I’m relatively new to anime but the buzz around CSM is making me wonder if it will be the next biggest anime that becomes so popular and is so good that even some non anime watchers will eventually hear about it? What do you think?

Not AOT levels sense AOT made anime truly popular in Western places outside of the big 3 that mostly had anime fans while AOT had GOT and everyone talking about it. It won't be Demon Slayer in manag sales since I would call Demon Slayer a golden tickert that made anitwitter and it can't be replaced there but in terms of disuccsion of the anime I think it could surpass it now but at it's peak then no since Demon Slayer is more kid friendly and shonenen than Chainsaw man.

Yes, Chainsaw Man will surpass AoT and rival DS. AOT is dozens of times less popular than Demon Slayer statistically and CSM is going to be the next DS, no doubt.

However that doesn't take everything into consideration as Dragon Ball Super for all its flaws reigns supreme over both, with its long-term marketing potential.

it’ll be insanely popular but probably won’t reach aot or demon slayer levels bc it’s more graphic ig. will be like a cult classic in the future

You don’t provide any statistics either lmao. DS is much more popular with younger audiences and AOT is much more popular with mature audiences. The younger audience is much larger and thus DS is more popular whether you like it or not. On sites, most of the time only older viewers/watchers vote so ofc AOT will appear more popular

It will be more popular than KnY in the west (I don't think it will be in Japan). It actually has a chance of being more popular than AoT, at the very least it will be close.

In terms of popularity this is easily the most popular I have seen a manga get internationally without an anime adaption. Ultimately though while the action and hype moments will bring in the casuals SxF was also pretty big just due to the wide appeal it has. We are getting to a point that anime is becoming more well known internationally. Hit titles like this aren't going to be uncommon. Intentionally I think CSM will be at least on par with the above titles if the adaption is good.

In Japan DS is a whole other thing. That is a once in generation title. We aren't going to see sales like that again at least not for awhile (stuff like CoVid I think helped), CSM though already was getting closer to AOT manga sales per volume without an anime adaption so I think it will surpass it there once the anime is out.

If we’re talking about the west then it has potential to pass AOT although not DS as I think it’s more popular here currently. As for world wide there’s no way csm surpasses DS.

Some people think Attack on Titan is less popular than demon shitter when it was the most in demand show last year, even more so than game of thrones.

Where did that come from if demon slayer pulled more views on episodes and sold more copies of their manga? And demon slayer was also searched up more on google.

Sales. Demon Slayer made over 8 billion dollars in one year.
AoT's total franchise net worth is less than 1 billion.

Depends on where you're talking about. Demon Slayer is more popular in Japan and has volume sales than AoT. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_manga
AoT is more popular than in the west. I feel like CSM will be more popular among Western audiences. Only time will tell and it depends on how well Mapppa does on CSM because DS was carried by ufotable.

I don't know what's more stupid, thinking AOT is less popular than KNY or thinking that CSM will be more popular than AOT. It took AOT three seasons(with parts) to reach an insane amount of popularity. The story in chainsaw man is not as compelling nor does it have the required depth. There's a reason pretty much everyone in the anime/manga industry has read it, it is relatively short and can be easily consumed. Not the kind of series you would expect to stay popular after it ends.

AoT is more popular than KnY in the West, and KnY is more popular than AoT in Japan. Also, CSM won't be forgotten after it ends, cope.

AoT isn't as popular as you claim it is.

The Demon Slayer movie alone was more than likely more profitable than all those three AoT seasons together.

It will take less than one season of CSM to surpass AoT's legacy.

Numbers (Sales) don't show AoT as popular as DS, because, let's face it, a very big chunk of the western fanbase are probably reading it for free somewhere over the Internet or, if they are actually paying anything for it, it's via a service not made specifically for that series but to access a large catalogue of different titles.

Chainsaw Man will be no different. It will probably be discussed and hyped even more than both AoT and DS, but the ones who will actually affect the sales statistics the most will be the Japanese.
So, time will tell how much the Japanese will go and purchase the volumes for a manga no longer in publication (Chainsaw Man 2 is, so far, a completely different story)

in Japan Demon Slayer is a absolute juggernaut franchise. A multi billion dollar ip who is only beat out in value by dragon ball, one piece, and sailor moon. All of which have had Decades to establish themselves whilst Demon slayer has only really been around since 2016. Everyone in Japan knows about demon slayer.

Okay bro. The most likely scenario is that. like most short series it will reach a peak of popularity and that popularity will only go down with a lack of content. It's simple. No need to throw words like "cope". There is a mammoth of anime that reached an incredible amount of popularity while airing only to be pushed to the side for the new seasonals. That's how the anime industry works. Why should I believe that CSM will be the exception?

I admit AOT may not be as popular as KNY because I was judging by eye test and the massive amount of hype around AOt since season 3 part 2. But saying CSM will surpass AOT's legacy after less than one season is just outlandish to me. There's recency bias and there's this. Craziest shit I've seen all week. Every time I open a thread relating to CSM(which is a lot lately) it's always people making brain-dead takes. At least wait for your overrated anime to come out before overrating it. That used to be the protocol around here.

Many forget that CSM has an excessive amount of violence, gore, sexual scenes and even a bit of fanservice at the beginning of the series. It's not something you can recommend to just anyone.

I think CSM can be a big disappointment for people who haven't read the manga, because the story presents a very different narrative and plot, with a different protagonist, with "futile" motivations and questionable attitudes, and for people who are expecting something like Demon Slayer, AOT, or even Jujutsu Kaisen, which has a similar proposal, can end up being a very big break of expectation, the manga readers are people who like this type of story and understands the whole background of the character, the universe in which he is inserted, the context in which he grew up, and that things allows you to understand the motivations, and why he is like that, but because of all the hype, the anime will reach other people, which may not be used to this type of story and may end up causing a strangeness. I 'm not saying that all this hype is bad, even because many people, like me, who like knowing this type of narrative, end up and falling in love with this amazing work, i have some reservations about the repercussion and reception that the anime can have.

Death Note wasn't forgotten, Attack on Titan won't be forgotten, Fullmetal Alchemist wasn't forgotten...Why would CSM be forgotten after the anime ends? Also, the manga isn't even finished, so I wouldn't call it ''short''.
