The appeal of ‘Adventure Dark fantasy Supernatural’ anime was increased by Jujutsu Kaisen. Epic, flawless animation and horrifying, jaw-dropping battles. What else could weebs ask for? There is no doubt that Jujutsu Kaisen has enhanced the competition for other related genres. Jujutsu Kaisen is one of the most well-liked anime series in recent years. From both series to movies, JJK has been wildly successful at the box office worldwide.
In the same loop, fans are eagerly anticipating Chainsaw Man, a new supernatural anime. The release date for Chainsaw Man Anime Episode 2 (English Dub) is October 25, 2022. Millions of people who have read this comic already are eagerly awaiting it. TX Network will air this anime’s initial broadcast, and the whole season is comprised of a total of 12 episodes.
Out of every great anime that will be released in the Fall of 2022, Chainsaw Man is certainly one of the most anticipated new series by far. There are some of the things you can expect from Chainsaw Man based on the manga, from quirky characters to bloody action. Chainsaw Man revolves around the story of Denji, a young man who is coerced into working for the Yakuza after inheriting his father’s debt.
A young man fuses with his pet demon after being left for dead and is reborn as a powerful devil-human hybrid. He is then recruited into a group that hunts devils. Denji and his pet devil, Pochita, have been hunting “Devils” for the mob since he was a little child in order to pay off the enormous debt of his father.

Jujutsu Kaisen is the story of a sorcerer named Yuji Itadori, who joins his school’s occult club for entertainment purposes but learns that its members are real sorcerers who can control the energy between beings for their own purposes.
He finds out that other cursed monsters want a cursed talisman known as the demon Sukuna’s finger. Yuji’s objective as he enrolls in Tokyo Jujutsu High with the other jujutsu sorcerers is to locate Sukuna’s remaining fingers.

Similar is how Makima, a senior Public Safety Devil Hunter, finds Denji. Then, Denji sets out on missions with his colleagues to locate fragments of the Gun Devil. However, Chainsaw Man tops them all in terms of plot. Because of its darker and gorier, and more horrific plot than JJK, some viewers may not be able to predict the plot’s twist.
In terms of fighting and animation, JJK has more engaging and intriguing fighting animation than CSM in the mangas. Compared to Chainsaw Man, Jujutsu Kaisen has a considerably calmer movement style. When compared with Chainsaw Man’s berserk-like style of fighting sequences, the fight flow is also considerably more merciful. There are a few JJK moments that might use more artwork.
Yet, in terms of total entertainment value, it is fair to state that both programs are comparable. However, JJK has better characters and concepts. But the entire plot of Chainsaw Man is incredibly sophisticated in the way it arranges events to provide for the big reveal or twist.
