Well I'd expect CGI from any studio taking it up, Chainsaw Man isn't exactly a 2d animation staff's dream.

Just putting out there for the fans of the series so they don't get disappointed when it airs. or in PV if they're honest.

I'm okay with that since I think mappa's shown through the stuff they've done on attack on titan so far that they can mix 2d and 3d stuff pretty well.

It's gonna be the Dorohedoro cgi and from the chainsaw man art I've seen, I'm only expecting it to turn out good since Dorohedoro had a very interesting and attractive art in it, especially the glorious background.

MAPPA production assistants and desk can easily recruit staff for an entire episode of CSM in a day. Some animators are literally begging to work on it.

I believe it should be mostly 2D. Perhaps they will use CGI for tricky stuff but that remains to be seen.

I, for one, honestly think that this will be better animated in 2.5D/CGI and a mix of 2D just like what they did with Dorohedoro to retain the visual integrity of the whole thing.

You can still apply sakuga principles in CGI and 2.5D if you got the right sensibilities just like how Gosei Oda's sakuga cuts made it into Dorohedoro's CGI cuts.

If they can't get Hayashi onboard (which is understandable), they better wait this one out or get the team behind Shingeki no Bahamut or God of Highschool for this.

I mean if MAPPA animates Chainsaw Man like they did with Dorohedoro then I wouldn’t mind. Both series are drawn in this gritty sketchy type of stile. I imagine it would be quite difficult to replicate that in 2d. If anything I’m more worried about censorship.

Yea, that's what happened with GOH, but i think that should be blamed on some of the producers and Crunchyroll who wanted to cram in 100+ chapters into 13 episodes.

Don't know about the GOH team though since they probably would be done with JJK at that point and I think it would be too much lol. I mean, the director worked on two shows in two consecutive seasons and despite the quality still being good, again it would probs be too much.

I personally think that the director for Vinland Saga should handle CSM since he apparently works for Mappa now. Vinland was great and the guy has experience with handling CGI so I think it may turn out well if that were to be the case (if the anime would use CGI).

I completely forgot about Shuhei Yabuta joining MAPPA. Now that you said it, he's a good fit given that he has enough experience working in 3D while he was still working in Madhouse/MADBOX.

Wait what why do y'all think this immediately? Look at JJK, they had a good amount of time when making that show and its like 99% 2D animation, they were able to do that because it's a 24 episode series so they got a ton of time to make it, I feel like it would be the same for Chainsaw Man? AOT Final Season and the Titans being CG is not a good example to represent MAPPA with as they had a very tight deadline to make 16 episodes so they had to resort to making the titans CG and I feel they did a pretty good job with it too. I feel like JJK is a good example of a reasonable and normal deadline and production time when it comes to an anime and I feel they will get the same amount of time with Chainsaw Man.

Not so much, Despite GOH being a shitty adaptation through pacing and story wise, the production was fine and mappa used CGI for the anime along with some motion cap, some 2d animation was used for it, and the same with dorohedoro, good production and yet still used CGI. With those 2 CSM will most likely be cgi since many panels would be difficult to animate.

I'm not really knowledgeable when it comes to the animation industry and its hiring process, but I know there are many talented people that would love to work on this anime. I'm looking at all the fan animations, and I also saw these same people on Twitter trying to get in contact with MAPPA wanting to work on the series... Who knows? Maybe MAPPA will bring in a lot of freelancers for this project? I heard they like to scout for animators all the time on Twitter (not sure if this is true or not), so we might be in for something truly awesome if they can get these folks involved.

Of course, I may just be hoping for too much.
It'll most likely be almost all CG with some beautiful 2D thrown in for certain moments/episodes, like we got in Dorohedoro, or traditional 2D throughout with just the transformations/devils and some background elements being CG.

We shall see soon enough when we get an official animation trailer. I really want them to go all out for this series lol

A good plot can carry a show with average to bad visuals, good visuals alone can't carry a show with a bad plot.


Chainsaw Man isn't focused in plot, it's main focus is on cool action scenes and comedy, the last chapters just show how little Fujimoto cares about plot.

Lmao you haven't even read Chainsaw man..It is well balanced in terms of plot and action that's why people praise Chainsaw man.

I agree as well, though to be fair MS100's character designs are pretty simple at best hence why it allowed such timing and sequences to happen. That also allowed further freedom to the animators to easily flex their skills with such cuts. However, seeing that kind of animation from CSM is really possible if the staff is dedicated enough to do so. God of Highschool and Kill la Kill are both good examples of pieces with dedicated staff behind them and you can pretty much see how far can you go with passion.

Simple designs are easy to animate, while complex designs are way harder to do and time consuming especially in this era when committee demands and deadlines are very unforgiving and passion can only get you so far. Have a mix of both and you'll have to think of an efficient way to do it with minimum compromises to the overall output.

Taking above in consideration, MAPPA has already proved themselves numerous times and they're one of the only credible ones out there (alongside Geno Studio and Bones) nowadays ever since Madhouse and Manglobe both fell from relevance.

They did really well with the Jujutsu Kaisen anime adaptation, especially with the animation department. I don't see why they can't put in the same effort for Chainsaw man.

JJK panels aren’t too difficult to animate whereas chainsaw man has panels that are very detailed to animate so they’ll have to rely on CGI, this anime might as well be another dorohedoro, it’ll be ok but reactions could differ.
And some animators are overworked in the studio since mappa tries to claim and adapt every anime in existence during these times.
