The MC is a hybrid as in a half Devil / Human in 'Chainsaw Man' or a half Curse / Human in 'Jujutsu Kaisen'
Also without going into spoilers the "Big Bad" or the "Huge Goal" is very simmilar where in, 'Chainsaw Man' the team need "parts" that ultimately lead them to the "Big Bad". Where in Jujutsu Kaisen the team needs to collect the "Parts" which will stop the "Big Bad" from awakening.
Also in both series these Parts can be used to awaken weaker

"Chainsaw Man" and "Jujutsu Kaisen" both revolve around protagonists immersed in the world of supernatural creatures and battling them using unique powers. They feature intense action scenes, complex character development, and explore themes of identity, morality, and the human condition amidst chaotic supernatural environments.

Chainsaw Man is like a completely off-the-rails version of JJK. Lot's of similarities between the series' characters and universe rules.
If you enjoyed Chainsaw Man, chances are you'll also enjoy Jujutsu Kaisen, as both anime have high-quality and similar animation styles, thanks to being produced by the same studio (MAPPA). Additionally, both series depict a contemporary world where monsters or demons conspire against society, with the protagonist and their friends joining an organization to combat these creatures. The similarities are so striking that in the second season of Jujutsu Kaisen, there is a monster with the same power as an enemy from the first season of Chainsaw Man, momentarily making me question if they hadn't defeated that monster already. However, I quickly realized they were

Both shows have very similar theme, action shounen about fighting demons/devils with demon/devil powers. Also, both shows are done by the same studio. If you enjoy one of these, you'll definitely enjoy the other one!
Both are egdy battle shounen series about killing monsters using the same kind of monster powers as them
Both series are similar in a way, and will be even more alike as the series continue. For instance, with trying to be spoiler-free,
- The protagonists get "partially" possessed by the antagonist party's remains (In Jujutsu's case, Sukuna's fingers, and in Chainsaw Man's, Pochita.)
- Both protagonists can then "partially" use the power of what possessed them.
- Both protagonists fight enemy with the enemy's power.
- Protagonist's parties consist of three members.
- Finally, Both series' main plots revolve around the antagonist trying to take control over the protagonist.
- Oh also, both are shounen series, done by Mappa studios.
As the story progresses, you guys will eventually see the

main trinity and their dynamic with each other is nearly similar, and both series have uniquely charismatic and powerful mentor characters. Also, both series have dark comedy elements, and the storyline is surprising. Some character motivations and designs are similar too, and both series are one of my favorites because they have great and characteristic materials and great fight sequences, so these specialties give them both an original and brave tone.

When I watched the first episode of Chainsaw Man I immediately thought of Jujutsu Kaisen. Jujutsu Kaisen has the main characters fight curses while Chainsaw Man's main characters fight devils.
Teenage shounen Good Boy eats stuff he shouldn't and accidentally gets a Monster inside of him. Now he must fight for the Monster Hunters lest they kill him.

New-wave action shounen anime centred around a society of soldiers who specialize in combatting a certain supernatural threat that plagues modern-day Japan. The fights take place in an urban environment and are exceptionally choreographed, which is a big appeal to the shows.
Both have amazing fight scenes and awesome yet fun casts directed by the same studio, with the same enemies and devils.

both chainsaw man and jujutsu kaisen are perfect examples of 'generic in its genre but great execution'. on top of this they also have similar characters, animation quality and openings. It feels like they both followed the same formula.

Very similar, but Chainsawman is more adult and dystopian, I think.
- Both are about t three teenagers (one girl, an extroverted boy full of energy, and an introverted boy with black hair who doesn't talk so much) killing monsters for an organization.
- In both, the MC must help this organization or die.
Both have a dark vibe
If you don't like MC with frivolous goals, maybe you shouldn't take a look at Chainsawman! But, if you are curious about what is going to happen, I should take a look ^^
Action shounen, devils and demons, similar power system and lots of comedy, and both take place in very urban settings with lots of well-made fight scenes
Both are filled with comedy and action. In both animes, there are supernatural abilities in which each characters are unique. Amazing action scenes with memorable moments.
It's made by the same studio, both have amazing openings and in general great animations. The fight scenes in both anime are great and both have quite some gore. They also both share the fact there are monsters the characters have to defeat to reach a main goal. Overall both great anime

These are two very popular animes right now, but if you haven't heard of one or the other or both, these two are basically about fighting demon-like creatures. Both involve the main characters being sort of "half-demons"

These two shows are super similar, and I mean that they are almost identical in some aspects. Both are made by the same studio, and have the same feel. I can't say too much without spoiling, but if you liked one, then you will like the other.
both of them are action genre and the at animating of these scences both of them are masterpieces but I think chainsaw is a little better in the other hand jujutsu is concentrate on magic more than physical wars so if like actions i think chainsaw is better
Both these anime have the one motive of fighting the cursed spirits(jjk) and the devils(csm) overall you'll enjoy both these shows and chainsaw man is going to be one heck of a ride the plot seems simple but there's so much more to the story I as a manga reader of this series just loved it
Both follow the common theme of fighting demon-like beings but each has a unique take on it. Both main characters also have a generally laid-back and unconventional personality. They have high quality animation and intriguing stories.
Both are very dark animes where they fight against similar demons/monsters characters.
Both have a small group of protaginists with a strong mentor (JJK = gojo) (CSM = Makima)
Both are newer seiries with amazing animation.
Same vibe about demons lending their power to humans (at a cost), both have visually stunning animation, a god-tier OP, darker plot lines, & similar character dynamics:
-Goofy & clueless main character, who becomes badass when he needs to be
-Female side character who starts out annoying at first, then grows on you
-Quiet & serious male side character carrying a lot of baggage, but opens up later on
Im going to be contrivertial here and say that they feel almost like the same thing in many aspects, just the decisions made with the characters is a little different

idk mate its have a same vibe,animation type art and character are all same lul
Both Yuji from Jujutsu Kaisen and Denji from Chainsaw Man are extroverted and jovial individuals. They have a sense of empathy towards people and will not hesitate to rush in to help those in need. Despite their flaws, Yuji and Denji are shown to be kind-hearted and warm
Both opening songs are insanely good. The main characters hunt devils and made a lot of friends and enemies along the way. The animation quality from both series is top-tier stuff and by same animation studio.
great animation for both and just enjoyable short show, don't need to know a lot to understand :)

Similar Anime Title: Jujutsu Kaisen
Description of Similarity:
I recommend "Jujutsu Kaisen" as an anime similar to "Chainsaw Man". Both anime share elements that may appeal to fans of either.
1. Genre and Theme: Both "Chainsaw Man" and "Jujutsu Kaisen" are action and supernatural anime. Both feature a world full of creatures and supernatural beings, with the main characters involved in exciting battles and dangerous confrontations.
2. Charismatic Protagonists: Both anime have charismatic protagonists who are central to the story. Denji from "Chainsaw Man" and Yuji Itadori from "Jujutsu Kaisen" are interesting characters with distinct personalities, facing challenges and developing throughout the series.
3. Magic Systems

Jujutsu Kaisen and Chainsaw man both revolve around a teenage boy who has been "cursed" and finds a purpose in which they must defeat other curses/devils. The main trios in each have a similar vibe (girlboss, emo that needs a cigarette, and loser [affectionately]). Both stories also start out pretty light-hearted and fun and then out of nowhere become quite intense. I'd suggest watching Jujustu Kaisen first and then watching Chainsaw Man if you enjoyed it. Chainsaw Man contains a lot of triggering themes (gore, assault, vomit, and so on), so if Jujustu Kaisen wasn't your cup of tea I really don't think watching Chainsaw

If you enjoyed "Jujutsu kaisen," then you will likely enjoy "Chainsaw Man." Both anime have genre elements of action and fantasy, as well as similar themes such as the struggle for power, betrayal, and a strong focus on strength and mastery of combat arts.
In "Chainsaw Man," there are also characters who possess supernatural abilities that they use in combat. Additionally, both anime have a strong emphasis on character development and their relationships, as well as emotional depth and empathy for the characters.
However, "Chainsaw Man" has its unique features, such as a greater emphasis on blood and violence, as well as a darker and more serious

Both fall into a community-made title called "the dark trio" as both shows tackle darker subjects. Both are action-packed, follow similar protagonists and have similar goals too. They're both crazy fun, and if you enjoy one of them, you'll enjoy the other.
