While these shows don’t have a lot in common story-wise, these two are comparable for being based on popular Weekly Shonen Jump manga. Plus, these two come with a lot of hype behind them. For starters, Chainsaw Man is an anime that’s based on Tatsuki Fujimoto’s manga of the same name. Even before the anime adaptation was announced, the manga was already one of the most popular titles in Shonen Jump. Meanwhile, Thousand-Year Blood War marks an anime return for Bleach, one of the most iconic shonen anime and manga from the 2000s. It’s considered one of the big three anime alongside One Piece and Naruto.

On Twitter, there are already lots of tweets from fans comparing the action of both shows.

Meanwhile, there are some who praised Chainsaw Man over Thousand-Year Blood War as there are those who prefer the more violent sequences in the former anime. While there are those debating which of the two shows is better, the sentiment overall is that fans are happy with both shows, making for an exciting Fall 2022 anime season.
