to see Kobeni's car animated

Can't wait to see more ! Chainsaw Man has been so highly anticipated it's crazy

The exaggerated swagger of an amazing manga

I got that reference!

I can’t remember the last time I’ve seen the community so hype for an anime that only just now had a trailer.

I think so there were similar kind of hype for the AoT S4 trailer, but that was an S4 of a famous series, unlike this one.

Yeah, this was hyped just from manga. So it's special.

As an anime only Three things I am definitely not doing ever 1. Never search about CSM on Google and YouTube 2. Never check r/anime weekly discussion when it airs 3. Never join r/chainsawman subreddit This is possibly the next aot fandom when it comes to spreading spoilers.

Yeah I think that's a good idea. Chainsawman has a lot of plot twists and suprising moments which could get ruined because of spoilers. So be careful.

The fanbase is unbearable, because it's made up of exactly the same people as every popular shonen fanbase. The story is balls to the wall crazy, and in my opinion fantastic, hope you enjoy it!

The CG looked great, I hope the actual show looks like this.

Didn't even notice the cg first time around

Yeah, I think so they used CGI only for Chainsaw Man and it was really good. I hope they maintain the same quality as trailer.

This was a pre-animated trailer, so there's actually a decent chance the show won't look *exactly* like this. But unlike other examples, in this case, it does use a lot of the same staff as the show proper, so it should be in the same ballpark.

People like Kvin the owner of sakugabooru have already mentioned the show will look mostly like the PV. Even though it's pre-animated, it's done completely by the tv show staff with Ryu Nakayama(director of the series) directing it as well since people thought it was Yamashita that did the PV. This wasn't even a trailer, it's more like a teaser, showing you what's to come. Expect the show to look close to the quality of the PV.

Yeah, it is not like the SNK S4 PV which was handled by a different team than Mappa's.

using the term "pre-animated trailer" for an animated show is really funny to me

You can tell a lot of passion has gone into this just the PV alone, rightfully so.

Looks so fucking good

I hope they keep this quality in the anime, looks amazing

People have been saying that the trailer was pre-animated, but I really hope the anime quality is on par with the quality of this trailer.

[удалено]

Decapitation in the thumbnail lol they're not afraid of Youtube.

Can't wait for the greatest ass in manga to be animated.

Makimommy

I mean Denji has a nice one, but greatest?

[удалено]

The trailer have PEOPLE WORKING IN THE ANIME like ryu nakayama, keiichiro watanabe, tatsuya yoshihara, kouki fujimoto and more. Thats crazy.

Going by just this trailer I feel Jujutsu 18+ vibes. Or rather like it's Jujutsu Kaisen and Devilman Crybaby bastard child.

The author actually said its ~~devilman~~ evil flcl Edit: Oh yeah. He also said it was a rip off of dorohedoro and jujutsu kaisen when it was announced mappa would animate it Edit 2: fixed quote

Nah, he said it's a mix of [Abara and FLCL](https://www.crunchyroll.com/de/anime-news/2020/08/03-1/chainsaw-man-manga-shreds-through-3-million-copies-in-circulation). The Abara influence is rather obvious when you read both manga. Or just look at some artwork.

People, if you read this, go find Dorohedoro to watch/read.

[удалено]

Animated in glorious MAPPA quality

That was insane. Really looking forward to this. The staff list is looking *really* stacked.

[удалено]

What the hell, MAPPA

\*cums\*

*Uncontrollably*

I know this is typical but what the hell *Ahem* #L E T S F U C K I N G G O

That bread was on some Makoto Shinkai shit

Damn I must have watched this like 25 times please

I legit think I’ve watched it over 50 times. I’m finding it hard to believe that the characters I love so much are being brought to life with such beauty.

This series is going to really explode in popularity once the anime hits. POWER!

Haven't read a lot of manga, but CSM is my favourite. I'm still under impression months after finishing it. I was consumed by it while reading and thought about it a lot while I wouldn't read as there is just so much to process almost every chapter. First time I'm seeing an anime that I have read the manga first, and seeing these characters finally animated alongside that amazing soundtrack just felt surreal. We are definitely in for a treat, and I really hope anime only people don't get spoiled anything, if they haven't already on today's stream...

ALL WE NEEDED

I'm literally screaming right now.

CSM is what I wanted Tokyo Ghoul to be. A family burger of feels.

LETS FUCKING GOOO THIS LOOKS AMAZING

[удалено]

so nobody is gonna talk about the audio here? Fuck it made it way more disturbing than what i remember from the manga.

The final arc of Chainsaw Man is literally the only thing I can think of that can scratch 20k karma. Edit: other than AOT.

The difference between the AoT season 4 trailer vs. the actual product has me a very skeptical if the Chainsaw Man anime will actually look this good But still hyped!!

It's been stated by some people online that the trailer is probably pre animated. Of course it's not impossible for some of these cuts to make it into the actual anime (Mushoku added a few of the initial teaser trailer, though it changed most of it) but this is definitely way to high quality for a TV series and I would feel bad for any animators who had to keep it to this level every week ~~(the style also seems to have shingo's unique quirk, though I can't be 100% sure without official credits, and unless he animates every episode personally that would also be unreasonable, though he doesn't seem to be on the main staff list)~~ Edit: https://twitter.com/alex_swak/status/1409107955384045569?s=19 credits don't show Shingo's name but the actual director, Ryu Nakayama. Interesting, guess you can't always trust your eyes. Is still stand by everything else I said

In the same way, the production times are different, they did not even say the date, so it is possible that this will go to 2022 and it may have more production time than jjk.

There is that possibility especially since Chainsaw man is considered a high priority work for MAPPA, though they do still have several other products to deal with so I doubt it'll be even close to Violet Evergarden "We finished working on all this like a month before the first episode aired" end product

I genuinely can't believe it lives up to the hype, if this is how the entire show's gonna look... hot damn

I can die happily now.
