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.
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 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.
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!
