The successful manga Kaiju No. 8 will be entitled to its own anime adaptation. Release date, plot, first images and trailer: here’s everything you need to know about the series full of big monsters.
Kaijus have never been so fashionable: between Godzilla Minus One which was a real event release for the end of 2023, the Monarch: Legacy of Monsters series which invaded the small screens or even the next one (and a bit strange) Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire, big monsters often come back these days.
Very soon, the kaijus will also be entitled to a standard bearer on the anime side. The genre is not foreign to the medium, it’s true, but the adaptation which is preparing its release offers a fairly original plot: yes, humanity will have to fight the giants, but the giants in question also have a part of this humanity in their ranks.

Kaiju No. 8 Plot: What is the Anime About?
The anime Kaiju No. 8 will adapt the manga by Naoya Matsumoto. We are immersed in a world where attacks by giant monsters are commonplace, and have become part of the world’s own organization and economy.
Kafka Hibino always dreamed of joining the Defense Forces to face these titans, but kept failing the entrance exam. Resigned, he is content to clean the carcasses after the battle… until a bug takes hold in his system and transforms him into a special kaiju, the eighth of his type. He therefore becomes Kaiju number 8.
When is Kaiju No. 8 coming out?
Kaiju No. 8 will be released from April 13, 2024 on Crunchyroll. The announcement was made during the publication of a new trailer revealing more elements about the plot and its characters.
