Yeah... was wondering when they would present a Godzilla-looking Kaiju in this show. Kinda sad it got killed so quickly tho.

OK-ish start overall. Season 1 was fairly enjoyable in my opinion so I hope this sequel doesn't lose steam with these new storylines.

It was fine (6/10). But not awesome like the first episode of season 1

Vibe is different than season 1. Kafka falling out of bed in the beginning was good. Narumi(?) moaning(?) when he got kicked twice in his room was funny. But otherwise narumi's comedy isn't funny. He's good when serious though

In the dub, everybody's voice sounds a bit different than season 1. A few designs (reno and Ischikawa) look a little older to me, but maybe it's their voices sounding a little deeper/older than last season that's making me think that

We'll see how things go. This guy is the strongest defense force person in the country?

The First Division leader with the "I don't care about your feelings, I just want results" reminds me of a terrible boss I had one time 😬

I'm assuming/hoping that he'll come to appreciate Kafka though as the series goes on, and that it'll be a nice development.

aww c'mon! if you are gonna kill a monster inspired by the FREAKING GODZILLA! atleast have the balls to respect it by having it destroy for put up a fight and not be used a showpiece for another levi-type character.. like Godzilla is the reason why people even like ainime like Kaiju no 8..

sorry for the rant.. i just freaking love Godzilla.. good episode.. was cringe but nothing new.. hopefully we will the division back soon

8/10 is actually pretty good, I thought you rated it 6/10. LOL
@AmirKazeXD
My criteria for rating anime are different. A 6/10 means I don’t recommend it, but in reality, I do recommend this anime. Also, many of my friends genuinely believe Kaiju No. 8 is the best anime ever. I’m not joking or exaggerating—they say it seriously.

They find the comedy genuinely funny and believe the story and action are top-tier. That leads to something: if you’re a beginner in anime, you’ll find Kaiju to be a “wow!” kind of show. But if you’ve watched a lot of anime, you’ll feel like it’s just another repetitive shounen with no new ideas.

Anyway, I gave it an 8 also because it’s the only anime I’ve ever watched while on a plane! Just imagine that.

Sorry for the late reply! Have a great day and enjoy the show as much as you can.

Erm... Narumi seemed a bit too arogant and uncaring, for the starter.

Why is that so?

Took them long enough to get Godzilla into this. They even remixed his theme.

Kafka has a lot of work to do to prove he's not a monster. At least he still has Shinomiya beside him to help.

Narumi Gen, my fav <3 Although... I think something is missing in him in anime. I compare to manga. From plot point of view, nothing seems to be missing. Although i manga he made much harder impression. What can that be. Comparing s01 and s02 heroes, Hoshina got better entrance, imo.

Btw why Hoshina is main, and Narumi is supporting xD

I really like Aurora's song too.

@Rsma130 Thanks for your explanation.
Yeah, Kaiju 8 is fun to watch, but it is not the best for sure.

Yup, as I mentioned in season 1's last episode thread.

MC is indeed somewhat "jailed" (or like a serious house arrest), since he isn't allowed to go outside at all, and he spends like 80~90% of time inside his room.

And everyone from the old squad is all spread out, So MC has pretty much no one to converse with.

(he's technically just a "weapon" now)

.

Also... Lidl Godzilla... LOL

(too bad... this Godzilla has like only 1/10th power of the real Godzilla. (early version, not the powered up ver)

(IE: the real Godzilla has 500% durable skin/ armor and can regenerate easy)

Pretty great production, aside from the fact that it's so derivative of Godzilla (especially Shin Godzilla and Godzilla Minus One), sometimes the sheer audio-visual presentation alone is able to make me forget it's a TV anime on a relatively small budget. Heard some bad things about the recent development in the manga, but I am still willing to give this anime a (second) try.

While I really enjoyed the initial episode.

It just wasn't on par with its predecessor's initial offering.
As the first seasons ep1. Was straight fire out of the gates.

This was partial re-cap... Partial continuation.
When... They already had just released multiple re-caps even this month.

I was hoping for those re-caps to encompass the manga's actual interim period with totality. And, believe it was a mistake not to focus all of their runtime. On just moving forward. With how much is clear from just this episode encompasses "moving forward".

I think its a solid 6/10 or 7/10 for now. If they up their ante in production. And directing gets to really sink in as they did in their first go around. Then I have faith it will be something special.

i wonder how the others are faring aside from Shinomiya. Furuhashi seems fine and excited getting reassigned, while Ichikawa is both worried & determined to surpass his limits & be able to protect Kafka.

Kaijuu time 👏 hype

Uh.. that's a way of bringing us back in the franchise. They're attacking our guy 💀 weirdly. Glad it's just a dream, caus I know we were over that arc already 😆 for the time being

Twintails gotta protect them all 🙏 training arcs probably are in order in the interim. Before another big kaijuu can rear its head and take out more of the city.

Leader of the first division man 😔 should have taken better care of the room. Even with the Gundam figures you gotta have space to let the stuff shine XD but ye. Dude prob the subtle kind of strong.

We got a Godzilla now 👀 kaijuu classic. Feel first division is a party that the captain uses for his mmorpg 😆 simple kill process. Screw the first captain 💀 he doesn't need a new fancy toy.

Finally getting time to catch up with the season. Good start so far. Kafka has been moved to the First Division, and Narumi looks cool as well. He doesn't trust Kafka right now, and he needs strength and results. As long as you can deliver that, he has no problems with you.
