Kaiju No. 8 is an anime series that caught me off guard. Based on the manga by Naoya Matsumoto, on the surface, the series looks like a gritty tale where Kaiju cause mass destruction.

"We consumed anime and various forms of Kaiju media growing up, and so seeing these characters sort of mirroring our own selves helps bring in a little bit of that extra pizazz,” says Nazeeh Tarsha, the English voice actor for Kaiju No. 8 protagonist Kafka Hibino.
