Kaiju No. 8

Amazing adaption to the manga. It has everything you could want in an anime show and everything you were expecting if you read the manga. The voice acting is amazing. The visuals and animation would be very hard to make an adaption to but they did an amazing job. The show is exactly how I would expect a kaiju based show to be. However it is not unique for a shonen show and does not stand out from a lot of other plots. Some many find the show tedious because there is a lot of talking and could use a bit more focus on the main character but, as I have read the manga, I know where it is going to go and believe this is a perfect adaption. The character development is very good. I recommend this for every anime fan interested in more fighting based shows. 10/10.

Kaiju No. 8 isn't revolutionary, but it knows what it's doing. The story is easy to follow and well-paced, with clear Attack on Titan and One Punch Man influences - yet it still stands on its own. The animation style is simple but effective, and the humor adds a nice balance to the action.

What stood out most were the characters - the Third Division feels like a real team, and each member is likable in their own way. The world might not feel totally realistic (especially with the over-the-top kaiju destruction), but the series embraces its tone and keeps things exciting.

I'm definitely looking forward to Season 2.

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.

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!
