The number of episodes for Kaiju No. 8 Season 2 has been disclosed after its premiere, and unfortunately, it appears that there will be fewer episodes compared to the first season of the show. Kaiju No. 8 is the last of the major blockbuster franchises eagerly anticipated by fans as part of the new wave of anime airing during the Summer 2025 schedule. Given the significant impact the initial season made when it was released last year, the second season has a high standard to meet.
The second season of “Kaiju No. 8” made its debut over the weekend, and coincidentally, it happened simultaneously with the final installment of Naoya Matumoto’s original “Kaiju No. 8” manga series. This past weekend has brought a mix of excitement and sadness for fans of the franchise, as they celebrate both the start of something new and the end of an old storyline. With only 11 episodes left in its summer schedule, it seems that the excitement will continue for “Kaiju No. 8” season 2 viewers.
Kaiju No. 8 Season 2 Confirms Episode Count Following Premiere
The update from the official website for Kaiju No. 8 Season 2 indicates that it will consist of only eleven episodes, distributed over four Blu-ray and DVD volumes in Japan. Compared to the first season, this is one episode fewer. This reduction is likely due to additional content released since then, such as the theatrical film “Kaiju No. 8: Mission Recon” that was released earlier this year and is now available for streaming on Crunchyroll. Additionally, there’s a special set between the events of the two seasons of the TV anime.
“Hoshina’s Day Off” – A Spin-off Episode Unveiling a Fresh Tale in the Anime Universe of Soshiro Hoshina and the Japan Anti-Kaiju Defense Force, offering a delightful glimpse into what’s to come in Season 2. However, it appears that this standalone episode won’t be incorporated into the 11 episodes planned for Season 2, which might disappoint some fans as it reduces the overall count of episodes for this season.
How to Watch Kaiju No. 8 Season 2
The second season of “Kaiju No. 8” is currently airing, as part of the Summer 2025 anime lineup. Although it has a shorter run, it’s still a must-watch anime for fans. You can stream it on both X and Crunchyroll, simultaneously with its Japan premieres. The audio is available in both Japanese and English dubbed versions. Additionally, don’t forget to check out “Kaiju No. 8: Mission Recon”, the special episode titled “Hoshina’s Day Off”, as well as the full first season, all of which are streaming on Crunchyroll.
The original manga of Kaiju No. 8 has concluded after 129 chapters, and now you can read the entire series through Viz Media’s digital Shonen Jump library or Shueisha’s MangaPlus service, requiring a paid subscription. Alternatively, you can access the final chapter for free on its own as well.
