Many forget that CSM has an excessive amount of violence, gore, sexual scenes and even a bit of fanservice at the beginning of the series. It's not something you can recommend to just anyone.

But will that be adapted into the anime? We don’t know yet.

We actually know. In a interview in the Anime Expo, they said the anime won't be censored.

However that doesn't take everything into consideration as Dragon Ball Super for all its flaws reigns supreme over both, with its long-term marketing potential.

Idk if it’ll be the next DS, DS resonated extremely well with Japan. Whole generations of families watched it. It was a cultural phenomenon over there. CSM is a lot Moore graphic and less family friendly. I think it’ll be closer to AOT than DS

oh I read your message wrong lol.

but still, not popular in japan? didn't it get kono manga sugoi: https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2020-12-09/chainsaw-man-onna-no-sono-no-hoshi-manga-top-kono-manga-ga-sugoi-2021-lists/.167261

and anime that ppl want to see adapted?


im basing purely on manga sales alone, but who knows if the anime adaptation will have its Demon Slayer episode 19 moment that boost the manga sales by a huge margin

I don’t think it needs an episode 19 moment to boost its sales. From the staff announced for the anime it looks like it’ll be the best MAPPA production by far. JJK and Tokyo Revengers got huge boosts after their first seasons and neither are DS level of animation quality. Especially TR

people who say it will surpasses aot or deman slayer just from the single season don't know what the popularity mean it may not even surpass JJK(as its popularity is insane after the release of movie) and whats with the thread this is probably the 67th one asking for 'will it surpass the popularity' people need to chill out their asses its just a fucking anime.

I think it will be more popular than DS but if it will have only one season than it will not be as popular as AOT. If the 2nd season is also very good I think that it will get near AOT. AOT is very famous because it has lasted for so long and if Chainsaw Man just comes for a season and goes it will also be forgotten.

I believe it will depend on how Mappa Studio will approach the adaptation, and the number of episodes in a season. We know there are a lot of manga readers, and we know the anime will have a big audience when it comes out. I believe it's possible to reach a similar amount of fans similar to AOT, but I don't think that's likely to happen. Not in a short time. Chainsaw Man is still quite new (2018) compared to AOT (2009/2013), although CSM has a large audience.

so that makes me hopeful about that. for sure, the anime will bring many fans to know this work.

Yes because demon slayer has both the kids audiences and the mature audiences.
On other hand AOT doesn't have any kid audiences.

So yes DS is more popular than AOT in some aspects but if you see the most popular anime EVER, than AOT is ahead of DS only because demon slayer was started airing in 2019 and aot was started in 2013.Aot already has more time than demon slayer so it is more popular than DS in my opinion.

I don't know what's more stupid, thinking AOT is less popular than KNY or thinking that CSM will be more popular than AOT. It took AOT three seasons(with parts) to reach an insane amount of popularity. The story in chainsaw man is not as compelling nor does it have the required depth. There's a reason pretty much everyone in the anime/manga industry has read it, it is relatively short and can be easily consumed. Not the kind of series you would expect to stay popular after it ends.

AoT isn't as popular as you claim it is.

The Demon Slayer movie alone was more than likely more profitable than all those three AoT seasons together.

It will take less than one season of CSM to surpass AoT's legacy.

certainly AOT season 4 pt2 was officially the most in demand series of 2022 which also includes all movies and live actions series too.

There is no opinion though, all the statistics show DS is more popular, it’s why one piece, dragon ball and Pokémon are all the most popular, because they get the most views and sell the most stuff.

The fact that DS sold way more manga copies than AoT in like less than half the time says enough

demon slayer is more popular because it is available in probably in every country.
I live in India which is 2nd most populated country in world.
So here I can watch demon slayer officially on Netflix but we don't have any official site to watch AOT.
AOT is neither available on Netflix or in crunchyrool in India.
These are one of the major reasons why demon slayer is getting more views than aot and also it is mostly lighthearted comedy show with simple story and great action so it is fit for all types of general audiences.

As per merchandises,
Everyone who has ever watched aot and demon slayer knows that DS merchandises are sooo much cooler and good looking compared to AOT merchandises.
AOT has one of the most simple character design ever in anime.

Although as per question will CSM surpass AOT and DS Popularity?
In general it will probably surpass AOT popularity but not demon slayer because CSM is going to be uncensored and getting age limit definitely.

But,
On MAL and other anime sites,
It could get more popular than DS but I don't think it could get more popular than demon slayer.

Also if you are talking about manga ,

you should also mention no. of chps DS and AOT has.

just take demon slayer manga sales and divide it with no. of DS chps(205)
and same do with AOT chps(139)

you will find out 'number of copies sold per chp' of bothe the animes.
Yes DS has sold more than aot because it's the same reason = anime got more popular in kids and teens(including in Japan) so they sold more than aot.

Will a 10-14 yr old boy watches a show then tell me what will make him enjoy the show?
if you agree or not it is action , comedy and emotional scenes sometimes.

if kids at that age group read/watch aot then they will just get bored and drop it.
because aot is way more mature anime/manga compared to demon slayer.

Dude Just look at Google trends and you'll see that Aot is multiple magnitudes more popular than DS. Aot literally popularized anime by itself in the west in 2013, grow tf up man ok dude?

You don’t provide any statistics either lmao. DS is much more popular with younger audiences and AOT is much more popular with mature audiences. The younger audience is much larger and thus DS is more popular whether you like it or not. On sites, most of the time only older viewers/watchers vote so ofc AOT will appear more popular

Dude just look at Google trends and stfu. Aot is sooooo much more popular than AOT that it's insane, it's so much bigger in magnitude man ok.

AoT aint that good dude. it's setting is interesting and its got great action. but other than that it's pretty boring in the long run. it's your basic shonen but more violent and dark. Plus the ending is trash. CSM is actually unique and interesting. I've read both manga's and I dropped AoT twice while I binged CSM. Also how does liking Berserk get my opinion rejected?

I do love that 100% accurate source known as google trends. Not only are you wrong about it’s popularity in the US, but look at Japan. There is so much more figures, shirts, toys, etc, merchandise of DS as opposed to AOT. Judging Popularity shouldn’t be mixed in with your own feelings. Maybe you’re an AOT fanboy but that still doesn’t make it more popular than demon slayer

So Chainsaw must be One of the greatest anime of all time then huh?

not really. it's just a really well made, incredibly paced, non conventional anime that has mainstream manga success ( exceeding even Berserk/Vagabond/AOT). So it's likely to be a GREAT-to-GOOD anime at the very least.

You obviously have no idea what you are talking about and weren't there during 2013 which is fine. Aot truly blew up in the west and truly put anime pretty much in the mainstream. You may not fully agree with my source but atleast I provided one and dint just make up fake statistics and facts like you man ok. Grow up man okay dude?

completely agree i love aot more than demon slayer but it is UNDENIABLE that DS at this point is a cultural phenomenon In Japan. in terms of merch, overall manga sales and pure marketability DS just trumps AOT at every turn. the only people who argue it are are people who don't know and people who cant bear the thought that their favorite anime/manga isn't as popular as "mid"

if you break it down it is though. The protagonist is motivated to overcome some obstacle (in this case the walls and the political machinations that are the reason for those walls) and goes above and beyond to achieve this. only in the case of AoT Eren is edgy while doing it. CSM is more unique in its off-beat honesty, Denji just wants to touch some boobs.

Considering the hype the manga received even before the announcement of the anime also considering that anime is much more mainstream than back when AOT aired I would say it has potential to surpass AOT at least in the west but I doubt it would reach DS levels of popularity in Japan. At the very least it would surpass JJK levels of popularity.

Except for having a competent final arc and ending. But we can't judge CSM yet because part 2 just started, it could have just as bad of a final arc.

Yes you are absolutely correct. I think AOT was also much better but objectively DS is more popular. Glad to see a smart AOT fan on here!

Cry more. No shit it was more popular in 2013. Almost like that’s when it released and a DS anime hadn’t even been conceived yet. Look at DS in 2019 and 2020 though. When the first season it was hype EVERYWHERE. When the movie came out it was a phenomenal success. It is now the highest grossing anime film of all time. 500 million dollars. Is that a statistic good enough for you? Grow a brain and stop worshipping a show to the point that it clouds your reasoning

It shouldn't have much trouble dethroning DS with its peak but AoT is a different beast altogether, regardless of whether you love it, hate it, or do not care.
