The second season of “Kaiju No. 8” is about to premiere, and in anticipation, fans have a new opportunity to revisit the first season. This year, “Kaiju No. 8” enthusiasts are blessed with two releases. Alongside the highly anticipated second season of the hit anime produced by Production I.G, the initial season has been transformed into a recap film. Entitled “Kaiju No. 8: Mission Recon“, this movie was screened in theaters in April, and numerous fans eagerly attended to re-live Kafka’s adventure on the big screen. For those who couldn’t catch it initially, “Kaiju No. 8: Mission Recon” is now accessible on streaming platforms.
The second season of “Kaiju No. 8” is highly anticipated as one of the notable shonen releases this summer (excluding “Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle,” which will only be available in Japan this month). Production I.G. is back to animate the sequel of the popular anime, adapted from Naoya Matsumoto’s manga. The second season is set to premiere on Crunchyroll on July 19th, and ahead of its debut, the streaming platform has unveiled a significant surprise for fans.
Kaiju No. 8: Mission Recon is Now Streaming
If you’re wanting to get back into watching Kaiju No. 8, but find it hard to fit all 12 episodes of the first season into your schedule, then Crunchyroll has an easy solution for you. The movie titled Kaiju No. 8: Mission Recon is now available on Crunchyroll. This film conveniently summarizes the entire first season into a 120-minute feature, making it a perfect quick catch-up for busy viewers.
When “Mission Recon” hit the big screen, it was accompanied by a fresh Original Video Animation titled “Hoshina’s Day Off”. This light-hearted OVA delved into the life of Vice Captain Hoshina from the Kaiju Third Defence Force, as he took a well-deserved day off from base. However, his friends suspected something was amiss and trailed him throughout the day. “Hoshina’s Day Off” offers a refreshing respite from the high-octane action of “Kaiju No. 8”. The pace will undoubtedly pick up again when the new season commences. Currently, you can stream this OVA on Crunchyroll.
What to Expect From Kaiju No. 8 Season 2
Manga enthusiasts often carry an air of superiority, having a sneak peek into future events, while those who watch anime yearn to reunite with Kafka and the entire Third Defense Force for the upcoming season. The first season wrapped up with the Third Defense Force accepting Kafka after he disclosed his hidden kaiju abilities.
Keep a close eye on the Third Defense Force, given the arrival of one of the series’ strongest characters yet. Captain Gen Narumi, leader of the First Defense Force, will enter the fray for the upcoming season.
