how does hype have anything to do with episode count. 12 episodes was definitely a smart decision from a production side. CSM production value is higher than any show they have made in the past. Keeping that quality for 24 episodes would not be possible and not healthy for the staff.

chainsaw man having 12 episodes would neither hurt or help with AOT part 3 since it’s completely different groups of people working on both

Yes and JJK was much less consistent in terms of quality than CSM, can't have both.
Btw AOT production time as nothing to do with CSM episode count

However, we are getting quality over quantity, so I am fine with it. Also, there's JJK and AOT, so, next season is packed, too.

Well they already have a very busy start of the year in a few months so it makes sense to air a 12 episode season, remember that we'll get a new AOT season PLUS a 24 CONSECUTIVE cour for Jujutsu Kaisen.

I'm not disappointed at all, but I know what you feel about us getting 12 CSM episodes

You definitely know that MAPPA done this part thing all the time.

AOT FINAL season -> FINAL p2 -> FINAL - FINAL act.

Tbh, since this series is just starting out. They are still speculating on how well this series perform and look at the sales.

It can be S2. Makima simps just need to throw their wallet at the waifu merch (i.e. figurines) like a true hardcore Makima fan to fund the show.

I was expecting MAPPA to pick up Solo Leveling but another studio took it before them.

I think as long as everything is on schedule, they’ll announce it towards the end or at the end of these 12 episodes. I wouldn’t rule out another cour dropping for the spring season but we’ll see. Either way they’re going to adapt the entire 1st part asap, barring some unforeseen issues.

let animators and the other staff rest a little for fuck sake. Also 12 episodes helps MAPPA review what worked and what didnt. So next season, which will have the most important arcs of the story, will be done way better.

It doesnt work like that my friend aot production has nothing to do with csm so it doesnt matter when csm production ends because both productions dont overlap as there are completely diferent personal working on each series. Csm only got 12 eps for the sake of quality in the larger spectrum of the series but dont worry because season 2 is going to happen and its better this way so that they can keep the quality as their highest priority and not deliver eps in a crunch resolting in visable drops of quality during the eps.

despite the fact that some people can't ignore those 20 frames of out of place looking cgi in episode 1, this show clearly is as polished as it gets.

I'm not surprised they went with 12.

this is already a big risk for mappa with how much money they have put into it.

making it double length would mean doubling the risk, and that just sounds like a bad move.

CSM has the most consistent and highest quality from everything else they done, id rather less episodes and have this level of animation than a rushed adaption and to give the overworked animators some time to breathe

also if they done more than 12 eps most of the source material would be used and the wait for next seasons would be longer and it wouldn't boost the manga sales as much so that's probably another reason

Mappa is solo producing this show. It's the biggest financial risk the studio has ever taken. If CSM anime fails than Mappa as a studio would lose a lot of money. No wonder they went for 12 episodes as they don't want to increase the financial risk that this show has. If Chainsaw Man becomes successful however than Mappa will join the big leagues as one of the big studios that can afford high budget production like Production IG or Toei. If Chainsaw Man is a success than their will definitely will be a second season and it will most probably be even better animated than the first one. Let's just hope this season of CSM is successful.

Seemed pretty obvious to me that they want to go with:
1st season -> Reze arc movie -> 2nd season
There's no way the 1st season is gonna cover reze arc with this pace. And it's length is perfect for a movie. Smart choice.

Even if I agree with your stupid opinion of them decreasing quality and increasing the number of episodes, it still wouldn't make sense at all. Csm part 1 is "Public Safety Saga" with 8 arcs. The series undergoes huge tonal shifts after the 3rd arc - which is the current arc, and after arc 5 that is the Bomb devil arc, every arc is longer and darker and way harder to animate than current arcs. 20 something episode season would have ended at a weird place. The best they could have done is to adapt the 5th arc which would take 3 or 4 episodes and end with a 16 episode season.
