Kaiju No. 8 is getting a sequel anime, though it's not officially declared as "season 2." After the first season's 12th episode, a confirmation came via the official Japanese Kaiju No. 8 Twitter account along with a short teaser trailer.

There's been a surge in kaiju media recently, with Godzilla Minus One and Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire capturing audiences' attention in 2023 and early 2024. Kaiju No. 8 offers a slightly lighter take on the genre while maintaining interesting character storylines.

When will the Kaiju No. 8 sequel anime be released?

The release date for the Kaiju No. 8 sequel anime has not yet been announced. It will be available for streaming on Crunchyroll, but fans will need to stay tuned for further updates.

Kaiju No. 8, originally a manga by Naoya Matsumoto, has gained a strong following for its unique twist on the kaiju genre. The story revolves around Kafka Hibino, who has the ability to transform into a kaiju himself, providing a fresh perspective on monster battles. The manga's popularity paved the way for the anime adaptation, which has continued to draw interest from both long-time fans and new viewers alike.
