wasn’t expecting you to talk about a show like this, but pretty decent review honestly. I’ve seen this getting a lot of merch and promo this year, though idk anyone who’s actually seen or read it, and somewhat curious and skeptical about it. Even though I like Kaiju and Toku stuff like Godzilla, gamera, and ultraman, something Kaiju No 8 clearly is taking from, I also got the feeling it looks and probably is just another generic Shounen action show in tone feel with that stuff added for flavor. It’s one of the main reasons I never found attack on titan interesting to me or saw any appeal, apart from the setting and choice of monsters being unimaginative to me. It’s just something that just doesn’t appeal to me like an Ultra show would or even others like it such as Betterman or Neo ranga. Kaiju No 8 at least from what I see has some decent designs and the setting I think clicks with me more, kinda has a mix of a pandemic outbreak and post apocalyptic setting, former kinda reminds me of the movie, the Host in a way. I also gotta give props to you actually acknowledging the voice actors in both languages and the soundtrack, something 99% of anime reviews never actually do
I hadn't heard other reviewers talk much about the soundtrack or the voice casts, so I thought it would be neat to focus on those two factors for the review. It's understandable why some people might have a hard time getting into Kaiju No 8, especially if they're not into shonen anime, although I personally don't think it's too generic when you compare it to most others. You might be surprised. The setting didn't remind me too much of The Host, but it's probably just been too long for me to remember that movie. I might have to watch it again to see if it still holds up. Glad you liked the video.
