will Chainsaw Man become an even bigger hit than Demon Slayer in Japan in terms of popularity and profit?
| Demon Slayer was a big hit in Japan in just a short amount of time and it generated billions of dollars in profit in that country alone Japan is still the single biggest market for anime anyway Attack on Titan is a worldwide hit but its overshadowed by Demon Slayer in Japan for example and Attack on Titan did not even rank and is nowhere to be found on this list https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest-grossing_media_franchises but Demon Slayer is part of that list of highest profitable media franchises worldwide thanks to the Japan Market alone so thoughts? i voted i do not know |

do you think Chainsaw Man will be part of this list https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest-grossing_media_franchises |

A CSM movie could do similar numbers than Mugen Train (probably not beat it).do you think Chainsaw Man will be part of this list https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest-grossing_media_franchises Attack on Titan is not part of that list of highest grossing media franchises btw while Demon Slayer is part of it but ok will see |
| I mean you never know but I highly doubt it. |
 |
| Why do you care so much about Japan when rest of the world is looking. It will become globally much bigger. |
| Demon Slayer often plays it safe while Chainsaw Man is really risky, unpredictable and insane at times It’s be cool if CSM surpassed DS but it’s highly unlikely it’s still going to be extremely popular |

| Probably not tbh. Demon Slayer appealed to Japanese kids and even the elderly, entire families were watching that show in Japan. Chainsaw Man is maybe too gory and horny to have that massive appeal. |

But the thing is that Demon Slayer wouldn't even be on that list if not for the news articles regarding its success stating the amount of wealth it has garnered from who knows where, there is no legitimate way to gather those type of statistics unless they make similar success stories for Chainsaw Man. |

| I don't think so since KnY is the type of story that can be enjoyed by a much larger demographic than CSM. I think it will be much more popular in the west. |
 |
| I dont think so. Kny is a big big obstacle for CSM. Even its manga sales wont come close. I think that Kny's plot and characters resonate with the liking of Japanese people and CSM doesn't do the same thing. |
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.  |

Genuinely curious. |

| So is this show worth watching or something? |
FilthyDream said: It's not confirmed, but it's very likely. Season 1 will most likely cover the first 39 chapters of the manga, and the next arc after that is perfect for a movie. Yeah I can think why. Mappa and other studios are going towards producing movies so I wont be surprised if CSM gets one as well. |
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time. |
| Chainsaw Man will never be able to replace Demon Slayer in japan, it's far too gory and dark in order to reach the same audience that Demon Slayer managed to reach over there. However, in the Western part of the world Chainsaw Man will shatter Demon Slayer into its subatomic particles. It's not even going to be a competition anymore. CSM's source material was always objectively superior to the Demon Slayer manga, but now we know that Mappa is even ELEVATING Chainsaw Man with their adaptation. There is no hope left for Demon Slayer to win this battle, at least outside of Japan. |
| Yes. We all love to see that happened. |
| No because CSM's story and themes aren't normie-lized like Demon Slayer's. |

DayRivia said: Why is there a subsect of fans who NEED Chainsaw Man to be a blockbuster success? It's so odd. I've never seen this for another show where the fans are so adamant the anime will be the greatest thing ever. because its the most hype upcoming anime right now so comparisons to other big anime is inevitable |

Which that list does not even refer to enough for these type of series. |

| oh look, the 5th thread this week comparing demon slayer to chainsaw man you are active on this forum far too much to not see how often this comparison is made. seems you are only making this thread for the forum clicks / replies at this point |
| i don't know nor do i really care lol |

How is Chainsaw Man a once-in-a-lifetime-series when even Fire Punch from the very same author is the same but that one is even more edgy? |
