Popularity wise we have quite a few of contendors.

-AoT Final Season Pt 2 and probably end with a movie.
-Bleach TYBW
-Spy x Family
-JoJo Part 6
-Demon Slayer Entertainment District

And of course, Chainsaw Man. I think everyone already knows it, even if they don't want to admit it, but CSM will be the biggest release of the year (even if sales wise it's looking like Bleach will probably take the cake).

So what do you think about it right now as the year is kicking off? How easily will CSM take the crown? Or are you under the AoT rush right now for the moment?

I didn’t read the manga but based on the talk I would want to predict that CSM will have the highest sales and will be the AOTY. If AOT S4 will be considered for the awards then it’s gonna have amazing competition.

Bleach easily stomps I think ( haven’t read or seen bleach ) but I think it may win

JoJo will probably get the AOTY title from me personally. But I think if the whole CSM anime looks as good as the trailer did it will definitely be a massive hit. As for AoT, from what I've seen the ending seems to be pretty controversial so it will most likely depend on that. If it's well received it could easily overshadow everything else this year, but if it's a flop it might only stay on people's minds for bad reasons...

CSM will also get the same audience that buy Slice of Life to buy it since people might think it's just a gore series when it has a lot of heart-warming moment that will become apparent when the series starts airing. So those people who are already on SxF will go to CSM too.

the animes which have already got aoty can't be counted again for aoty they will be automatically removed so yeah most probably the rivals of csm are going to be spy family, jigokuraku

Jigo is in similar position of CSM with no anime yet there is virtually no interest towards it. Is the manga even selling anything?

I don’t know if there are any update on sold so IDK but the last time I check the Shounen Jump + web(2-3 months ago), Jigokuraku was 4th place on the web trending.

At least when they were both publishing, Jigo sold 70k on a volume, while CSM sold 130k on a volume launched the same week. By comparison, an Spy x Family volume launched around the same time sold around 500k units, so it's pretty obvious which is the most popular.

Popularity wise, its looking like this in japan.
Kny Entertainment district arc/Aot s4 (Both are immensely hyped right now so cant say which one is more)
Bleach TWBY (A lot of people are looking for its come back)
Chainsaw man
Spy x family (Well the manga sales does say that spy x family is more popular in japan than CSM but there is an equal chance for both of them)
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.

It's going to pretty hard to be honest
We have a huge opponent in AOT the final season part 2
But I think it can happen if MAPPA goes all out
The plot and characters are there
We just need a god tier adaptation
(I personally don't think jojo part 6 and spy x family will cause that many problems since the manga fandom likes CSM more)

Well let’s look at it
New anime made by one of the most famous studios
Popular manga
Will be talked about to oblivion
Isn’t a second season or anything
I think based off popularity it will win its anime of the year
And it will be great but I do hope there will be something to rival it because I would love to see something as fun as chainsawman

new animes like spy x family, chainsaw man, blue lock, etc. should be the nominees for AOTY, not sequel/season 2 or more like aot s4p2, demon slayer s3, mob psycho s3, mha s6, etc. So it will be more fair ig. Anyways, if that is the case then CSM will easily be AOTY

Your last statement is completely wrong and the ending for me is 7/10. It's not bad not good either.

If the ending in AOT is a lot more content ish for the most chapters that's near the climatic ending then AOT will definitely get the anime of the season, Spy X Family is also very unique and if the pacing is slow with some more additional content to compliment an aspect from the chapter they're adapting in a certain episode since the chapters are currently short in amount but long in page length then this can be a contender too, also CSM is very strong from the beginning until the end, we can't deny the world building is very appealing and characterization is well written > interesting ability and specialty too so therefore, if everything is keeping up like this then definitely it'll be another contender. My biggest worried is not all about the AOTY but the war is definitely going to be a competition later on which can be a source of entertainment for sure :P

Stone ocean ending clears all these shows, but I don't think a sequel would win Aoty

I guess Chainsaw man would take the crown. Its better than Spy x Family for a good reason

Wait...whenever I see the term "AOTY" on these forums, is it just referring to the Crunchyroll award? Because if that's the case then it shouldn't even be a question since it would just go with Shingeki no Kyojin, Kimetsu No Yaiba or CSM this year regardless of whether they are good or not. It's a mere popularity poll afterall.

Bleach has been off the seen for 10 long years, animation and production has changed in anime... I think Bleach can come back with a boom and show off the punkish gritty side Bleach really is especially since now it's being uncensored while having Shiro here and a new very good director... With the way anime has changed i think it can definitely become Aoty.
