YUKIE_OREKI said:For OP, I really anticipate singers like:
1. Kitani Tatsuya (the singer who did the OP for Heion Sedai no Idaten-tachi).
Saw this MAD on youtube and thought his voice/style will be a great fit for the OP

2. (K)NoW_NAME (the singer who did OP & ED for Dorohedoro)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BK0tDxrzUOc&ab_channel=%28K%29NoW_NAME-Topic
the style and the chaotic vibe feels like a perfect fit
3. Ado (never did any OP/ED)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnSW8ian29w&ab_channel=Ado
a singer with a powerful voice and a chaotic vibe
4. millennium parade (theme song for anime movie Belle)
the band that captures the spirit of Neo-Japan. Their music feels very FREE and without restraint. They have some very very chaotic songs as well.

(trivia: the creator of millennium parade Tsuneta Daiki is also the centre of the famous music band -- King Gnu)
Others' recommendations:
-- metal could work well with Chainsaw Man, though I anticipate MAPPA to use it for Season 2 as the plot intensifies (or metal for BOTH seasons? we will see)
5. SiM (AOT Season 4 Part 2 OP singer)

6. Maximum the Hormone (Death Notes OP 2)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pN2UmX3Kmrs&ab_channel=OtakuFolks
7. Fear, and Loathing in Las Vegas (the metal band which did OP for Parasite)

For ED, let's allow some creativity to spring up! It will be a shame if chainsaw man uses a boring standard ED when the plot is so imaginative and unconventional!
ED Style 1: *eerie/depressive*
1. AAAMYYY (BNA ED 'night running')
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fH17hr8wceE&ab_channel=AAAMYYY
This song interprets eeriness quite well (well, it's called 'Over my Dead Body' so it's self-explanatory)
2. Dios (never did any anime op/ed)
personally, I think this band really captures the energy of eerie + depression and lots of their songs will be perfect for Chainsaw Man ED
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAMHq9e3HrA&ab_channel=Dios
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qE-0gzpapfg&ab_channel=Dios
3. King Gnu (bananafish ED, JJK movie OP&ED)
This group is particularly talented and is viral in Japan. Personally, i think songs similar to Prayer X (bananafish ED) would be quite suitable for Chainsaw man ED
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-Bzhpm8h0o&ab_channel=PERIMETRON
ED Style 2: bizzare, ridicule
4. Vaundy (Ranking of the King OP2 singer)
Stumble Upon this MAD on youtube -- the song 'Fukokoryoku' has a very interesting vibe (not eerie, more like a ridicule vibe -- which in my opinion works quite well with Chainsaw Man season 1's theme)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0q0fNjTydQ&ab_channel=ExtremeSenpai_%E6%A5%B5%E7%AB%AF%E5%85%88%E8%BC%A9
ED Style 3: Metal
5. MIYAVI (ED for ID:INVADED)
A metal-ish ED? would definitely hype things up!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15FKY0uXro0&ab_channel=MIYAVI-Topic
ED Style 4: Citypop (or light-hearted music + some chanting = satire)
i know you will be like ?? what? citypop? wait let me explain... the calm and relaxed citypop, contrasting with the violent bloody plot of CSM might generate a strong sense of ridicule/ satire
I stumble upon this MAD on youtube:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xu_JZgZf-e8&ab_channel=vinSanji
The fact that there a chant about the lord in this citypop just maximizes the satire (my personal fav style of CSM ED. I can already imagine the ED with footage of Makima vibing while killing everyone)
Who do you think would be a perfect fit to sing Chainsaw man's OP/ED?
