This anime man.... It's really about the mc, more than it is about Kailju. Mc is a well written, likable character and you can't help but get caught up in his ups and downs. You feel for when he experiences hopelessness and despair, but his hope and heart are just infectious as he does his best to live his dream of joining the defense force. When the kaijus are up and the chips are down, and Hibino gives it his all...all I can do is smi-cry. The comedy and timing are fantastic, as is the choreography of the score in the climactic scenes. Everything comes together and builds towards great feel-good moments as Hibino fights his hardest every step of the way to pursue and fulfill his dreams of glory within the defense force.
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!

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.
I'm into all the latest elite peak anime we've been blessed with from the....
( jjk,dbs,mha,ds,Op,Boruto,OPM, and more Ofcourse etc!!
This one through everything makes me feel inspired ! Like a smile stretches across my face and I'm feeling truly happy for these ppl and the moral goodness you can see straight away like the beginning of true heroes ah man idk I just really feel inspired by this story I'm ahead in the Manga but man, this beginning so far has been so joyful that knowing what's to come makes this so much more appreciable !!!
Sometimes beginnings are hard, there's the problem of cliche and maybe slight boredom but I'm just really impressed by the animation each ep has and knowing it's only up from here has me gitty!
Enjoy we're on an elite ride of anime what a time !
