From the teaser video it looks like another "Jujutsu Kaisen" with "No guns life" protagonist...

Not sure about this one

The show will more than likely not look this good, but go off I guess.

AoT fans always thinking that all tráilers are pre-animated lol, just accept that Mappa doesn't care about AoT, it's a secondary project for them.

Chainsaw Man doesn't actually have that much in common with JJK despite the bigger focus on horror elements. Specially since the writing in CSM is far from the usual Shonen type.

To those saying this is another “generic battle shonen”… you’re off the mark.

A lot of people who read this thought how on earth was this published in Shonen Jump. The fact that it’s moving to Jump+ for part 2 tells you everything. Give it a try. You can just search for some CSM panels on images and see if that’s to your liking.

Oh yes, the "it has blood and gore so its mature hence good" argument. My favorite.

Since it's studio Mappa, the best realistic options to hope for would be either Kazuhiro Furuhashi or Keiichi Satou since they both seem to work for them often.
But my guess is it will either be some newbie or the JJK guy or something.

Don't talk if you have no idea about how things work. Most trailers for animes are pre-animated. All of AOT's previous season's trailers were pre-animated, JJK trailer was pre-animated. Let me explain to you what the problem was with AOT. The trailer was pre-animated by a completely different studio and staff, that is the big difference. In this case, this PV is completely animated by the staff of the show just like the JJK trailer. The anime will mostly look exactly like the PV, the staff literally showed you what they are capable of in this teaser. Also, the fact that the staff of the tv show got the extra time to put together a nice PV tells you how good of a schedule they have otherwise this PV would have been outsourced like the AOT one.
There are no doubts this show will be one of the best productions of all time, literally. MAPPA assembled one of the best staff of all time for this, top-tier talent in all departments from the director, action director to art direction and music.
The owner of sakugabooru literally had to call out a bunch of people for spazzing out about the trailer being pre-animated and teach them how exactly it works and that there's nothing to worry about, the show will look close to the PV.

Haven't read the manga for Chainsaw Man, but I've heard a lot of good things about it, so I'm definitely looking forward to the anime adaptation for it! Also, the PV looks great and the staff for Chainsaw Man is pretty stacked ngl

Those of you who have read the manga here is it worth it to read It at this point or should I just wait for the animation? Maybe I’ll want to read the manga after the first part is animated. Also does anyone know specifically when it’s supposed to come out I’ve seen multiple sources that claim early summer and some that even say October. Most of them just say 2022 so we know it’s for sure going to be this year at least but anime season is typically in the spring and early summer so I’d be kind of surprised if it came out in the fall. Although maybe it won’t be accessible in the US until then… anyway let me know what you guys think of the manga.
