CSM is heavily inspired by Devilman. Crybaby is the most recent and present Devilman entry. If you enjoyed Crybaby or any of the larger Devilman franchise, definitely give the CSM anime a go!
Both involve a MC that combines with a devil in order to battle other devils.
Both have similar imagery and tones.

Chainsaw Man seems like one of those stories that have been directly inspired by Devilman, so I think it is apt to make this recommendation. Both are stories of a human character who eventually becomes a devil, and must deal with the repercussion having both a human and a devil side. The stories revolve around the dichotomy of being a savior vs an outcast, and have lots of action, blood and gore.

Chainsaw man has been obviously inspired by both the original Devilman and Devilman Crybaby.
Both have great animation and music, with stupidly naive and "pure" MC that are also bloodthirsty demons. If you like anime, you NEED to see at least one, the hype is real for CSM and Devilman Crybaby is the best anime of 2018, you can't change my mind

Both are demon hybrid human leads starring in the role and lots of ultraviolence in it too and moments of suggestive content and a strong edgy and trippy feel to the chaos too.

Both are brutal, gory, mature, surreal, psychological, tragic, intense, full of sexual themes. Supernatural series where the MC becomes a human-hybrid demon.
Both shows have similar story structures. Our protagonist(s) encounter a devil and get turned into a hybrid of a man and devil (Hence the name, Devilman), which hunts other devils.
Both shows also are very graphic and show in full detail the aftermath of devil slaughtering.
