    10/10

    This is my first-ever review on IMDb, I just couldn't stay silent after watching this episode. It was easily one of the best anime episodes I've seen all year-It had me on the edge of my seat from start to finish. The pacing and animation was flawless, and the Japanese voice acting was phenomenal, perfectly capturing every moment and heightening the intensity of each scene. Perfect ep.

    Holy cow what an episode!

    This was by far one of the most amazing and action packed Kaiju No.8 episode we had so far. If you reading this and haven't watched the other episode yet. Do yourself a favor and do so immediately you will not be disappointed. Do what you need to do to bench watch it this Sunday. I highly recommend this series.

    An Absolute Banger of an Episode!

    Damn, this episode was absolutely incredible! The animation quality was top-notch, every frame felt alive, and the fight sequences were so intense that I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. The pacing was perfect, blending heart-pounding action with moments that actually made me care about the characters even more. But of course... they just had to leave us hanging on a massive cliffhanger! I'm dying to know what happens next - honestly, they should just drop the next episode already instead of making us wait!

    I had to do this review

    It is my first review that i put out there.

    But i saw this episode and it was, just perfect.

    The story, the emotions and after all the cliffhager with this perfect outro.

    It was really just perfect.

    I really want to have good critic but.... i really think it was on point.

    Thank you for this anime, i never thought i would like an anime like this.

    But its my favourite for sure.

    Words Can't Describe The PEAK We've Witnessed

    A cliffhanger that leaves you struck! The Director goes from monitoring to being put in the Action! No. 9 will get awards for being the Ultimate Villain in 2026's CrunchyRoll Awards! My Goodness! We were not prepared for this! The Next episode will never so high blood pressure medicine! Great Job By The Animation Studio #WorthTheWait.
