I'm talking about the color palette. Just recently I saw the official color release for the manga and I think the color scheme used in that was really cool, stylistic and overall just fit the tone of CSM. I think MAPPA are playing it safe with a 'standard' dark/gore type of color scheme but personally I would have liked it more if they tried to do something more out there like they did with Idaten Deities instead (not to the same extreme though).

Spoiler images below to demonstrate what I mean:






Funnily enough the new teaser with manga panels has some scenes similar to the above with vibrant and unusual colors, but I doubt any of the animated scenes will have that. Either way I know MAPPA will do a great job, the art and animation in the first trailer looked really clean.

Edit: the first few images were from the original color version from the first few chapters, here's some from the new version. It's color shift galore!

If it requires more job its complrtly understandable, they have so much jib like jjk, aot, csm, hells laradaise, maybe god of highschool/dorohedoro and more

The first PV is pre-animated, so the final result could be different.
If you’ve watched Devilman Crybaby, there are several color pallets that look somewhat similar to what you see in those panels. Because the character design of DMC is also here, you can expect it.

Playing it safe is probably the best option for mappa. As they have seen controversy with some of their work like AOT, keeping the same style and tone of the manga is perfect. As chainsaw man is arguably the most anticipated adaptation coming out they don’t want to mess up. Obviously it would be cool to see other styles but judging from the teasers, it looks very clean and I’m beyond excited to it!

I mean, in the case of Jojo, it was mostly done because it is Araki's style to not have one consistent color scheme for characters.

But they would do far better if they weren't working on so many projects at once, not to mention the fact that animators are more than likely being overworked...

Yeah, that's one of my only dislikes about MAPPA, they continue to pick up manga with a rough sketchy style. JJK, CSM and Hell's Paradise all fit under that same type of style but their adaptation ends up being a more smooth clean style, it doesn't look bad by any means, it just doesn't give the same feel.

I don't think there's many anime at all that use that kind of color scheme, so if you're hoping for that from ANY studio, much less MAPPA, you're in for a world of hurt. What works on the page doesn't necessarily work for an anime, for a variety of reasons. smoother, more uniform colors are much easier to draw and animate. it's the nature of anime adaptation that most will turn out smoother and less jagged than the manga. What you want is more like a motion comic, but if you actually got it, you'd complain.

Can you give me any examples of where an anime actually went with this style of coloration?

To the people saying MAPPA is doing too many projects at once, let's not forget that they also have over 250 employees. There is no reason for them to limit their ongoing projects to only a small amount, they have to pay all of their workers somehow after all. Also, they opened an entirely new office, which they are currently using just to animate Chainsaw Man (for now). We shouldn't be too worried right now. I'm sure out of all of their projects CSM is the one who will look the best and get the best treatment.

I read the manga and still don't understand why you're being so aggressive on this trailer just because it doesn't show blood, just feels like nitpicking at best. The CSM teaser didn't show blood either except for the very last scene, and this trailer already shows a bunch of the creepy stuff and semi-nudity scenes. Acting like it will censored or "the trailer is shit" just because of it feels like jumping the gun unneccessarily early.

well with stories with blood ridden hype train, people would obviously want more vigorous blood shits and that is why i like the manga. Also i personally did not like the trailer that much

The trailers make me think that they won't unfortunately. They're playing it safe and going with the gore/dark color palette, which isn't a bad thing necessarily, just a little boring and less ambitious imo.

Assuming everything from a trailer which is pre animated and it doesn’t even consist actual series scenes except few .
The best of the best freelancers and key animators are working in csm they know what they are doing .
Mappa confidentially declared that CSM will be getting Ultimate adaptation . JJK 0 had 64 freelancers , all will be working in csm + there will be more . Ryu nakayama and Tatsuya yoshihara have good number of contacts to bring best animator’s so it won’t be a disappointment

The chances that the anime will look visually different to the trailer are very very small, regardless of it being pre-animated. I don't think I've ever seen the color palette and art/animation style change once the season comes out.

The trailer already shows the type of style MAPPA is going for. They aren't doing something different like they did with Idaten Deities, they're playing it safe and going with the gore color palette.

This is entirely subject to personal opinion. IMO, the best possible adaptation for CSM would follow a similar color palette to the official manga color, I'm also not the biggest fan of MAPPA's normal style, which they are using here based on the trailer.

@Rizaadxn

The chances that the anime will look visually different to the trailer are very very small, regardless of it being pre-animated. I don't think I've ever seen the color palette and art/animation style change once the season comes out.

The pre animated trailer color palette idea was specially inspired from Shingo Yamashita jujutsu kaisen opening song 1 imitated by the director Director ryu nakayama and art director Yuusuke takeda both .
The animation director’s for every episodes have their own storyboard’s and seeing the talented animator’s which csm anime has they will sure put their own style and color visions for every episode’s. The art style might change in between series when animation directors show their style in it like Mob psycho 2 ep 5,6 etc ..


This is entirely subject to personal opinion. IMO, the best possible adaptation for CSM would follow a similar color palette to the official manga color, I'm also not the biggest fan of MAPPA's normal style, which they are using here based on the trailer.

If they use the neon Color’s like in manga I won’t think it would be perfect for an anime or it would work it out well but I’m sure they will add different Color’s in manga for some sequences.
Thinking that Mappa will go for normal style it’s utterly a prediction, I have seen the past works of the animation director’s who are going to work on chainsawman they will put their own flavour to make it more interesting and the devil designer and character designer are exceptionally talented in many ways and Kiyotaka oshiyama is known for flip flappers, space dandy and devilman crybaby. Wait for the actual trailer it’s gonna be little different from the Pv and the anime is sure going to have some interesting designs and color palette choices for every episode’s.

Funnily enough ever since the trailer for Dandadan came out I had a feeling it was going to get the adaptation I wanted to see for Chainsaw Man, I watched the premiere the other week in theaters and it was stunning, I'm so happy it's getting the adaptation I'd expect it to get but damn does it suck knowing Chainsaw Man could've had the same sort of treatment. I'm still interested to see what MAPPA plans on doing with the Reze movie regardless.
