Considering CSM has 11 volumes and 97 chapters, how many episodes and seasons do you think this series will have. My prediction is it will be 2-3 seasons long with the first 2 having 24 ep and the third having 12 ep. This is just a guess and I’m not a dedicated manga reader so I don’t know how studies like mappa deal with such anime.

My bet is a 16 episode season, a movie, and another 16 episode season

My vague prediction is 17 hours total runtime +- 2 hours. Translate it into however many episodes or a potential movie you might want.

Sounds like a good guess. Movies are increasing in popularity in anime. I can definitely see a movie for the series.

Okey idiot here, generally a studio uses 4-5 chapter from a manga to make an anime episode. Considering there is extra content (the beach scene in the trailer) I imagine there are going to be 20-24 episodes to cover everything. Now considering mappa's other work I imagine they are going to make either 1season with 24 eps spanning over 2 seasons or two parts of 12eps broadcasting in different years.

With the heavy action and fast pacing(there’s a “Chainsaw Man’s pacing” meme. In case you dont know it’s when something process way too fast, people call it “Chainsaw Man’s pacing” and that should give you an idea about the pacing of CSM), the anime will have less than 30 episodes(26-30 is my guess).

1 season with 24-26 ep, if they adapt 4 chapters per episode its possible.

It can be done in 3 cours. Now that I think about it, maybe 3 cours is too much. 2 maybe?

I don't think there will be that many episodes of it. Considering the manga have only 97 chapters and every chapter is almost 20 page and don't happen that much in each chapter, I would guess 2 cours and a movie.

Excuse me what😂 60 episodes for a 97 ch manga?
I mean every episode adapts 45-50 pages of manga...but in case of a action manga...i would say 60 pages. Now each chapter of chainsaw man has 20 pages, i would have to say 32 (22 + 10) episodes are more than enough to adapt the whole series...but it can actually be squeezed down to 25 episodes 1 season as well...but then they will have to cut some parts out...which I am sure they will, coz there are some scenes that are surely going to get censored.

It’s most likely they just animate the entire manga in one go. Could be done in ~30-32 episodes in my opinion. It’s a very very fast read

lol I was pulling it outta my ass. That’s why I was like I’m not a manga reader and I don’t know how this is usually done. But good to know how they adapt for anime like CSM. Cause I know if one piece adapted this it would be 97 episodes from what I heard from a friend.

Jujutsu Kaisen season one has 2.5 chapters adapted per episode. If we take the same pacing then Chainsaw Man would have 39 episodes. But since Chainsaw Man has a much faster pace than Jjk then it might be around 36 episodes.
Now 36 episodes can be divided into 2 or 3 seasons. Or maybe they can keep it all in just one season.
If they decide to do a movie then I think it will either cover the reze arc or the Assassins and the Hell arc

i think they might do a season per part, so maybe 30-40 eps for part one? i hope they do a season per part because it’ll feel weird if they dont. they should also add some filler too or at least slow down some things because the manga is way too fast paced

40 episodes is way too much for such a short series.

3 cour is probably ideal but with how stupidly fast paced chainsaw man is, and how much of it is voiceless action its very possible to just doa n entire adaptation in 24-26 episodes without feeling that rushed if they have a good enough director. I think we are going to see the first 30 some chapters of the series adapted really slowly just cause thats where all the talking is and after that its gonna pick up the pace adapting more chapters per episode.

Like there are certain parts of the series that are so action heavy I sincerely think it might only amount to like 2 minutes of content. Theres a good reason the manga itself is already one of the most binge friendly series out there right now.

Season 1 - 24-26 episodes covering the 5 first arcs ( until Bomb Girl Arc) then Season 2 can be just 12-13 episodes covering Int. Assassins and Gun Devil Arc. To finish it off they could adapt the final arc into a 2h movie, thats the best option imo

Jujutsu kaisen was adapted with 60 chapters maybe first season will be 25 episode and second season will be about 12 episodes or they will do a 37 episode adapting the whole part 1....or maybe they will go for a 25 episode and there will be a lot of missing arcs :(

I've been wondering about that as well when reading the manga... the pacing is incredibly fast so I can definitely imagine that the whole series can wrap up in 24 or 25 episodes in total.

I guess it’s somewhat possible for MAPPA to animate this into 24 episodes and if imma be honest the chapters feel short for some reason but idk I think they’ll animate 24 episodes then 12 episodes but I feel like it would be slow paced

jiujitsu kiasen adapted 63 chapters in 24 episodes. They'd have to pull 36 episodes for this one since the action scenes will most likely be fleshed out too.

They could do 36 episodes like Death Note, or a 12 episode season for the final 2 arcs, which is more likely considering the stuff Mappa is working on at the same time.
