As a seasoned anime enthusiast with over two decades of experience under my belt, I must say that the announcement of Kaiju No. 8 Season 2 and the upcoming movie has me utterly thrilled! The key visual for “Hoshina’s Day Off” is a delightful surprise, giving a master swordsman like Hoshina Soshiro his well-deserved moment in the spotlight.
Kaiju No. 8 is about Kafka Habino, a 32-year-old employee who removes kaijus from society, dreaming of joining the Japanese Anti-Kaiju Defense Force. Released in April, Season 1 shows Kafka’s pursuit to fight alongside his old friend Ashiro Mina, now the commander of the Third Division. However, his ambition is disrupted when he inexplicably turns into a kaiju himself. In August 2024, it was revealed that Kaiju No. 8 Season 2 would air in 2025, along with a cinematic release of The Kaiju No. 8 Movie, a combination of the first season including an exclusive episode. Recently, viewers have been given sneak peeks of Hoshina Soshiro, the talented deputy commander of the Third Division.
It’s been confirmed that Kaiju No. 8 will come back for its second season in August 2024. Not only that, but there’s also going to be a cinema release of the first season. A collection of episodes from the initial run, including a brand-new special titled “Hoshina’s Day Off,” is scheduled to hit theaters on March 28th, 2025.

Kaiju No. 8 “Hoshina’s Day Off” Key Visual Teases New Adventure
On November 21, 2024, the promotional artwork for the movie “Kaiju No. 8” was revealed. The artwork heavily focuses on Kafka, blending his human and kaiju forms in a torn and intersecting image. In the lower-left corner, Hoshina is present, smiling alongside Ichikawa Reno and Furuhashi Iharu, characters from the Third Division who were moved to the Fourth Division at the end of season one.
Nevertheless, it wouldn’t be suitable for a master swordsman such as Hoshina Soshiro, who warrants attention, to occupy a corner position. Fortunately, this idea appears to have been considered, with the unveiling of a new key visual highlighting the upcoming special episode dedicated to Hoshina.
Information about the upcoming episode of “Kaiju No. 8” was shared on its official Twitter account: “After spending such a long time training, Reno has forgotten how to relax during his free time. However, when he notices Hoshina is up to something, he teams up with Iharu to follow him!” This slice-of-life episode appears to offer a pleasant shift from the intense action sequences fans have grown accustomed to. Fans seem thrilled at the prospect of witnessing the diligent vice-captain of the Third Division in a more casual and humorous scenario.
The film adaptation of “Kaiju No. 8” is set to debut on March 28th, 2025, playing for a duration of three weeks in a total of 32 cinemas throughout Japan.
