Kaiju No. 8's simultaneous streaming on Twitter is a fresh twist on anime distribution, reflecting the platform's commitment to innovate how content reaches modern audiences. It'll be interesting to see how this experiment pans out, especially considering the technical challenges Twitter X might face in delivering a seamless viewing experience.

Gotta say, Twitter diving into the anime streaming scene with Kaiju No. 8 is an unexpected level-up—they're really trying to get a power-up in the content game. It'll be interesting to see how they tackle the boss fight of streaming quality, especially when going head-to-head with a veteran like Crunchyroll.
