Neither series shies away from their vulgar grungy settings - they lean into it and become works of art. Loud, memorable characters. Relationships / pacts with demons.
Both animes were created by the same studio (MAPPA) and have many things in common, such as specific humor full of grotesque, dark and gritty elements, and of course a lot of gore.
Gore, comedy, banger EDs and wild character designs. Loveably human cast in gritty, hostile worlds. Meaty themes that you can grab with both hands!
EDIT: AND HOW COULD I FORGET - SWEET KICKS IN BOTH.

Same style, dark, gore and humor.
You need to get used to the anime style but both stories are great.
I like the story of dorohedoro better, but thats because i like other worlds and time settings better.
Both anime have a very similar type of black humor, action, and gore - and I generally find the vibes and atmosphere in both cases to be on the same wavelength. Chances are, if you like one, you'll like the other.

Similar Sense of dark humor , same creepy , bizarre , bloody and scary vibes , same studio and using excellent CG as well 👍🏼
*Both have a unique, acid and irreverent style that blends horror and comedy well.
*They do not lack violence, blood, and guts.
*Both leads are kind-hearted, rude jerks.

If you can get past the cg, it's an interesting story set in a dark/moody atmosphere with nonchalant badass characters and gory fights

What really ties together CSM and Dorohedoro is how well they mesh a dark, grisly world with goofy, lovable characters. Both are excellent at striking that balance of darkness and wackiness, and feature creative and fun world building.
There is a lot of different things betweens these 2 mangas, but i believe, if you already read one of them, or more than that, if you have watched one of them, you must take a chance to other, like the aesthetic is quite similar, but the blend of horror elements with fantasy and comedy insights is fenomenal in both.
The animation quality Chainsaw Man is unmatched but if you want something out of ordinary give a chance to Dorehedoro. Both of them are by MAPPA. Both series falls under Action/Fantasy/Gore. Check out the opening of Dorehedoro to get an idea of the bizarreness of the series!
The two stories are "wild" and "crazy". The characters are colourful, but in a crazy way. The two stories dwell on the identity on the main characters, with the true identity of Caiman, and with Denji being Chainsawman and being as "Chainsawman" and not really as" Denji"
both portray that edgy fantastical atmosphere.
Both of the main characters struggle with being something other than human in world where it's not accepted. how they overcome this? by beating the shit out of everyone who looks at them strange!!
