As a seasoned anime enthusiast who has witnessed the rise and fall of countless series, I must say that Kaiju No. 8 has undoubtedly left an indelible mark on my watchlist. The blend of humor, action, and emotional depth is a testament to Production IG’s mastery over their craft.
Kaiju No. 8 burst onto streaming platforms earlier this year.
This animation is created by the esteemed studio Production IG, renowned for their work on Ghost in the Shell and Terminator: Dark Fate, and it boasts captivating opening and closing songs by artists YUNGBLUD and OneRepublic respectively.
As depicted in the series, following the character known as Kafka Hibino, the world portrayed is one plagued by rampaging titanic creatures, similar to Godzilla or those from Pacific Rim, causing havoc and disorder.
When might we encounter further turmoil? Here’s what we currently know about Kaiju No. 8 season 2.

Hibino dreams of battling monstrous creatures with the Japanese Anti-Kaiju Defense Force, but unfortunately, his reality is that of a cleaner, constantly handling tasks nobody else wants to take care of.
This all changes, however, when he accidentally ingests a parasite which makes him turn into the titular Kaiju No. 8.
Consequently, during the initial season, he attempts to balance his JAKDF application with concealing another aspect of his life.
