A great number of people probably already heard about the fact chainsaw man will only be 2 cours which would mean around 24-26 episodes and for 97 chapters this seems like a low number of episodes. But if we actually take into consideration that chainsaw man chapters are quite short and mostly action packed i can tell you that the pacing is similar to Ousama ranking and Mob psycho 100. So it is actually pretty good pacing if you ask me.

What do you mean by “the chapters are short”? They are your average 18~20 pages that most weekly manga have. I do agree that is super action-packed but still not sure if 26 will be enough.

Yeah. Mob Psycho covered 12 volumes over 25 episodes over 2 seasons, it was mostly pretty well paced (wasn’t 1:1, but wasn’t rushed or anything). 11 volumes over 2 cours is fine, 4 chapters per episode is possible

I think he meant short as in the amount of time it takes read them. Some of the chapters in chainsaw man I read in like 2 minutes while normal 20 page chapters normally take about 5 for me. So they are short in that sense

It's 20 pages each chapter and some of them are action. For a 2 Cour anime which will have 22-26 eps is really possible, I don't think it need any cut btw.

I'm hoping it's gonna be 16-Episode cours, meaning 3 chapters per episode though 13-Episode cours doesn't sound that bad considering the whole story of Chainsaw Man Part 1 is pretty short and fast paced than most other shounens in my opinion.

Around 90 chapters of Mob Psycho were adapted in 25 episodes (Season 1 2), and the content itself is slower paced compared to CSM.

So it will definitely have ample space if adapted in 26 episodes.

Yeah Ousama ranking starts of slow I thought of dropping it same with csm but still its preferable to stick up to just some episodes or chapters to get the better result or pacing after that

Yup. 2 cours are enough. CSM can be adapted in 24-26 episodes properly.

Finally somebody that thinks objectively. A chapter full of dialogue could take a whole episode to adapt, meanwhile when a fights happening a chapter could be adapted in a few minutes.

Yeah, I think 2 cour is good for 97 chapters and chainshaw man chapters are usually short compare to other manga.

Its quite stupid to assume that 2 cours = 24-26 episodes.

Mappa has already done AOT S4 with 16 episodes in a single cour.
Therefore, We can safely assume its gonna be around 16 episodes each cour.

That was a special case because it was either that, or just 10 episodes, which could've worked but mightve been underwhelming or around 22 episodes like S3, which the production hell would have never allowed.

4 "Kon" (9-11)(Page 1-10)

5 "Gun devil" (11-13)

6 "Endless 8th Floor/Kill Denji" (14-16)

7 "Chainsaw vs Eternity" (17-19)

8 "Taste of a kiss" (20-23)

KATANA MAN ARC

9 "Perfect score" (24-29)(page 1-7)

10 "Over and over again" (29-32)

11 "Easy Revenge!" (33-38) (page 1-16)

BOMB GIRL ARC

12 "Love,Flower,Chainsaw" (38-40)

13 "Before the storm" (41-43)

14 "Boom boom boom" (44-47)

15 "Lost love,Flower,Chainsaw" (48-52)

INTERNATIONAL ASSASSINS ARC

16 "In a Dream" (53-55)

17 "Quanxi and Fiends 49-Person Massacre" (56-60)

18 "Welcome to hell" (61-66)(page1-13)

19 "The first devil hunter" (66-70)

GUN DEVIL ARC

20 "Everyday life" (71-73)

21 "Don't open it" (74-77)(page 1-13)

22 "Snowball fight" (77-80)(page 1-4)

FINAL ARC

23 "A dog's feeling" (80-82)

24 episodes is obviously too short for 97 chapters but also fitting for Chainsaw Man because it feels like a fever dream after you finish it.

It's funny that you think the episode which adapts chapters 2-4 should be named "Power", even though that's when Aki gets introduced as well.

2 cours are indeed more than enough for CSM since its chapters contain a lot of action and are usually shorter than your average manga.

I am really confused whether to read the manga or wait for the anime. This is the only thing i have hopes for. I am also confused if i should binge read it or enjoy a few chapter for several days (so it doesn't end too soon). I hate waiting for years to see an anime getting adapted completely like AoT (a decade), re zero demon slayer.

wait for the anime
