A highly anticipated anime based on a beloved manga is coming very soon – and it looks like it could be massive.
The adaptation of Kaiju No. 8, Naoya Matsumoto’s popular manga, is arriving this April. The source material follows a man named Kafka Hibino, who can turn into a kaiju (AKA a monster) after accidentally swallowing one. The catch is, he’s trying to join a group that takes out kaijus thanks to a promise he and a childhood pal made to each other, and he lives in a world in which kaiju attacks are common and devastating. The manga is serialized on the Shōnen Jump+ app.
The trailer, which you can watch above, looks like a lively, fun time – with some seriously high stakes, and, of course, plenty of action. In short, it looks like it could be one of thebest animereleases of the year.
