Review: Kaiju No. 8,my new favorite
As an anime fan who's always been drawn to stories about giant monsters and underdog heroes, Kaiju No. 8 instantly caught my eye. I’ve been following the manga for a while, so seeing it finally come to life in anime form felt like witnessing a long awaited dream unfold on screen.

The story centers around Kafka Hibino, a 32 year old man who works cleaning up kaiju(monsters) remains instead of fighting them, a far cry from his childhood dream of joining the Defense Force. His transformation into a kaiju himself, known as Kaiju No. 8, kicks off an intense, emotional, and surprisingly funny journey of self discovery and redemption.

One thing that truly stood out to me was the animation quality. The kaiju battles are explosive and beautifully animated, making every fight feel larger than life. The detailed designs of the kaiju are creative and terrifying in the best way, and the fluidity of the action scenes kept me glued to the screen.
But what really makes Kaiju No. 8 special for me is Kafka himself. Unlike many shonen protagonists who are young and idealistic, Kafka feels so relatable, he’s someone who gave up on his dreams, got stuck in an ordinary job, and yet still holds onto a quiet spark of hope. His late blooming heroism feels inspiring and almost comforting, especially for those of us who sometimes feel "too late" to chase big goals.

The supporting characters, especially Kikoru and Reno, add depth and balance with their own struggles and growth. There’s a strong sense of real human emotion under all the monster smashing chaos.
Overall, Kaiju No. 8 exceeded my expectations. It’s not just a flashy monster fighting anime; it’s a heartfelt story about second chances, resilience, and finding the courage to fight for your dreams no matter your age.
For anyone who loves a mix of action, humor, and heartfelt moments, I highly recommend giving this series a watch. It already feels like one of my new favorites and I can’t wait to see where Kafka’s journey goes next.

My wife watched this the other day. It was background noise to me while I browsed HIVE, but she seemed to enjoy it.
Ohh you need to watch it.
It ain't no background noise.
Trust me you'll enjoy it
All her anime is background noise to me :D She watches too much stuff about "Help, I was x, reincarnated as a y". I think she's almost through Crunchy Roll's entire catalogue at this point. 😅
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Reincarnation animes are quite good just that the same story is becoming a trend in so many animes
It's an amazing anime, really. I didn't think I would like it so much, but I really enjoyed it. I'm so excited for the next season 🌸🌸.
Really 🥺
Am glad

STOPI can't agree with these thoughts more. I love how uncommon Kafka is, how more relatable to our world's adults he seems, and yes, how it's never too late to pursue goals. I also like his age; most protagonists are under 20.
Yes,Kafka is different and unique
