Kaiju No 8: Episode schedule and release plan explained

The highly-anticipated Kaiju No 8 anime has made its grand debut – so here’s the complete schedule so you never miss an episode.

Spring 2024 anime season is finally here as the highly-anticipated Kaiju No. 8 anime show has premiered on Crunchyroll. Based on Naoya Matsumoto’s shonen manga, the story follows Kafka Hibino, who works for a professional cleaning company that specializes in the battle aftermath of grotesque monsters called Kaiju.

While he’s always wanted to kill those Kaijus, he doesn’t have the qualifications to do so. However, Kafka soon finds himself in the middle of the action when a mysterious insect invades his body and turns him into a hybrid monster.

With his newfound powers, Kafka might turn his lifelong dream into reality. The anime made its debut in April.
