Yes and no. Similar to how I felt for much of this season. I just didn't connect with it like season 1

But I think this episode was probably a little better than the season average

If/When there's a season 3, I hope they manage to conclude the story with it. I'd like to know how it ends (no spoilers), but would prefer not having to sit through many more seasons if my overall enjoyment level will be similar to what it was in season 2 (i.e., low)

What a cliffhanger. Would love to see another season of Kafka obliterating the Kaijus.

Ending the season here was certainly a choice... Particularly after wasting three episodes with the same "Kafka is sad -> Kafka's friend talks to him -> Kafka is motivated" cycle.

I can't wait for season 3 to finish this anime.

Rin managed to hold her own during the fight against No. 13. That's the only time we see her fire the minigun.

Good thing the Reno card hasn't been revealed yet because he'd be screwed if he started fighting also.

I love Mina's 2 kill one shot.

at least we know we should be getting season 3 if it ends on that kinda cliffhanger

this show gets my music nerd brain tingling and the musical choices made with kikoru's theme during her battle are *chef's kiss*

What's the studio's purpose in creating a cliffhanger? It's annoying!! I hope the studio gets their karma.

After the new numbered Kaijus appear there's no point where the studio could stop the story and someone couldn't call it a cliffhanger.

No, I don't believe it. They can't leave us with this cliffhanger without a new season. I'm furious that I don't have a "just added to database" bell on MyAnimeList.

I haven't read many reviews of this season (the idea of ​​people having their own opinions is dubious until they see their favorite YouTuber says whether it's good or bad), but anyone who says this is bad is a son of a bitch who shouldn't have any rights.

There is going to be a third season. They wouldn't leave it at a massive cliffhanger like that. they are probably waiting to announce it at some conventions like Anime New York.

Too many episodes without Kaijuu 8 in a series bearing his name. Too many side characters getting screen time that haven’t been properly developed so we actually care about them

they really got fucked so bad narumi, hoshina and kikoru damn kikoru wasn't even close u start ask questions like how tf are they gonna win ? cuz no one is even close to 9.0 kaijuu so what abt the 9th? the who is controlling them, the next finna be fireeeeeeeeeeeeee but really ending the season without a single think hinting for a next season is pure shit, like damn are they fr? a cliffhanger that u can't do anything and without a single announcement

I'm gonna wait tbh cuz I like the ICL but it feels like they are playing

5 / 5 the episode was crazy tbh and thinking abt giving this season an 8 tbf i enjoyed it

I'm noticing a lot of these new gen anime never end their seasons at a practical stopping point. If there wasn't MAL I would be tuning in next week for episode 12. Good episode for an ok season.

With an ending like that, you would think they would announce S3 immediately. Anyways, I was wrong, between most of the adults acting like children, and there being barely any proper large kaiju, it feels like any other shonen. Not bad, but not quite what I had hoped for.

The episode was pretty good, and the animation was nice. I enjoyed the last 3 episodes, but I wish the sense of urgency was higher in this anime, Invincible style, with all the shit happening in the city and civilians dying, but no one dies here except those random military dudes that got killed by the Kaiju chick so this one doesn't even count, they are just random NPCs without faces so I can't even be bothered to give a fuck about them, but if I see some civilians in trouble and they die afterwards like in Invincible, then yeah, I will give a fuck and I will feel bad about them.

Anyway, it's an ok anime, I won't be in a rush to watch the 3rd season, but if it gets released next year, then it's whatever to me, I'll watch it, but I'm in absolutely no rush. The thing I praise the most about this anime is the animation, which is good enough for my standards, but the rest isn't that good.

Like I said in a previous thread: I really like the idea of a proper build-up arc like this. Videogames are typically quite good at it where you complete the personal quest lines, get the best equipment, and get everything set and then dive into the final dungeon for a nonstop race to the final encounter. If season 3 is just hit after hit without any stalling in between that would be amazing and really pay this off. If they chicken out and still add filler then that will be disappointing but not totally ruinous.

This show is just blue balls over and over again, full on episodes of Kafka being benched and then they end the season with him FINALLY about to do something? It's frustrating in ways I can't explain, i'm tearing my hair out trying to figure out when exactly the MC is supposed to act like an MC only to get THIS season ending?

Season 2 ends, and no news of a Season 3, if ever. Honestly, if a 3rd season isn't announced by June 2026 (9 months later), then it'd be safe to say that a 3rd season (or a movie sequel or whatever) will never happen. The manga has already ended, so there's no waiting for enough manga chapters to be available before another season gets made like there is when new seasons are made for ongoing manga. Not expecting a 3rd season because of abysmal first week blu-ray sales, but I hope I'm wrong.

You’re genuinely tweaking if you think we ain’t getting a season 3

The episode was nice, but half of this season felt very stagnant... And I'm just surprised the season ended like this, without any conclusions, like a cliffhanger between weekly episodes. I didn't know it was a finale before I went to MAL to update my list. Dandadan has been ending its seasons this way too and I just hope it won't become a trend... I liked S1 enough to give it 8, but for this it can't be more than 6 [*]

Do not forget anime adaptations are just only source material advertisement and from this reason you got another "Buy and read source material" ending but this time with cliffhanger.
Season 3 never. Accept his fact and buy and read source material if you want more.

Of course, Kafka had to join the battle! Now Kaiju N.9 knows his whereabouts. I wanted to see them clash before the end of the episode.

No.9 using his newly obtained Director knowledge to form massive strats to beat the Defense Force.

With specifically grown Kaijus meant to target specific strong members.

.

What I am wondering tho is... is this "all" the number Kaijus grown by no.9?

Imagine if dude's is still growing even stronger ones that goes over fortitude 10+

.

Also, this season ended right as they're about to do a huge fight. (which is actually similar to what Kimetsu and BokuAcademia did)

With Kimetsu going the Movie final, while BokuAcademia is doing a final season. (with both series last ended season doing a giant cliffhanger right before the big fights)

Well I thought it would be cool if that Kaiju was one shotted by Kafka at the last scene of the series. I guess but that might be too easy for a strong villain.

Looks like these new numbers Kaiju are much stronger than all Kaijus in history except Kaiju No 9.

Now, we wait for the next season 3 of Kaiju No.8.

It is good, but it does feel like a rush in this season, and how do I know? Because I can tell that they added a CGI on the Big, long range gun and people panicking to run to the underground. That how I know it a rush, and again I do not like CGI in 2D animation.

If they make S3 it will be the final season. S2 covered 42 chapters in 11 episodes so S3 can cover the remaining 48 chapters in 12-13 episodes.

I wasn’t a fan of this series to begin with, but man… what an unsatisfying structure for this season and its conclusion. Shit is over before it even started.
Also, can they please stop using that corny-ass song every time Kafka does something remotely cool?
