Kaiju No. 8

Kaiju No. 8 is very far from an original story, it has countless narrative elements used in dozen of other anime's, the plot is somehow predictable, however, with all this being said it's still manages to be engaging.

I believe the characters as well as the light humor drive the show forward, as mentioned the story is nothing new, it seems to draw elements from recent anime's like Jujutsu Kaizen, Attack on Titan, even Haikyuu to an extent, but the dynamic of the Defense Force in the series has some really funny and inspiring moments.

You can easily binge it given this first season is not so long, and you will for sure have a great time, as long as you go with the right expectations.

There isn't much to add, it's a solid anime, with solid story, good chemistry between the characters and great looking fights!

A city endangered by monsters and a squade of heros defend that city, old repeated idea but the execution is very heartful, this and any other idea in the anime that seem repeated, its just done not only differently but in a very heart-warming and human way , every character has its motives , every character act from self appreciation before the appreciation of others which is there but in its place , every character needs to fulfill its needs and in the same time protect the others , the protagonist isn't the only hero like some other boring animes , there are plenty of heros each one from a different perspective , the action is great well prepared and clear to the eye not just fast movements and there is explanation for every fast or weird move up till now , and most important point is it doesn't need you to give it a shoot for 2 or 3 episodes to amuse you , it's very entertaing from the very beginning.

This series expertly blends action, comedy, and sarcasm, reminiscent of "Attack on Titan" yet with its unique charm. The animation is top-notch, immersing viewers in its world. The storyline grips you from the start, promising an enthralling journey ahead. Character development shows early potential, while the seamless transitions between intense battles and light-hearted moments highlight the show's storytelling prowess. Discovering a series that excels in so many aspects is a true delight! It's a must-watch for any anime enthusiast, offering an unforgettable experience that keeps viewers eagerly anticipating each new episode.

Ive been hooked from the first episode that I even started reading the manga because of how much I fell in love with the story and characters. The anime Is faithful to the manga and they also have added extra scenes to the anime that the manga didn't have. The english dub voice actors have done such a great job at portraying the characters that I prefer to watch it over the sub version. The sound track is amazing and very on par with the shows vibe. The story feels familiar yet is unique and original to the Kaiju genre. I can't wait for the rest of the episodes to come out because from what Ive read so far we have something really special in store for us in the first season!

Kaiju no.8 is really good. The action is really good and i like all the characters in the cast. The mystery around the kaiju is really well though out and i'm confident what reveal comes next is going to be well pulled off. Kaiju no.9 is really intersting and I'm interseted what happens with him. Same thing with Mina, i want to see more of her backstory. This anime is another darker, more serious shonen like Attack on titan. This isn't as bloody and the themes are more grounded but it is still really good. Truly The best anime this season and if you want a good, hype shonen you should watch it.
