We all know that Death Note has been the #1 anime for almost 16 years now when it comes to introducing average people to the world of Japanese animation, but for the first time ever, it seems like a new show will be able to take that spot once and for all.

What do you think? Will CSM manage to become the most popular starter anime for new anime watchers? Everything so far seems to indicate so. Best animation, music, sound design, story, characters, creative designs, originality, etc.

Discuss.

I mean, every new generation of young eager anime watchers need its own "starting anime" so sure, yeah, why not.

Young anime watchers love gore, and when 2d girls talk nasty to them.

That is irrelevant. A lot of anime fans love gore.

No just based off of its contents. Chainsaw man is brutal, gross, and just downright bat shit crazy. All of these are reasons why we love the manga, but for the mainstream audience it’s a big tonal change compared to your MHA or DS. It’s more aligned with how AOT released except a lot more morally questionable. It will be popular, but I won’t blame people being put off it because of its contents.

no It want, Simply because there are shows that include more genders or Better story, the people look for something when watch an anime, the anime that i suggest for a non anime watcher is OPM .

Currently, Demon Slayer and One Punch Man deem like the best gateway anime and I honestly doubt anything will beat them in that matter.

I'm not sure because the anime hasn't even been released yet (although I'm certain it'll be well adapted). But talking from the storyline of the manga, my answer would probably be yes.

Gore? Check.
Waifus? Check.
A cool power system? Check.
Demons and monsters? Check.
Cool fight/combat match ups? Check.
Fairly simple and easy to follow storyline and also quite fast paced? Check check check.

Basically what you'd be expecting from most shounens with main focus being fights and conflicts, it has it, and the teen edginess adds on to satisfy the taste of majority of the anime fandom.

Nothing you said is based on reality, especially the "better story" part

if only the production is as good as jujutsu kaisen then yes. (their anime outperformed their manga)

I doubt csm's production can be as good as it

Between the gore, nudity and mature themes I can’t imagine ever recommending it to someone who has never watched anime or read manga before. In addition some of the things the series does play on common tropes within anime and manga which you wouldn’t know about unless you were already into anime and manga.

It might or it might not, it is a bit more niche and out there than most shounen imo (which is a good thing) so we'll see.

I think it's too bizarre to be a popular starter anime. a starter anime has to be digestible for someone new to the medium, and chainsawman isn't what comes to mind when I think of a digestible show for a new audience.

probably won't be the best 1st anime to start off with since I think my appreciation of the manga so far is that it really is different from all the other shounens and so I would recommend nearly any other shonen to start off with like a big 3/Dragon ball Aswell as MHA JJK Demon Slayer.

Not even close, most starter anime usually are watched on TV before people start going to internet to watch other anime.

i loved the manga, but it can't be a good starter. tons of gore and horny stuff, I don't think that ppl who aren't already into anime would appreciate that

Chainsaw Man is a horrible starter anime. New anime viewers won't be able to appreciate it's uniqueness because they haven't had enough anime to see the cliches and tropes of typical shounen anime like MHA or Black Clover.

I think at this point it may even surpass shows like “Arcane” and “Invincible” in terms of hype and acclaim.

yeah it’s possible, new anime watchers would love chainsaw man

Friends are nothing more than the people who you spend the fun, yet meaningless times with. When those times get rough, they aren’t there to support you.
