As a long time Kn8 manga reader, I appreciate how you didn't spoil a particular villain for people. This was so well written too. Great video!

[@ryanchristenson1059]

That villian is damn terrifying and I’m so excited to see their entrance, that’s honestly the moment k8 shows how good it’s going to be and is

[@VainFriggus]

Spoil it for me

[@invinciblebeast1915]

@@VainFriggus Kaiju No 9 is a Kaiju that had previously blended in with humans (it eats humans and then transforms into their shape) because it can also talk in the human language. It has been planning an attack for a long time and then the MC Kafka (aka Kaiju No 8) appeared outta no where and almost killed it. A series of events happen and Kaiju No 9 then kills the Director General (the father of the girl who could use 46% like the video said) then takes and uses his body as the final villain, creates Daikaiju that are specifically opposites to Platoon and Division Leaders and then wages war.

[@vailingbow1068]

1 mistake is saying Isao is the 6th division commander XD prolly meant 6th 1st division commander.

[@vailingbow1068]

@@ryanchristenson1059 It's only scary after it gets its buff imo. Otherwise nah.

[@ManA-Level]

Coming in blind into the anime, the ending of the episode 1 is surprising & got me hooked. Excited for it.

[@justingabriel1765]

I bought the first volume like a couple days ago of Kaiju No8 because I wanted to see it, and I wanted to see if I liked it, and bro I’m already hooked

[@jaredevers6459]

Also you’re not too late to the manga, we’re still waiting for the English dub of the last 2 volumes to be released

[@justingabriel1765]

@@jaredevers6459 oh I know, I’ll probably get the rest of it anyway to support and stuff but I got a lot of first volumes of stuff just to check them out, and yeah KN8 was the first one I read when I got home, read it in like 20 minutes and now I’m mad I didn’t grab any more lol 😂

Question... will Kaiju no. 8 always maintain a secret identity like Spiderman or will the people be accepting and know his identity??

Super excited for this! I've been seeing it listed as an upcoming anime and I knew nothing about it. Now I'm psyched to read the manga as well. Thanks for the video!

[@klokcotizao224433199]

I didn't know about Kaiju No 8, but now I couldn't be more excited about it! Great content!

[@KingStratzah]

I saw this book in almost every book store I passed through in Japan. The art caught my eye every time but I never looked into it.

[@rhovenom04]

On episode 4 now. I like the setting. Characters are using futuristic guns. Feels like cyberpunk.

[@matthewshelton8307]

This setting is giving me massive AOT vibes in the most surface level way. Now I'm just waiting to find out that all the # kaiju are actually people.

[@kenichidc]

And that’s not a bad thing. It’s genuinely so exciting and I love the work building! Can’t wait for new episodes

[@dantens2010]

You did one of these for hells paradise and it led to me finishing the manga after the anime. So hopefully I find time for kaiju

[@starkadonis629]

@6:06 (I was literally correcting how you were saying it right before you said something 😂😂😂) Also, I appreciate the vid, I been thinking of starting this manga. I'm probably gonna start reading today🙏🏼

[@Nohoezoe]

Homie called them main antagonist multiple times 😂

[@ShakerPapi]

Kafka is just so relatable. Been reading since it dropped and loved it. Underrated and I can’t wait for the anime.

[@Dramanas]

before I even watched the video: ARE YOU F*CKING SERIOUS?! HOW DID I GET TURNED ON THIS BEFORE YOU?!?! *thumbs up*

[@eh9618]

Honestly this feels like a mix of multiple Tokusatsu series into a manga turned anime. Kaiju/alien latching into a human host to fight kaiju? Ultraman, transforming superhero? Henshin hero, such as ultraman and kamen rider, kaiju attack team? Ultraman

[@dannytarver4533]

I'm already pulling all my copies of all(plus Guyver and Karas)off the shelf to watch

[@Aslavetofreedom]

Been loving it so far and the opening and ending oh my god I’m not even a ending type of person but I listen to both like 3 times I watch a episode

[@Spaniard727]

Great explanation! Only thing I’m not sure I agree with is Mina being the love interest of Kafka. I’m only on my first read so maybe on a re-read I might catch that but I’ve only seen them as childhood friends with a strong bond

[@bechillin1234]

Uh....isn't Mina his sister?

[@Grims-Arc]

It's plot structured is kindaa like Attack on Titan and Seraph of the End made a baby. Which i both like. But even then Kaiju no.8 so far tho, is making it's own way to stand out and i find that really amazing. Characters are memorable, the character designs are great, the Animation's great too. I'll see how far this turns out to be.

[@elCONQUEROR81]

I have fun reading this. Wish the chapters were more productive but all in all the concept is dope

[@anonymoustroll2432]

Does it worth the time to watch it? Im already taking a break from finishing Frieren Beyond the Journey End.

[@aishbisharts._4667]

I read kaiju no 8 a few years back and it is one of my all time favourites. Seeing this video on my home page made me feak out A LOT.

[@meloveAi]

An easier way to remember Honju and Yoju, if you have played Final Fantasy 10, Sin is a Honju while the Sinscales and Sinspawn are its Yoju. Though the Sinspawn are like Honju level on their own.

[@thorkelleon]

I love this manga, I picked it up randomly one day and fell in love when reading it.

[@RinnMakesMusic]

So excited for this shit. I started reading about a month ago bc the show was announced and everyone said good things. I’m fully caught up now and READY.

[@enfieldjohn101]

Sounds like a clever idea for a book series and anime. Something of a different twist on the mecha genre. Sounds like an I.P. that would work well in a minis-based strategy game like Mechwarrior. Very helpful video!

[@ykw7406]

Kaiju no 8 is out and its freaking amazing

[@connorb1775]

I wanted to come back to this video to thank you as this video prompted me to watch the Kaiju no. 8 anime, and I have loved every single episode of it thus far I have seen from your short video that you aren't a fan of the animation style, but I like it. Might be due to the fact I started the anime without reading the manga. I might read the manga once the current season of the anime is complete.

[@wolfking912]

I’m definitely gonna check this one out. I’m also excited for windbreaker.

[@perezjos002]

Just watched the first episode, and Nick, like usual, was right. It was so good I already want more!

[@inkslingerdrew]

[@blindbananabandit2039]

Kaiju no 8 is the first manga I started as it started, pretty much everything else I've read were completed stories or ones that were already in chapter 200+ (I'm looking at you one piece!) So Kaiju holds a special place in my heart, and I'm so excited to share this story in animated form with new people.

[@ShakerPapi]

This and Black Clover for me.

[@mdtaj7563]

I've been reading this and frieren for 3 years. I was blown away by how freaking good frieren anime was. The manga was already 10/10 for me after 100+ chapters but anime doesn't even get there and it's still great. Kaiju no 8 first episode looks promising and I'm very excited for the next episode.
