if we ignore their manga, both anime at first ep are really good but what do you think? which one is better?

In my Opinion
Tokyo ghoul is far better
with these reasons...

1.Tokyo ghoul had better voice actors, almost all of them, special kaneki and touka
2.far better opening
3.both have good quality and graphic but tokyo ghoul is little bit better, 2D>Cgi
4.far better art and art style becase it is 2D not Cgi
5.better story and plot
6.better world building
7.better atmosphere
8.far better ost
9.better turning to evil or goul, in tokyo ghoul kaneki who turned to ghoul was far better, very intersting and had far better events, date with rize and... . Actually It was Unique.
10, better cast or charachters.
11. maybe another reason is, tokyo ghoul is sienen not shounen, in sienen anime everything is more real. and some reason i don't remember.

Actionwise CSM was better, the content ain't anything spectacular. In terms of set up suspense and atmosphere I prefer Toky Ghoul.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

Tokyo Ghoul, haven't watched it in years and my memory is foggy but I atleast know it was good, chainsaw man episode one was really bad and I'm praying the rest of the series isn't going to be as shit.

Tokyo ghoul's first episode was actually brilliantly done. Its hard to top it.
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.

Obviously CSM ep 1 had way better animation and emotional story. The VA of Denji was Fantastic. BUT

The music in Tokyo Ghoul was way better than the 1st ep of CSM. The VA was also good, although Denji's VA was better imo. And lastly the Opening theme Boosts is enough for a win.

I loved the first episode of CSM but TOKYO GHOUL EP 1 was way more thrilling and an amazing turn of events.

Awful animation and art style
Uninteresting and boring fight scenes especially in comparison to this part in the manga
The story seems pretty uninteresting at the moment, if it picks up from here it's the only thing left that can save this.
It's a fucking snoozefest and not even nice to look at

Overall Tokyo Ghoul had so much potential.. the concept was great but the execution were really bad.. unfortunately :)

As art, animation, characters, plot goes there is no comparison to CSM at the moment and I believe it never be. Tokyo Ghoul was phenomenal.

Tokyo ghoul is one of my favorites while chainsaw man i didn't bother continuing after first few chapters, it's not my thing. Don't know about episode per say, i didn't watch it. Though i may watch anime for action alone

2d is not just a "little bit" better than CGI.
It's far superior than CGI.
Anime is Japanese cartoon.
And cartoons are drawings, not CGI.
yes.

Respectfully, in my own opinion it's not even a comparison, CSM chapter 1 was absolutely beautifully portrayed in episode 1, the animation, the 2D blending, the rotoscoping, the cinematography, the compositing, the soundtrack, and the beautiful animated opening, everything felt cinematic. I like how denji at first was having a hard time carrying those huge chainsaw in his hand and in his head, that's why he look so clunky and weird, I love how MAPPA portray those small things that the manga didn't show. Another point is Tokyo Ghoul Op Unravel was good not just good it was a masterpiece, "the song is" but can you even compare it to CSM opening, visually speaking not the song? No, you can't only a blind person would say otherwise.

This guy made the exact same post in CSM threads and he agrees to his own nonsense of a post with alt accounts here as well. Also his broken english is not in his favour either. Why compare Tokyo Ghoul with CSM anyways?

They're pretty popular among the normie type modern anime fans so I suppose it makes sense to them

Makes sense I guess though I didn't have even a slightest thought of comparing these two.

it has been so long since i watched tokyo ghoul, and honestly i prefer chainsaw man, but in terms of first episode hype, i'm sure Tokyo ghoul is better, i remember how excited it made me to keep watching. Chainsaw man is amazing, the story and stuff too (coming from someone who read the manga), the animation is a lot better, but as i said, in terms of hype, Tokyo ghoul wins that one
