201. Kaiju No. 8 (S1)

Published: Aug. 23, 2024, 1:23 a.m.

We review the first season of Kaiju No. 8. This series definitely makes a monster-sized mark, with its unique kaiju premise and its acknowledgement of millennials who are just trying to do their best - though we can\u2019t help but feel that Kafka\u2019s story bears a few similarities to another \u201cTitan\u201d-sized anime. We discuss the show\u2019s commendable focus on its characters over its kaiju, the issues regarding its visual style, and how exactly OneRepublic got thrown into the mix.
