Watching this first glimpse of what would be a promising project for fans of Kaiju No. 8 who have been very well received after the anime adaptation of their successful original work (13,000,000 copies in circulation) in a broadcast that has exceeded expectations with an opening and ending performed by high caliber bands (YUNGBLUD and One Republic).

The story of Kaiju No. 8 introduces us to the life of Kafka Hibino, a 32-year-old man who lives in a somewhat unfortunate world where mythical creatures known as Kaijus, gigantic monsters reminiscent of Godzilla, exist. As there are such dangerous creatures, which appear from time to time, several squads were created that can repel and eradicate these threats, one of these being the “Monster Sweeper”, a squad responsible for cleaning the remains of exterminated Kaijus. This is where Kafka works, after so many years of trying to be part of the defense squad he gives up and stays as part of it.

After one of his jobs, Kafka Hibino and his partner end up in the hospital due to serious injuries in the middle of the battlefield, something that affects his life with little chance of continuing if it wasn’t for a lost kaiju. This small-looking flying being gets into Kafka’s mouth, causing them to merge, giving the 32-year-old the ability to become a Kaiju (Kaiju No. 8). Beginning the story of Kafka (reference) and his double life as a protector of the city in monster form.
