\nIt’s been a good year for Godzilla fans: last year saw the arrival of Godzilla Minus One<\/strong>, the first Japanese live-action title since 2016’s Shin Godzilla, and the American produced Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire<\/strong> just released at the end of March. Whether you want something a bit more grounded or you just want to watch giant monsters bashing the hell out of each other, there’s something for everyone. But of course, you might want to keep that kaiju train rolling, and you’re looking for something new to bite into. Lucky for you, this anime season has a giant monster anime for you that seems well worth setting some time aside for: Kaiju No. 8<\/strong>.\n<\/p>\n

\nThe first episode of Kaiju No. 8, based on the manga of the same name, only dropped just last week, available on Crunchyroll on demand, and even on Twitter<\/a> (I mean, X) live when the episode airs for international audiences. Like all good kaiju media, Kaiju No. 8 focuses on the people first and foremost, but it specifically looks at the people that have to clean-up the dead remains of kaiju once they’ve been taken down. <\/p>\n

\nIt follows Kafka Hibino, a 32-year-old who wants to join a team called The Defence Force, a group of specially trained soldiers that take down kaiju, all because of a promise he made to a childhood friend. Only problem is, life didn’t turn out quite the way he had hoped, and he’s stuck dealing with sh*t-filled kaiju intestines instead (even if it is an important job that helps society). This being a manga\/ anime, though, there is of course a twist on the usual kaiju episode: for some reason, a small, winged, worm-like kaiju burrows itself into Kafka’s body, and he is transformed into a humanoid kaiju. Oops!\n<\/p>\n
