@@dear__nanaaaa Have you seen how people in their early 30s behave?

@@AJ__525 EXACTLY, a 32 year old is old compared to a 22 year old, sure but in comparison to someone who's 42 or 52, 32 really is still young. Even people in their 20s can be very mature despite the typical assumption is that all people in their 20s are loud and energetic.
@@Kaiju-bm4ts the problem with that is.. It could have been more... There was a better way of showcasing his personality.. Now his perosnality is about the same as 15 other shonen jump protagonist.. When they even had the ground work's to make it more intreasting
I mean....the kaiju community mostly doesn't even know of this manga, let alone SSSS gridman and dynazenon as a bonus. Anime and the kaiju community don't entirely mix which is why you don't have alot of anime fans in the kaiju community
Honestly, simplicity is what kaiju stories were made for, y'know, humans use insane levels or amounts of technology to defend against unexplainable monster outbursts, always cool, always simple.
Yet people who don't know much about the kaiju genre aren't gonna know ALL stories that involve kaiju are simple and don't try to be complexc and the times they are complex they're not good half the time.
@@Kaiju-bm4ts What the fuck are you talking about. The Kaiju genre was basically specifically created to express complex ideas to avoid US military censorship. What kind of Kaiju fan are you? Ultraman, Gridman, Godzilla, Kamen Rider, Evangelion, and etc.
Personally for me, Kaiju No. 8's anime is currently my most anticipated anime, and it will probably stay like this until it comes out. I know and understand that the story is a bit simple, but it is doing some unique things and as the story goes on we can expect it to get better, at least for what it is trying to do. I don't want to compare series with each other but Demon Slayer isn't the most complex story either but with it's adaptation it became really really popular and successful (absolutely no offense to Demon Slayer). I can see Kaiju No. 8 translating into an anime really well. A good adaptation can add so much here. I hope that it being under TOHO is a good thing. I can't wait for more info for the anime and the anime itself.
@@Flash-FireCC I hope too. I'm really curious about the studio. The bigger ones are kinda busy right now so I wonder which one will it be. Whichever it is I hope they bring us a nice adaptation :D
Try telling that to the fanatics that always want complexity and deepness to their stories and forget simplicity and complexity both equally coexist in fiction and writing.......
Kaiju no.8 in all honesty has complexity in it, the complexity is just hidden underneath it's own simple surface. On top of that the past of MANY of the characters haven't been revealed yet. We are nearly 100 chapters in and we still haven't seen kafka's past outside of some brief flashbacks of him as a kid. People (or more less English speaking fans) are too quick to hate on the manga for it's simplicity when simplicity and complexity are 2 common things that all media cover including in America so the overwhelming need for complexity in every existing story is just a result of having high standards. However another thing I find odd is how people will say *"Kafka is like every other protagonist"* yet most protagonist don't get introduced in their later lives after they tried to accomplish their goal and failed at it many times. Right out the gate his introduction isn't "typical" by any means and his entire persona is the representation of *"You're never too old to follow your dreams"* which is a quote I know many people have heard of. Having your whole life ahead to accomplish your goal is much different in comparison to your younger years being behind you but you're still working for your goal regardless.
@@Kaiju-bm4ts *actually* it was explained chapter 4 that she was their youngest ever and I quote “the one they’ve got their eyes on…accepted into California neutralization university at age 16 she is the youngest valedictorian graduate…” and she’s 17 as you said. So except for 1 the rest are 18 and up
the one guy who has crazy eyes and can see the vital parts of the kaijus damn, he gives off Top DOG Master vibes Gojo, Kakashi, (name any leader figure that can destroy/ dominate an enemy) pretty cool stuff
I just reading it and I’m already almost 30 chapters in, I really like the design of the characters, especially the main character when he’s in his kaiju form, it looks cool as fuck
Is it weird that I literally read the first chapter the day it came out I was a little bored cos it smells like a regular dystopia manga Has the shounen vibe Mc- daydreaming wonder dude with childlike justice trope Female lead - sasuke + Levi literally Team 7 - as usual, even have their own sakura who isn't useless Villains are the usual monster vs human vibes Old man sensei- this one lacked the emotional strings, nothing like jiraiya but they still have one However the manga quality, transformations, fights and character arcs are 👌👌
i like both complex and simple. I liked JJK because it was the first anime to not have standard shonen tropes i watched but recently got done watching up to season 3 of demon slayer which i like because of the visuals.
If they shaped the story up like pacific rim like there this slim race trying to invade there land it whould solve the peoples of having a more meaningful story per say
When you have shows like the Dark Trio, which seem to be obsessed with "breaking the mold" or "subverting expectations", and shows that aren't like Black Clover and MHA reaching their end, a simple new story like Kaiju No. 8 is a breath of fresh air.
I think I'd like it if this started a new genre trend. The Kaiju trend. I know isekai isn't going anywhere anytime soon, but having something like a kaiju trend could be a nice change of pace.
The kaiju genre has already been releasing anime since 2017 so the trend kinda already started, plus godzilla had manga adaptations of his movies since 1954 so there are alot of kaiju manga. Only thing is this is the first and only one to reach a mainstream audience that didn't comprise of kaiju fans only. The only way this manga would of done anything new is if it aimed to be like chainsaw man or one punch man for example and stray away from some usual shonen tropes. However the manga still works within the context it's in.
I like kaijuu #8 exactly for its simplicity. It allows its characters to pop and me to get invested in their stories. I dont need everything to be original or thought provoking. I dont remember a bigger let down in my manga journey than Shingeki No Kyojin and people praised the sh*t out it for its originality yet now that I think about it there were less than 5 characters in that story that got me caring and by the end of it, the protagonist wasnt even one of them so what should I do with its ingenuity if I dont even care by the end of the story? Its not me hating on SnK, I followed that manga for the longest tims, I just use this because people hate on other works for being simple. Simple is fine, simple works, simple gives room for growth and I personally have high hopes for this one and I find many aspects of the story quite new too, despite similarities with other works, I think the take is quite different
oh man, if you want to binge it it's a great to do so (that's never a thing I look forward to) but, I really enjoy it the backstories are pretty cool too
I love #9 as a villain so much, I thought he was gonna be discarded early on as an early villain, yet he has risen to the top of the world, love it If he eventually brings a discussion and debate agaisnt Kafka, he might just stand in the top 10’s of new gen
I started reading this like a week ago and Kaiju no.8 is so damn good in design and action but it definitely is generic with it's "I have to protect my friends from sadness 😢✊" but that just makes it a great starter anime
People who arent tokusatsu would never understand how hard the editor obviously flipped the script for mainstream. The story was very intentionally leading up to an Ultraman like plot where he would get insane powers, people wouldn't know if they should trust him (ultraman) , he would struggle and doubting if he is human anymore (kamen rider), but still fighting in secret to help the defense force. Then he just becomes any other shonen man and yells and punches things really hard, head empty.
I'm really excited for this considering i love the kaiju universe or topic i hope that it has like a good lore behind it like Godzilla existing inside the anime
A lot of shows now try to be complex for the sake of being complex, disregarding whether or not that actually makes it good. I think KN8 has some time to grow but it’s actually a breath of fresh air to me. The characters are likable!!! What a novel concept! I find the manga so far moving a bit fast and it’s heavy on the action. But I still appreciate what it does. Not every story needs to be perfect
I love the Manga I just got the 4th Book and I gotta say it’s a lot better than I expected I didn’t expect a lot form something about Kaiju Mangas But this took me by Surprise There are great Characters Great Fight but my overall favorite par to the Manga is the Random Comedy that comes from nowhere It’s a great Story and I recommend to Anyone wether your never Read Manga or you Only Read Manga
I dropped the manga at ch60 or around there. It was simple, but my problem lies more with the upload schedule for chapters as well as how every chapter was so predictable around this point. The humor stopped hitting, characters seemed to only exist for the creation of sentimental moments or badass power ups. It all just felt forced. With the release of the anime, I’m going back to give it another try, so wish me luck!
The more you read, the more it becomes complex even if it’s at a low pace, like why did the dragonfly say to kafka “found you” does it mean he was searching for him if so, why
THIS ANIME IS GOOD. I’m going on all the popular shorts to say this is a good ass anime. Just watch and get your own opinions. We gotta keep this one live.
Some manga/anime are showing the complicated things that make people hype but in the long run become a bland or generic but i like the kaiju it show simplicity at first and it will gradually become complex like the main antagonist real motive where they come from this will make the people more interested
absolutely love it i read the entire manga in 2 and a half days. and it might just be me, but i think the end is a litle bit too fast paced compared to the earlier parts of the manga. almost as if it is being rushed.
I think almost perfect is what anything should strive for, perfection isn't as possible as people assume. Almost perfect is the best anything can do as even the best manga/anime aren't even perfect/
I like it so far sure its a pretty basic overall but i still think its a lot better then a lot of the other newer stuff rn its good so far and has potential definitely looking foward to reading the manga til more episodes come out.
It’s a bit by numbers, tho mc a being 30 something could have been utilised way more/his struggles against his age etc. Main villain also doesn’t have a personality at all so that doesn’t help
I feel like there are some things in this setting that I wished were expanded on like the age and experiences of the protagonist, but I knew going in that it’d just be another shounen action series at its core. Then it reached a point almost too quickly where it had too many characters with too many arcs to be resolved all within the same larger arc so the pacing became one of the less than stellar examples of the genre.
My problem with it is how little it plays into its kaiju aspect. Sure, the kaiju themselves are big, but Kafka really just... isn't. His kaiju form is human size, and when I think "kaiju battle manga" my mind jumps to two oversized titans slugging each other with lots of impact and weight. This is not what Kaiju no. 8 accomplishes unfortunately, and so for me it's just another generic battle manga. Even Kafka as a character still feels like "young shonen protag" number 264. His introduction as a thirty-something sap working a shitty job was so cool, and then they underplay this aspect immediately as soon as he gets his powers. Really sucks. That said, action and art are heat. Now, remind me to keep these criticisms in mind for if I ever talk about this series. LOL
Kaiju no.8 isn't your typical kaiju content, it doesn't use kaiju in the same fashion godzilla does, saying it's another generic manga all because it uses the concept of kaiju in a different way (which the kaiju genre has done MULTIPLE times in the past decades) is a bit contradictory when the genre has always experimented with the concept of kaijus. Ultraman was literally human sized before and he too had always been traditionally big, the term kaiju and daikaiju literally mean strange beast and large strange beast, that doesn't always apply to godzilla or anything of that field given how vague the terms beast or monster are. Those 2 terms can refer to anything, even humans based off appearance or behavior. Even Clifford the big red dog is a kaiju by default Kafka had a goal and he wasn't going to stay at his dead end job forever, his character is a literal representation of the quote *"'You're never too old to follow your dreams"* so the whole "he's just another shounen protagonist" doesn't work here. So what was he supposed to do? Be half human, half kaiju and continue working for a job he didn't want? All because his introduction was good? There is more to a character than what their introduction shows them. A typical shounen protagonist wouldn't be old, they would be young and still have their entire life ahead of them to accomplish their goal. Here kafka is way over his younger years and has tried to accomplish his goal as a human many times and failed, that is why his introduction is the way it is. Him as a kaiju, a older man and yet he still accomplishes his dream regardless of those challenges. If you're gonna criticize this manga, try to have better understanding of how diverse the term kaiju is, it's not limited to giant creatures fighting
@@Kaiju-bm4ts Still, what I'm saying is we have a critical lack of giant kaiju clashes in manga right now. This series had the perfect opportunity for that and didn't explore it as much. I still think Kaiju No. 8 is excellent otherwise, but I find it problematic in that it just does nothing to stand out from other battle shonen. I don't think you understood what I said about how I expected that, and it just didn't happen. Kaiju are diverse across Japanese media, but come on we missed out on something potentially awesome here. As for Kafka, no, he didn't have to stay at his dead end job. But at the very least show his struggles as an older man a bit more. The series honed in WAY TOO hard on his kaiju form over anything else. To me, this series does nothing to stand out from the crowd, and while I think it is better than most, a little distinction might help. Simple, good, but we need a little more to help it stand out. Kaiju are high up with Japanese culture, so I really feel like more could have been done here. The monster designs are already INCREDIBLE so I really do expect even better things to come especially with this recent arc.
@@aketsuuu Again the series wasn't going for that and likely never will go for that, battle shounen literally copy each other all the time so what difference does it make?. The one thing that makes it stick out is that it has kaiju in it and a adult protagonist. Those 2 aspects alone makes it stand out to a extent. This isn't chainsaw man where it's reinventing the wheel or trying to reach a high bar. You're saying kaiju are diverse but still insist for them to be big and huge here?, that's not something I would call "diverse". You still got gamera, you still godzilla, you still gridman. There's other medias that are giving you your fix on big daikaiju so why must this series do the same when it already works within the context it has?. While the idea of giant kaiju fighting each other is cool, the kaiju genre is always experimenting with itself and this is another example of it. Kaiju no.8 will stand out once the anime gets more publicity which is literally how MOST manga get attention if they don't get alot of attention in America as it is. Meanwhile in Europe and Japan this manga gets twice the amount of attention, so much so you see buildings and trains in Europe with kaiju no.8 on them. The kaiju genre is niche worldwide especially in the west so it's not gonna stick out especially as a manga over here compares to Europe or Japan. Once anime comes out you'll get the attention this manga needs.
@@Kaiju-bm4tsIt still doesn't feel like an experimentation... I guess the villains so far have been and the idea of Number weapons is cool, but again, with an idea like kaiju, which are rarely explored in the manga medium, I expected more. I'm okay with experimentation, but we lack those sick giant monster battles on the page, and that's all I want. Kaiju No. 8 accomplishes almost nothing unique, and like cool... it's doing two things to distinguish itself, but when you've read over 100 battle shonen, you get tired of the way it's written. I'll adore stuff like JJK because its battles are so well done and I really do enjoy them, but Kaiju No. 8 is... well, I'm not even really sure how to describe it. The action is solid, but that's it. The story is serviceable and has solid moments, but that's it. Kaiju No. 8 to me is the definition of missed potential. There were loads of different angles they could have took with the kaiju direction, and they chose the fucking generic main character transformation with villains that we've seen before time and again approach. Why not do something like the titan forms from AoT, where Kafka basically becomes like a pilot for a kaiju body? I know it sounds dumb, but it's an idea.
@@aketsuuu Okay why are you replying after 2 months 😑........also let me point out the contradictory in your comment To quote you real quickl *"When you've read over 100 battle shonen, you get tired of the way it's written"* yet you're a kaiju fan who's seen the same kaiju tropes being used over and over again and wanted to see that used again in this manga but simultaneously is tired of seeing the typical battle shonen style of storytelling? Kinda contradictory right? You can't say you want this overused trope but say you hate this other overused trope and acknowledge the story distinguishing itself for doing this trope differently but say it's not unique for using this other trope in same typical way. You're essentially implying shonen can't reuse tropes in the same fashion but the kaiju genre can?. Don't say you expected more and yet contradict yourself by revealing you wanted the same usual kaiju stuff. Comparing this to jjk doesn't even make sense when jjk is closer to chainsaw man or demon slayer when all 3 have demons.....not kaiju 🙄.....you're just making a unfair bias comparison between 2 irrelevant shonens with 2 completely different creatures to defend your double standards. Demon battles have no definitive way of how they're handled when they're handled in different ways same way kaiju battles are also handled in different ways.... And bringing up aot is a hilarious comparison when kafka and eren are both kaijin at the end of the day my guy 🤣, kaijin are creatures with kaiju like attributes. Whether those attributes are size or appearance or power. Kafka simply has the appearance and power of a kaiju. Eren just has the size but still looks like a human even in titan form. Don't say kaiju no.8 is missed potential for reusing shonen tropes but you want it to be the same typical kaiju content we seen millions of times in the kaiju genre 🙄. If you know the idea is dumb then why use it as a example? Kaiju aren't just big and that isn't what defines them as a whole. Kafka is closer to a legitimate kaiju when he looks the part and has the powers to back it up. Eren just has size and that's it. If you think the story is solid along with the action then how is it missed potential?. It can't be missed potential if you want it to do this form of tropes but ignore this other form tropes. It will still be reusing typical tropes on either end which contradicts your argument on it having missed potential.
It's not just the simplicity. The main characters are lackluster, the action panels are boring, and the story pacing is seriously holding back its potential when the release is every 2 weeks.
If the manga has managed to make record breaking sells upon it's release, get a anime adaptation, get a light novel and at the moment at 8.88 million copies sold at circulation, that says alot about how interesting the manga is worldwide. It's ironic you say that and end things off by saying the story isn't revealing it's full potential by being bi weekly. So....the author isn't allowed to rest, recoup and work at a pace that works for him? You do realize Matsumoto is in his 40s right? The dude purposely had kafka be old for a reason. Something tells me your issues mainly are driven not by the "lackluster characters" or the "boring action panels" but from the bi weekly releases and you apply that issue you have with the releases onto the entire manga itself. A manga being released bi weekly doesn't affect the overall story, unless there's legitimate issues within the story, then the bi weekly releases are a issue of being inpatient for the manga, not the manga itself. Even freaking chainsaw man was being released by weekly for a long time and yet that story is praised not just for it's complexity but just in general.
I'm very happy that we now have a popular kaiju manga and soon anime adaptation, especially since Japan surprisingly doesn't do a lot of kaiju content. However, there are a few things that I wish would change: Pacing - I like the pacing that the manga gives, but sometimes it skips over characters giving us less time to connect to them and their development. It would be nice if that was slowed down a bit. Story: Right now it feels like we are entering near the ending or final battle in the story with kaiju spawning everywhere. To me, it feels a bit too early and could've been pushed back a bit more unless the author pulls a 180 and says this isn't it which I'm hoping is the case. Kafka's Size: Now this one I'm not too picky on but it would've been nice to see a giant monster as the main character instead of a standard human-sized one. I know that there's Eren's attack titan, but it's basically a giant human and not that interesting to a creature with monstrous features. They probably avoided doing this so it didn't feel like aot, but I doubt it.
Yeah I do agree, I would of enjoyed seeing reno try to master the no.6 suit a bit more for example instead of us seeing him pass out from his first attempt and 1 month later he managed the suit.
The protagonist is a bit too childish. He overreacts to social situations and can't be taken seriously. Everything else works well. Other characters have great character development and the sci-fi elements are pretty cool.
Our MC is like normal character on the other hand our MC's waifu is like a MC and so cool in kaiju no 8 .we want MC like more cool and left befind her and become her boss or something.he is like a normal soldier bro.thats uncool
Lets just leave the complexity on our imaginations . Being simple means it doesnt need to be grand or something , because there no perfect in this world , perfection doesnt exist . so we must atleast acknowledge that inevitable flaws in our existence .
Cant we just enjoy great anime it doesn’t always have to be complex etc for most of us we have busy life’s and so watching something that’s just action and some laughs is perfect,yeah I enjoy more thought provoking titles too but honestly a lot of them are trying to hard to be much more.Personally I think anime should breathe and flow and Kaiju no 8 does that perfectly

Okay and? Just because they're the main character doesn't mean 99% of the focus will be on them That's like expecting the main character to be the fan favorite in a voting poll which we all know when it comes to shonen the main character is never the number 1 fan favorite. They're in the top 5 for sure but always beaten out by a more interesting side character.
@@animecookie8619 there's also something called character procession which is obviously there Kafka also does progress as well, he doesn't have to be in every chapter, on every panel, constantly there to hold the reader's hand to show progression. Stories don't always focus on the main character every single second or chapter. That's storytelling 101. At this point this should be something every manga reader should know If OPM or jjk can just progression in their main characters without always focusing on them then idk you're claiming none of it is present here.
@@animecookie8619 if you see my point then that doesn't explain your own point, no offense. There story is just doing what all stories do. Establishes a main character, focuses on them for a bit, focuses one the side characters for a bit and there's a back and forth motion. Being interested only in the main character and no one else sets yourself up for disappointment. Kafka goes from hiding his secret to eventually revealing it, fighting alongside narumi to prove his worth, is willing to keep turning into a kaiju despite there was a risk he could become one permanently and feels like learning how to fight more as a human will give his human side more to accomplish since he sees all his past accomplishments as a kaiju. Not as a human. That is character progression.
Yes totally cool if u only consider the actions. But it's super lack of drama and character depth, i can't really feel the emotions of the fights. It's kind of "if some characters may die, i don't care. I don't remember their names anyway." Maybe this is kind of manga that needs some classic fireworks festival or beach chapters
So it needs filler? No thanks, kaiju no.8 may follow the classic shonen route but it doesn't need filler when the most filler it had was the training arc which was rushed and only focused on reno and kafka. It doesn't a side episode equivalent chapter in order to develop the characters when it's already developing the characters in the same fashion any shonen does it without relying on filler.
@@Kaiju-bm4ts right, it's not literally 😂. The point is it's too rushed, and there r just so many things that can be developed. Lots of potential chara, kaiju itself should be have more proper introduction, jakdf can be more looks prestigious as it was before. Many things can be brought in, but not. And now as all of that was too late, the story need to be slow down the pace. Maybe for the next arc.🤷🏻♂️
@@jakusharashii The story slowed down during the training arc man, ironically despite the training arc only focusing on 2 characters and being rushed itself, it was the only point in the series that the story slowed down. It's a shonen so it being fast paced is gonna be expected. Unfortunately you got kids that whine if it's too slow or too fast. (Most whining if it's slow). The story developed alot of things but still needs extra stuff

Kaiju no.8 in all honesty has complexity in it, the complexity is just hidden underneath it's own simple surface. On top of that the past of MANY of the characters haven't been revealed yet. We are nearly 100 chapters in and we still haven't seen kafka's past outside of some brief flashbacks of him as a kid. People (or more less English speaking fans) are too quick to hate on the manga for it's simplicity when simplicity and complexity are 2 common things that all media cover including in America so the overwhelming need for complexity in every existing story is just a result of having high standards.
However another thing I find odd is how people will say *"Kafka is like every other protagonist"* yet most protagonist don't get introduced in their later lives after they tried to accomplish their goal and failed at it many times. Right out the gate his introduction isn't "typical" by any means and his entire persona is the representation of *"You're never too old to follow your dreams"* which is a quote I know many people have heard of. Having your whole life ahead to accomplish your goal is much different in comparison to your younger years being behind you but you're still working for your goal regardless.
So true, really.
I’d also like to add: it’s not children being sent to fight a war on the front lines 😀

Kaiju #8 is an absolute banger
Just finished the most recent chapter.
This is by far the most impressive and emmersive managa ive read in a while
I would say some of the best stories start out pretty simple in concept , its all about how complexity is executed
I’ve enjoyed it thus far! Definitely a simpler story but like you said it’s not necessarily a bad thing. Simple can still be fun and entertaining. 👍🏼

@@leecrawford6560 no probs
I think it's perfect.
(Perfect. It was perfect. Down to the last minut detail.)
Compare to current airing anime, don't even try bro, it's been a while since i last saw a great anime
Sometimes keeping things simple is better. I honestly love Kaiju no. 8 so much it's my fav anime so far ❤
The story line is amazing
Its perfect for me!
I just reading it and I’m already almost 30 chapters in, I really like the design of the characters, especially the main character when he’s in his kaiju form, it looks cool as fuck
Is it weird that I literally read the first chapter the day it came out
I was a little bored cos it smells like a regular dystopia manga
Has the shounen vibe
Mc- daydreaming wonder dude with childlike justice trope
Female lead - sasuke + Levi literally
Team 7 - as usual, even have their own sakura who isn't useless
Villains are the usual monster vs human vibes
Old man sensei- this one lacked the emotional strings, nothing like jiraiya but they still have one
However the manga quality, transformations, fights and character arcs are 👌👌
Bro same😩
i like both complex and simple. I liked JJK because it was the first anime to not have standard shonen tropes i watched but recently got done watching up to season 3 of demon slayer which i like because of the visuals.
There still is time for it to improve
If they shaped the story up like pacific rim like there this slim race trying to invade there land it whould solve the peoples of having a more meaningful story per say
Kaiju no 8 2024
and a new story begins
🫶🫶🫶🫶👍👍👍👍✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️👏👏👏👏👌👌👌👌👌👑👑👑👑😍😎💙💖❤️🖤💚🤍💛💛🤍🤍
for me the simplicity is What i enjoy. i have enough shows that are really serious, so not everything needs to be that way
I loved the first chapters of the manga, but it has since become one of the rest. Still hoping for it to become kino again
My issue is that he isn’t big. Like can’t he grow a little? Feels like it’s not a true Kaiju
He does grow whenever he loses control of kaiju no. 8
When you have shows like the Dark Trio, which seem to be obsessed with "breaking the mold" or "subverting expectations", and shows that aren't like Black Clover and MHA reaching their end, a simple new story like Kaiju No. 8 is a breath of fresh air.
I think I'd like it if this started a new genre trend. The Kaiju trend. I know isekai isn't going anywhere anytime soon, but having something like a kaiju trend could be a nice change of pace.
The kaiju genre has already been releasing anime since 2017 so the trend kinda already started, plus godzilla had manga adaptations of his movies since 1954 so there are alot of kaiju manga. Only thing is this is the first and only one to reach a mainstream audience that didn't comprise of kaiju fans only.
The only way this manga would of done anything new is if it aimed to be like chainsaw man or one punch man for example and stray away from some usual shonen tropes. However the manga still works within the context it's in.
Best manga iv read so far in my manga journey but I just help but feel this is just beginning for this manga
It is simple that doesn't mean it's bad
Simplicity, if done right, gives rise to complexity.
What i can say is, we need longer chapters of it
Story so far has been simple but I still feel like a major plot twist is coming
I like kaijuu #8 exactly for its simplicity. It allows its characters to pop and me to get invested in their stories. I dont need everything to be original or thought provoking. I dont remember a bigger let down in my manga journey than Shingeki No Kyojin and people praised the sh*t out it for its originality yet now that I think about it there were less than 5 characters in that story that got me caring and by the end of it, the protagonist wasnt even one of them so what should I do with its ingenuity if I dont even care by the end of the story? Its not me hating on SnK, I followed that manga for the longest tims, I just use this because people hate on other works for being simple. Simple is fine, simple works, simple gives room for growth and I personally have high hopes for this one and I find many aspects of the story quite new too, despite similarities with other works, I think the take is quite different
oh man, if you want to binge it
it's a great to do so
(that's never a thing I look forward to)
but, I really enjoy it
the backstories are pretty cool too
I love #9 as a villain so much, I thought he was gonna be discarded early on as an early villain, yet he has risen to the top of the world, love it
If he eventually brings a discussion and debate agaisnt Kafka, he might just stand in the top 10’s of new gen
I started reading this like a week ago and Kaiju no.8 is so damn good in design and action but it definitely is generic with it's "I have to protect my friends from sadness 😢✊" but that just makes it a great starter anime
I dont like complex stories because i just want to chill man i dont wanna think so hard
People who arent tokusatsu would never understand how hard the editor obviously flipped the script for mainstream. The story was very intentionally leading up to an Ultraman like plot where he would get insane powers, people wouldn't know if they should trust him (ultraman) , he would struggle and doubting if he is human anymore (kamen rider), but still fighting in secret to help the defense force. Then he just becomes any other shonen man and yells and punches things really hard, head empty.
I'm really excited for this considering i love the kaiju universe or topic i hope that it has like a good lore behind it like Godzilla existing inside the anime
Tbh i actually enjoy the manga, I literally read it to find out what people hate about it
A lot of shows now try to be complex for the sake of being complex, disregarding whether or not that actually makes it good. I think KN8 has some time to grow but it’s actually a breath of fresh air to me. The characters are likable!!! What a novel concept!
I find the manga so far moving a bit fast and it’s heavy on the action. But I still appreciate what it does. Not every story needs to be perfect
So far, I like it a lot. The music also 👏
exactly. every. single. time kafka goes into his kaiju form and his theme song plays it just is fucking epic.
I wish kafka was about 19 years old.
you know everyone really like a story of monsters vs monsters
I love the Manga I just got the 4th Book and I gotta say it’s a lot better than I expected
I didn’t expect a lot form something about Kaiju Mangas
But this took me by Surprise
There are great Characters Great Fight but my overall favorite par to the Manga is the Random Comedy that comes from nowhere
It’s a great Story and I recommend to Anyone wether your never Read Manga or you Only Read Manga
I dropped the manga at ch60 or around there. It was simple, but my problem lies more with the upload schedule for chapters as well as how every chapter was so predictable around this point. The humor stopped hitting, characters seemed to only exist for the creation of sentimental moments or badass power ups. It all just felt forced. With the release of the anime, I’m going back to give it another try, so wish me luck!
It is perfect chill...
I honestly don’t know how you would make Kaiju No. 8 complex witjout slipping into the “man is the real monster” cliche
I too love to fight ghosts
The more you read, the more it becomes complex even if it’s at a low pace, like why did the dragonfly say to kafka “found you” does it mean he was searching for him if so, why
THIS ANIME IS GOOD. I’m going on all the popular shorts to say this is a good ass anime. Just watch and get your own opinions. We gotta keep this one live.
It's nice simple good and okay it's perfect really
Some manga/anime are showing the complicated things that make people hype but in the long run become a bland or generic but i like the kaiju it show simplicity at first and it will gradually become complex like the main antagonist real motive where they come from this will make the people more interested
absolutely love it i read the entire manga in 2 and a half days. and it might just be me, but i think the end is a litle bit too fast paced compared to the earlier parts of the manga. almost as if it is being rushed.
I think almost perfect is what anything should strive for, perfection isn't as possible as people assume. Almost perfect is the best anything can do as even the best manga/anime aren't even perfect/
I like it so far sure its a pretty basic overall but i still think its a lot better then a lot of the other newer stuff rn its good so far and has potential definitely looking foward to reading the manga til more episodes come out.
It’s a bit by numbers, tho mc a being 30 something could have been utilised way more/his struggles against his age etc. Main villain also doesn’t have a personality at all so that doesn’t help
You think this is bad you haven't seen solo leveling yet 😂
I love Kaiju No 8.
Is this a 4k video?? Looks very 🧼
My favourite manga
If the main selling point is the action of this series, then I’ll just wait for the anime to come out
I feel like there are some things in this setting that I wished were expanded on like the age and experiences of the protagonist, but I knew going in that it’d just be another shounen action series at its core.
Then it reached a point almost too quickly where it had too many characters with too many arcs to be resolved all within the same larger arc so the pacing became one of the less than stellar examples of the genre.
Amazing, I only have 3 but I’m saving for the collector pack😊
I'm anime only , my main issue with it as of now is the goofiness and lack of real threat
I'm just waiting for the next chapters
My problem with it is how little it plays into its kaiju aspect. Sure, the kaiju themselves are big, but Kafka really just... isn't. His kaiju form is human size, and when I think "kaiju battle manga" my mind jumps to two oversized titans slugging each other with lots of impact and weight. This is not what Kaiju no. 8 accomplishes unfortunately, and so for me it's just another generic battle manga. Even Kafka as a character still feels like "young shonen protag" number 264. His introduction as a thirty-something sap working a shitty job was so cool, and then they underplay this aspect immediately as soon as he gets his powers. Really sucks.
That said, action and art are heat. Now, remind me to keep these criticisms in mind for if I ever talk about this series. LOL
Kaiju no.8 isn't your typical kaiju content, it doesn't use kaiju in the same fashion godzilla does, saying it's another generic manga all because it uses the concept of kaiju in a different way (which the kaiju genre has done MULTIPLE times in the past decades) is a bit contradictory when the genre has always experimented with the concept of kaijus. Ultraman was literally human sized before and he too had always been traditionally big, the term kaiju and daikaiju literally mean strange beast and large strange beast, that doesn't always apply to godzilla or anything of that field given how vague the terms beast or monster are. Those 2 terms can refer to anything, even humans based off appearance or behavior. Even Clifford the big red dog is a kaiju by default
Kafka had a goal and he wasn't going to stay at his dead end job forever, his character is a literal representation of the quote *"'You're never too old to follow your dreams"* so the whole "he's just another shounen protagonist" doesn't work here. So what was he supposed to do? Be half human, half kaiju and continue working for a job he didn't want? All because his introduction was good? There is more to a character than what their introduction shows them. A typical shounen protagonist wouldn't be old, they would be young and still have their entire life ahead of them to accomplish their goal. Here kafka is way over his younger years and has tried to accomplish his goal as a human many times and failed, that is why his introduction is the way it is. Him as a kaiju, a older man and yet he still accomplishes his dream regardless of those challenges.
If you're gonna criticize this manga, try to have better understanding of how diverse the term kaiju is, it's not limited to giant creatures fighting
@@Kaiju-bm4ts Still, what I'm saying is we have a critical lack of giant kaiju clashes in manga right now. This series had the perfect opportunity for that and didn't explore it as much. I still think Kaiju No. 8 is excellent otherwise, but I find it problematic in that it just does nothing to stand out from other battle shonen.
I don't think you understood what I said about how I expected that, and it just didn't happen. Kaiju are diverse across Japanese media, but come on we missed out on something potentially awesome here.
As for Kafka, no, he didn't have to stay at his dead end job. But at the very least show his struggles as an older man a bit more. The series honed in WAY TOO hard on his kaiju form over anything else.
To me, this series does nothing to stand out from the crowd, and while I think it is better than most, a little distinction might help. Simple, good, but we need a little more to help it stand out. Kaiju are high up with Japanese culture, so I really feel like more could have been done here. The monster designs are already INCREDIBLE so I really do expect even better things to come especially with this recent arc.
@@aketsuuu Again the series wasn't going for that and likely never will go for that, battle shounen literally copy each other all the time so what difference does it make?. The one thing that makes it stick out is that it has kaiju in it and a adult protagonist. Those 2 aspects alone makes it stand out to a extent. This isn't chainsaw man where it's reinventing the wheel or trying to reach a high bar.
You're saying kaiju are diverse but still insist for them to be big and huge here?, that's not something I would call "diverse". You still got gamera, you still godzilla, you still gridman. There's other medias that are giving you your fix on big daikaiju so why must this series do the same when it already works within the context it has?. While the idea of giant kaiju fighting each other is cool, the kaiju genre is always experimenting with itself and this is another example of it.
Kaiju no.8 will stand out once the anime gets more publicity which is literally how MOST manga get attention if they don't get alot of attention in America as it is. Meanwhile in Europe and Japan this manga gets twice the amount of attention, so much so you see buildings and trains in Europe with kaiju no.8 on them. The kaiju genre is niche worldwide especially in the west so it's not gonna stick out especially as a manga over here compares to Europe or Japan. Once anime comes out you'll get the attention this manga needs.
@@Kaiju-bm4tsIt still doesn't feel like an experimentation... I guess the villains so far have been and the idea of Number weapons is cool, but again, with an idea like kaiju, which are rarely explored in the manga medium, I expected more.
I'm okay with experimentation, but we lack those sick giant monster battles on the page, and that's all I want. Kaiju No. 8 accomplishes almost nothing unique, and like cool... it's doing two things to distinguish itself, but when you've read over 100 battle shonen, you get tired of the way it's written. I'll adore stuff like JJK because its battles are so well done and I really do enjoy them, but Kaiju No. 8 is... well, I'm not even really sure how to describe it. The action is solid, but that's it. The story is serviceable and has solid moments, but that's it.
Kaiju No. 8 to me is the definition of missed potential. There were loads of different angles they could have took with the kaiju direction, and they chose the fucking generic main character transformation with villains that we've seen before time and again approach. Why not do something like the titan forms from AoT, where Kafka basically becomes like a pilot for a kaiju body? I know it sounds dumb, but it's an idea.
@@aketsuuu Okay why are you replying after 2 months 😑........also let me point out the contradictory in your comment
To quote you real quickl *"When you've read over 100 battle shonen, you get tired of the way it's written"* yet you're a kaiju fan who's seen the same kaiju tropes being used over and over again and wanted to see that used again in this manga but simultaneously is tired of seeing the typical battle shonen style of storytelling? Kinda contradictory right? You can't say you want this overused trope but say you hate this other overused trope and acknowledge the story distinguishing itself for doing this trope differently but say it's not unique for using this other trope in same typical way.
You're essentially implying shonen can't reuse tropes in the same fashion but the kaiju genre can?. Don't say you expected more and yet contradict yourself by revealing you wanted the same usual kaiju stuff. Comparing this to jjk doesn't even make sense when jjk is closer to chainsaw man or demon slayer when all 3 have demons.....not kaiju 🙄.....you're just making a unfair bias comparison between 2 irrelevant shonens with 2 completely different creatures to defend your double standards. Demon battles have no definitive way of how they're handled when they're handled in different ways same way kaiju battles are also handled in different ways....
And bringing up aot is a hilarious comparison when kafka and eren are both kaijin at the end of the day my guy 🤣, kaijin are creatures with kaiju like attributes. Whether those attributes are size or appearance or power. Kafka simply has the appearance and power of a kaiju. Eren just has the size but still looks like a human even in titan form. Don't say kaiju no.8 is missed potential for reusing shonen tropes but you want it to be the same typical kaiju content we seen millions of times in the kaiju genre 🙄. If you know the idea is dumb then why use it as a example? Kaiju aren't just big and that isn't what defines them as a whole. Kafka is closer to a legitimate kaiju when he looks the part and has the powers to back it up. Eren just has size and that's it.
If you think the story is solid along with the action then how is it missed potential?. It can't be missed potential if you want it to do this form of tropes but ignore this other form tropes. It will still be reusing typical tropes on either end which contradicts your argument on it having missed potential.
I kinda very much enjoy the simplicity of the anime. Then again it’s me.
If it was 17 year old it would been perfect real
There is only 6 volumes out right now , so I think in the future it may get more complex who knows
I've been wanting to read this but I gotta binge read dialogue x dialogue.
It's not just the simplicity. The main characters are lackluster, the action panels are boring, and the story pacing is seriously holding back its potential when the release is every 2 weeks.
If the manga has managed to make record breaking sells upon it's release, get a anime adaptation, get a light novel and at the moment at 8.88 million copies sold at circulation, that says alot about how interesting the manga is worldwide. It's ironic you say that and end things off by saying the story isn't revealing it's full potential by being bi weekly. So....the author isn't allowed to rest, recoup and work at a pace that works for him? You do realize Matsumoto is in his 40s right? The dude purposely had kafka be old for a reason.
Something tells me your issues mainly are driven not by the "lackluster characters" or the "boring action panels" but from the bi weekly releases and you apply that issue you have with the releases onto the entire manga itself. A manga being released bi weekly doesn't affect the overall story, unless there's legitimate issues within the story, then the bi weekly releases are a issue of being inpatient for the manga, not the manga itself. Even freaking chainsaw man was being released by weekly for a long time and yet that story is praised not just for it's complexity but just in general.
Something tells me these aren't problems with the manga but simply your opinion do to you just not liking what the manga is going for
I'm very happy that we now have a popular kaiju manga and soon anime adaptation, especially since Japan surprisingly doesn't do a lot of kaiju content.
However, there are a few things that I wish would change:
Pacing - I like the pacing that the manga gives, but sometimes it skips over characters giving us less time to connect to them and their development. It would be nice if that was slowed down a bit.
Story: Right now it feels like we are entering near the ending or final battle in the story with kaiju spawning everywhere. To me, it feels a bit too early and could've been pushed back a bit more unless the author pulls a 180 and says this isn't it which I'm hoping is the case.
Kafka's Size: Now this one I'm not too picky on but it would've been nice to see a giant monster as the main character instead of a standard human-sized one. I know that there's Eren's attack titan, but it's basically a giant human and not that interesting to a creature with monstrous features. They probably avoided doing this so it didn't feel like aot, but I doubt it.
Yeah I do agree, I would of enjoyed seeing reno try to master the no.6 suit a bit more for example instead of us seeing him pass out from his first attempt and 1 month later he managed the suit.
What? Kaiju is japanese word and japan is lot of kaiju work lol
Ultraman sentai godzilla gamera king gidra. you just don't know
Thank you👍
perfect
The protagonist is a bit too childish. He overreacts to social situations and can't be taken seriously. Everything else works well. Other characters have great character development and the sci-fi elements are pretty cool.
My issue is the manga it dont provide no fanservice it dont show mc (in kaiju form) till the arc gonna end
I give up reading the manga in chapter 50 something.
At least it have a good start.
What did I do is what an Asian with afro looks like? 🤔😂
Our MC is like normal character on the other hand our MC's waifu is like a MC and so cool in kaiju no 8 .we want MC like more cool and left befind her and become her boss or something.he is like a normal soldier bro.thats uncool
Bro i just bought the manga and DAM is it GOOOOOODDDD
Its awesome.
Lets just leave the complexity on our imaginations . Being simple means it doesnt need to be grand or something , because there no perfect in this world , perfection doesnt exist . so we must atleast acknowledge that inevitable flaws in our existence .
Just can't get into this manga. read a few chapters and dropped. something just was off
Maybe simplicity isn't for you, if you can't get into it don't try it
Idk as far I watched it I found this anime kinda good
I read up to chapter 100 in like a day. I think that sums up my opinion on the manga
Cant we just enjoy great anime it doesn’t always have to be complex etc for most of us we have busy life’s and so watching something that’s just action and some laughs is perfect,yeah I enjoy more thought provoking titles too but honestly a lot of them are trying to hard to be much more.Personally I think anime should breathe and flow and Kaiju no 8 does that perfectly
My only issue is that the manga sometimes took months just for an update
It didn't take months, the manga has been bi weekly since 2021, at no point was the manga monthly or took months to release a chapter
@@Kaiju-bm4ts That is, if you excluded the ex and 1-3 weeks of delay.
@@nicollasaaron2302 And yet we haven't gotten illustrations in literally a year and most recent ones were from November and 3 days ago......kaiju no.8 mostly has been bi weekly throughout 2021 and 2022
i Watch kaiju no 8 only wants to see Hakaiju😅.
the mc is literally pushed aside in current chapters
Okay and? Just because they're the main character doesn't mean 99% of the focus will be on them
That's like expecting the main character to be the fan favorite in a voting poll which we all know when it comes to shonen the main character is never the number 1 fan favorite. They're in the top 5 for sure but always beaten out by a more interesting side character.
@@Kaiju-bm4ts theres something known ac mc progress in a story and I see none of it.
@@animecookie8619 there's also something called character procession which is obviously there
Kafka also does progress as well, he doesn't have to be in every chapter, on every panel, constantly there to hold the reader's hand to show progression. Stories don't always focus on the main character every single second or chapter. That's storytelling 101. At this point this should be something every manga reader should know
If OPM or jjk can just progression in their main characters without always focusing on them then idk you're claiming none of it is present here.
@@Kaiju-bm4ts u have your point but ill stick to mine. i see no mc progress and I have almost lost all mood to kaiju no 8
@@animecookie8619 if you see my point then that doesn't explain your own point, no offense. There story is just doing what all stories do. Establishes a main character, focuses on them for a bit, focuses one the side characters for a bit and there's a back and forth motion. Being interested only in the main character and no one else sets yourself up for disappointment.
Kafka goes from hiding his secret to eventually revealing it, fighting alongside narumi to prove his worth, is willing to keep turning into a kaiju despite there was a risk he could become one permanently and feels like learning how to fight more as a human will give his human side more to accomplish since he sees all his past accomplishments as a kaiju. Not as a human. That is character progression.
Brother this manga is like 106 chapters. Like it give it some time😂😂. It's prolly no where near done
name one good + complex anime
stop chitchat and fix it on your own
Yes totally cool if u only consider the actions. But it's super lack of drama and character depth, i can't really feel the emotions of the fights. It's kind of "if some characters may die, i don't care. I don't remember their names anyway."
Maybe this is kind of manga that needs some classic fireworks festival or beach chapters
So it needs filler? No thanks, kaiju no.8 may follow the classic shonen route but it doesn't need filler when the most filler it had was the training arc which was rushed and only focused on reno and kafka. It doesn't a side episode equivalent chapter in order to develop the characters when it's already developing the characters in the same fashion any shonen does it without relying on filler.
@@Kaiju-bm4ts right, it's not literally 😂.
The point is it's too rushed, and there r just so many things that can be developed. Lots of potential chara, kaiju itself should be have more proper introduction, jakdf can be more looks prestigious as it was before. Many things can be brought in, but not. And now as all of that was too late, the story need to be slow down the pace. Maybe for the next arc.🤷🏻♂️
@@jakusharashii The story slowed down during the training arc man, ironically despite the training arc only focusing on 2 characters and being rushed itself, it was the only point in the series that the story slowed down. It's a shonen so it being fast paced is gonna be expected. Unfortunately you got kids that whine if it's too slow or too fast. (Most whining if it's slow). The story developed alot of things but still needs extra stuff
You don’t even go into what makes it not perfect. Being simple isn’t a bad thing. Would it be perfect if it was complex and convoluted?
Hey I loved Godzilla singular point and the Godzilla earth trilogy despite there flaws so this will be a fun ride
I get it ain’t gon have Vinland saga or Aot depth but I ain’t here for that I’m here to watch kaiju beat the shit outa each other
