With the initial premieres of the big anime shows now underway through July, it’s high time for thrilling journeys to begin as each series gears up for more action. The much-awaited return of Kaiju No. 8 for its second season was the grand finale among the anticipated summer premieres.

The second season of “Kaiju No. 8” started airing this summer, with the first episode delving deeper into Kafka Hibino’s storyline as we move forward. Now that his trajectory for the future has been established, it’s time for the second episode to introduce its fresh opening theme, “You Can’t Run From Yourself” by AURORA, and a new closing theme called “Beautiful Colors” by OneRepublic. You can listen to the uncredited versions of the new “Kaiju No. 8” theme songs below.

How to Watch Kaiju No. 8 Season 2

The second season of “Kaiju No. 8” began airing this summer, and viewers can watch the latest episodes weekly on both X and Crunchyroll. For those who want to refresh their memory about the first season of the anime, they can do so on Crunchyroll, including the special episode “Hoshina’s Day Off,” which was released in between seasons, as well as the “Kaiju No. 8: Mission Recon” compilation movie that premiered in theaters earlier this year. So there’s plenty of content to catch up on before the new episodes continue!

Regarding the duration of the upcoming season of “Kaiju No. 8”, it’s currently scheduled for 11 episodes, excluding the “Hoshina’s Day Off” special. This means it will have one fewer episode than the first season, which might be disappointing to fans eagerly anticipating more episodes this year. Nevertheless, the series is hinting at some significant developments, as evidenced by the visuals in the new opening theme sequence, where Kaiju No. 9 appears to pose a substantial threat.

What’s New for Kaiju No. 8 Season 2?

In the second season of “Kaiju No. 8,” we see a return of the original production team and voice actors from the first season. Shigeyuki Miya and Tomomi Tamiya are back to direct the series, with Production I.G. and Studio Khara taking charge of the Kaiju designs. Tetsuya Nishio is responsible for the character designs, while Yuta Bando handles the music composition. Notable new cast members for the upcoming episodes include Koki Uchiyama as Gen Narumi, Hiroki Yasumoto as Eiji Hasegawa, Kana Hanazawa as Rin Shinonome, and Kotono Mitsuishi as Hikaru Shinomiya.

Last year, “Kaiju No. 8” was among the largest premieres in the anime world, airing simultaneously on Crunchyroll and social media platform X. So far in 2023, the second season has been one of the most eagerly awaited releases. The first episode has already established a high standard for the rest of the season. Since Naoya Matsumoto’s original “Kaiju No. 8” manga has concluded, this anime is likely to receive more attention on its new season than ever before.
