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.
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.
As a fan of the manga, when i heard the announcement about it's upcoming anime adaptation i was both excited but also nervous, as i knew the beautiful art from the manga would be very hard to animate well. However, from the first episode, the anime looks good, with great visuals and voice acting. I definetly would recommend this show to anyone who enjoys action anime or even kaiju stuff like Godzilla., but although it is amazing it is mostly very generic shonen but it does it well, and character development is not just focused on the main character like some other shows but broadens for many different characters which allows you to connect with them. I hope this anime continues to go well, with the manga still ongoing this could be a series that becomes massive for a while if it is adapted well. 9/10.
Wow FINALLY!! It's been a long time since I found an anime that really suits my type. From the characters, graphics, transitions, soundtrack everything really suits me. I already know this will be my new favorite anime. And definitely the best anime of 2024. This anime just really met my expectations and in fact I've been waiting for an anime like this to appear since I started liking anime all my life, as if the anime I imagined in my imagination was finally animated. I'm not joking, I really get goosebumps every time I watch every episode of Kaiju No. 8!! The soundtrack selection is soo great!! I actually expected the solo leveling anime to be this good, but unfortunately it wasn't enough and was very stiff. That's all thx.

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.
