Fans of Kaiju No. 8 already knew that their favorite anime series was going to return this summer. They were still missing a specific release date, though, and that finally changed this weekend. The official Kaiju No.8 website and Crunchyroll confirmed that the show locked in a release date for the next month: Season 2 is debuting on July 19. The announcement comes on the heels of the worldwide release of the compilation movie Kaiju No.8: Mission Recon.

This is the release date for the series in Japan, but the Crunchyroll announcement suggests that the anime streaming platform will follow the same release pattern from Season 1, with episodes released simultaneously with the Japanese exhibition. However, the streamer is yet to officially confirm that this will be the case with the new episodes. Additionally, the Kaiju No. 8 website announced that Season 2 will also stream on X/Twitter at the same time that the episodes air in Japan.

Kaiju No. 8 fans who cant wait for the Season 2 premiere in 2025 will soon have something to help contain their excitement. The rising Shonen Jump anime action series is receiving an exclusive lineup of extraordinary apparel from one of the most respected brands in anime clothing.

Via an exclusive press release, Atsuko has announced its brand-new line of themed anime apparel. This collaboration between Kaiju No. 8 and Atsuko includes four distinct clothing items based on the hit Shonen Jump series: a Kaiju No. 8 Black Tee (Msrp: $40), a Kaiju No. 8 Sweater Vest (Msrp: $75), a Kaiju Defense Bomber Jacket (Msrp: $150) and Kaiju No. 8 Parachute Pants (Msrp: $90). Anime fans can purchase the clothing via the official Atsuko website.

Kaiju No. 8 is an anime series that caught me off guard. Based on the manga by Naoya Matsumoto, on the surface, the series looks like a gritty tale where Kaiju cause mass destruction. All of those elements are there, but with that comes a lot of humor, a lot of heart, and a surprising amount of encouragement for anyone who’s over the age of 30. "We consumed anime and various forms of Kaiju media growing up, and so seeing these characters sort of mirroring our own selves helps bring in a little bit of that extra pizazz,” says Nazeeh Tarsha, the English voice actor for Kaiju No. 8 protagonist Kafka Hibino.
