Kaiju No 8 manga has been super super slow, so slow thats its taken months for anything to actually happen. However it may be because the Kaiju No 8 anime is around the corner and had its own problems.
This isnt a review, its a discussion, explained, analysis, breakdown for Kaiju No 8 anime & Kaiju No 8 manga.
The story and action is incredible but the inconsistent release schedule couldn't allow it to build a consistent and passionate base of readers to make it blow up online
i am you but better
@@Crimsickleno i actually like their shade of red better, sorry
The release schedule has been bi weekly for the longest time now and stayed that way since with 1 or 2 full month breaks happening every once and awhile. That's not inconsistent. The problem is that this is a fast paced manga that realistically only works with a weekly release and with some chapters being shorter than others, people feel like they waited 2 weeks for something they can speed read through (despite they can always let chapters build up and binge them at a appropriate time).
Nowadays, we're getting kaiju no.8 content almost on a weekly basis
Every manga takes a long time to upload right? At minimum: mangas gets one chapter each month if you're lucky is what I thought so I don't think a schedule is why.
@@Oldmeme592Not really, most mangas upload weekly. Very few upload monthly and when they do the chapter length makes up for it. JJK, My Hero, One Piece, stuff like that is all weekly
I think this story would have benefitted from a monthly release schedule with monthly style/sized chapters. Rereading it thru it feels fine but the haphazard release schedule + weekly sized chapters do it a disservice.
I feel Choujin X suffers from the same issue but people give that story more grace since Sui Ishida is already an established mangaka.
Comparing Kaiju 8 to Choujin X feels insulting because the latter is a work that actually has vision and structure behind it, isn't the most cookiecutter shonen out there and has characters that make you invested in them. Kaiju 8 feels like some lab-made Shounen where a board of executives just took some of the most popular shounen and jumbled them up to create one of the most sterilised works I've seen.
Choujin does fine because its uniqueness...
@@nihongopractice3125also I feel people give Choujin X more slack because even in the first chapter there was a understanding that the author was just gonna release it when he felt like it, and the people who know his situation with Tokyo ghoul know why he works that way
@@someguyy194_2I give Choujin X slack because I don’t understand what the story is about at all. It feels like I got dropped into the middle of the story.
@@RoflCannon6 Read it again and come back, I don't know how you missed the overarching story but it's even more prominent now.
The anime may charge this series up. I just don't want the Kaijus to suffer too much of CGI.
I was just saying this the manga is great and the anime can boost it completely but if the Kaijus don’t come out crisp it’s gonna be a miss
So far every Kaiju they have shown looks pretty good and there is barely any CGI. Everything looks pretty good imo.
Cgi-phobia, mappa cg team already proved that cg can be even better than 2d
@@kenmaru777 with what AoT? Naaaahhhhhhhh lmao
@@cyrusr2209final two parts were incredible. You legit couldn't tell that some colossal titan looked cgi in some scenes. That baby scene on clif was jaw dropping.
I was sorta invested because I liked the mc being a 30yo and I like kaiju, but I caught up to the current story at the time and never felt the need to catch back up. It's kinda generic
Yeah they really didn't do shit with the Mc being thirty lol
Mc never acts like he is 30 though, he acts soo childish half the time
I get that people can act younger despite their age, who doesn't? But I do wished they gave him a more adultery personality too.
I never read it but people say every shonen is generic. What shonen do you think isn't. I see people who hate chainsawman for being too weird so to start i feel you gotta be a bit easy to follow or familiar aka generic before you break the mold. Most authors arent the same and they have their unique perspectives but people claim their mostly just generic in shonen. What makes all the highly accliamed in the first 50 chapters so mindblowingly unique. One piece is considered the best shonen of all time for some, but in 50 chapters today people would say it's generic. Any magic power, generic, any hero generic, any plot where someone grows to accomplish something, generic...death note was not one of those but people call it trash and generic today...and overrated...I think people just focus on old shows and act like nothing they watch is good cause they saw some similarites but were watching pretty good stuff. Faster pace (i hope they dont get faster adhd has caused people to say 5 chapters and episode is too slow and 10 is needed).
@@nichescenes I respect the effort. But I'm not reading all that
I don't get why people keep bringing up the fact that Kafka is older character. He can be a 16 year old, NOTHING in the plot would change.
But the point of him being an older character is that he had his time in his youth to be great but he let it slip away and isn’t satisfied with himself for letting his chance slip away for all those years . He was satisfied with his bare minimum until he wasn’t. Not everyone is who reads manga is a teen and sometime a more relatable older character is refreshing to see
@@daddy2577 I understand. But what exactly does it change for the plot?
Is it actually something important for the story, or is it just "he's just like me, for real" moment, for the character to just be relatable or whatever, without any deeper connection to the story's theme?
@user-fm1zr8sp5y Nothing. But it should have. Could have made him 15 and nothing would change. That's the problem.
@@Bustaperizm Exactly! That's what I'm talking about!
It's just that in every review on this manga I've seen everyone keeps bringing up the fact that the mc is an older guy, like it's something automatically making the story three times better. Like, guys... I've read it. Not the whole thing but 20 chapters for sure, and I CAN TELL that him being older guy will not matter for the story at all.
When I first read the series knowing that Kafka is older could be an interesting character to watch progress because we can see him try to catch up with these young guys or be the mature adult to his younger colleagues by using his experiences, but the problem is just how the author executed the character. He acts like an average, inexperienced, normal shonen protag just being older.
I read the manga up till 90, I feel like the series could be more interesting if Kafka had still failed the entrance exam, make it to where while Kafka is disappointed that he still failed, he decides to still fight other Kaijus like some kind of masked vigilante while being hunted down by the kaiju extermination organization. Throw in some spice where Kafka’s control over his kaiju powers is shaky like mid Naruto, have it to where Kafka even kills someone he loves because he lost control over his kaiju side
Tbh yeah that sound sm more interesting. After I finished the manga it just felt like your typical shounen story and I didn’t really feel moved by the story at all and the mc is ok. It’s literally a copy and paste of MHA
I haven't read the manga, but I've been watching the anime, and something about it just seems so off. I'm so confused about so many things, like where do the kaiju come from? How long have humans been fighting Kaijus? Why don't the soldiers, much more the commanders and vice commanders, have a standard knowledge on how to defeat whatever the fuck kaiju they're up against, so they have to rely on one guys knowledge (Kafka) to defeat them mid battle???
I also didn't really see a strong enough motivation for Mina to become fricken Commander of a defense force. Like her cat died, yeah, and her village or whatever was destroyed, but what happened to her parents??? Why wasn't she crying over them? It would have made way more sense if her motivation was her dead parents. Or it could be she simply doesnt want what happened to her happen to someone else, but the anime doesn't really show that? Ug this anime is really fun to watch, but there's so many plot holes, at least to me. I really hope these questions get answered in the anime, I feel like they should have been answered already
I really thought kafka was gonna kill the vice captain in an accident and go on a deep depression
I genuinely love it but it just takes a while I’ve honestly kinda forgot what’s going on
I dont like how the main character is 30 but acts like hes 16
I mean it’s not like he’s a real 30, it’s fictional
@@Jay_BeWilldok so if I write a shonen about a 16 year old that acts like a 4 year old then that’ll be perfectly fine right? The point isn’t that it’s fiction and everything is possible because it’s fiction. The point is that you have to make your characters believable enough that readers can immerse themselves in the story. It’s hard to take a 35 year old character seriously when he still acts like your average 15 year old shonen jump character.
@@RoflCannon6 sure that would be fine as long as the story is good
@@RoflCannon6Well strawmanned my dude
Just a question... How should a 30 year old man act?
I believe you are conflating age with maturity. He's single and living a boring life and his life's purpose is to pursue a "childhood dream". Right until the point where he gained the chance to join the corp, he doesn't actually have any meaningful responsibility where he needs to "act mature". Add the fact that most shonen anime portray kid protagonist as self-relying individuals with seeking to make their mark is the norm then you got an unfair comparison.
Man, I need to get back into this series
Kaiju No 8 is the story equivalent of constructing a building by going to a plot of grassland and starting with the wooden frame, drywall, electrical, plumbing, etc without ever laying the cement foundation only to realize the error after the house is completed and just laying the floorboards directly onto the bare earth.
No disrespect meant, but Matsumoto-sensei was in such a hurry to get to "the good stuff" they had in mind for the monster fights, he never did the basic groundwork to invest us in why we should care about the people fighting for their lives against these creatures. The only character we actually understand is Kafka, so the story is able to function so long as we stay glued to his perspective, however the moment the camera shifts away from him it falls apart.
The change in perspective is akin to walking towards a theater stage and seeing behind the flat, 2-dimensional set dressing that is the remaining cast. Kafka is the only living, breathing 3D dimensional actor amongst cardboard cutouts. The attempt to provide them depth has been laughable as they are so condensed and simple that it can be relegated to a singular flashback that scarcely covers a single chapter. In fact, there's tons of dialogue narrating fights from the support staff of literal-whos as they shout out percentages with shocked expressions and you just kind of wonder.... "who are you and why are panels being wasted on these nameless non-entities in the story? And why does it keep happening?"
The solution to this was to have spent far more time during the training and exam portions of the story to significantly flesh out the entire cast similar to how Attack on Titan handled an extremely similar premise. It went to great lengths to let us spend a shitload of time with everyone including several characters that ended up being fodder with little to no impact on the grander narrative. Kaiju No 8 certainly made the attempt, but ultimately failed to capture the interest of the audience as nearly every "quirk" of the supporting cast only reinforced how much of a rote, generic shounen archetype they are or in some unfortunately cases, are characterized only insofar as the weapon they wield. They make for a cool splash page design... just not a compelling character who leaves you on the edge of her seat as to whether they'll make it out of this alive.
True
Most comprehensive shit i read so far
Ive been watching the anime, I haven't read the manga, and there are so many plot holes and so many things that confuse me. I've never had so many questions for an anime before. They attempt to flesh out Kafkas character more by turning him into a kaiju encyclopedia, and what bugs be about that is why any other soldiers, and especially the higher ranks, have no basic knowledge of the monsters they fight? They seem to identify them very easily, meaning they've seen these before thousands of times, and they have this shit WRITTEN in books, so why isn't it standard knowledge?? It doesn't make any strategic sense, it just put the soldiers on the field at a major disadvantage.
32 year old man here who saw the first episode and then proceeded to catch up with the manga in a few days. I have enjoyed this series a ton. I can definitely relate to Kafka in this series.
The reality I have learned while reading manga and watching anime for years is that manga are very awkward when it comes to pacing. This won’t be the first series I’ve read that is annoying to read waiting for each release and it probably won’t be the last.(the pain of waiting for the next Black Clover chapter)
HunterxHunter fans: First time?
I’m caught up with the manga and as much as I enjoy the action in it as well as the cool designs of the suits they wear and the weapons they use the issue I have is the release date of chapters. I get that it takes awhile to draw scenes as well as the environment they’re in but it seems like nearly a whole month before we see another chapter.
Also, some of those chapters were just cover art instead of action or dialogue.
There was a huge following, but it feels like then more and more time went by with no one talking about it and never read it myself, but people I know who've read it say that a new kaiju appears then a training arc happens then they beat that kaiju then rinse and repeat like there's no direction or anything at all.
As someone who has read it, the way those people summarized kaiju no.8 is a bit of a oversimplification. There's realistically only 1 major training arc and it happens after no.9 (main villain) appears the 3rd time in the story. When it came to no.10, no one was training, when it came to no.9 appearing first 2 times? No one was training and any training that does happen isn't condensed into a arc just to defeat said kaiju. Most of the kaiju are defeated through easy and quick means.
@Kaiju-bm4ts Oh ok and I'm looking forward to the anime since it'll be my first experience with Kaiju No. 8
The problem with Kaiju no 8 isn’t the repeatability but the lack of content. Like bruh theres no content to even be repeated right now since it’s so god damn slow.
@@nguyentandung42 um...kaiju no.8 side B? There's no lack of content when we been getting kaiju no.8 content almost on a weekly basis for a few weeks now.
The problem as someone who dropped it in 46 chapters. It's generic as fuck. Main chatracter is 32 but acts like every other shounen protagonist. The fights rely on flashbacks and power ups. The side characters suck cause all their motivation is to be stronger.
i love kaiju No 8 :( ;
praying they get to finish the manga at least
It's great, I don't get all the hate for it.
@@KujoPainting Nobody hates it, people are just criticizing it for being boring.
How is a boring? I find a way better than chainsaw man.
@@WarlockInTraining I donno about better than chainsaw man but it's defintely not boring.
Honestly the fact it’s gonna stream on Twitter might of just killed it in the water if yungblud doing the op didn’t already lol
I love Kaiju No. 8, it got me back into exercising after I got in a slump after I lost my job then and soon after I got myself into somewhere that paid better too so I mean I like to look at it as an inspiration that it doesn't matter how old you are to make a difference in your life and improve which I appreciate, but at the same time it takes SOOOOOO long which I get but it hurts
Personally?
It started off good, but the inconsistent releases made me forget characters names, and I could only tolerate its mid-ness for so long before I decided : "Bro, this is dumb."
Not only do chapters release bi-weekly but the pacing is absolutely horrible for a manga. They need to stop dragging on backstories during time sensitive moments
5:15 you say there's nothing character related that justified him not immediately going to rescue mina. But the fact is that this has been built up since the start as a major character flaw that Kafka needs to work on. Yes he's taken steps to deal with it up to this point, but the whole point is to show that he's someone that needs to learn to trust the people around him. Infact, it's literally the enemies plan to exploit this character flaw to isolate mina and absorb her. He literally says that the only one that can stop him is Kafka and that he deliberately created this plan to force Kafka to abandon everyone else to save mina. The fact we take 5 chapters to go from that to him actually arriving to save her is what makes the reaction of no.9 so hard hitting. Because he was not expecting it at all. Although no.9 does claim it makes little difference to his overall plan, the author goes out of his way to show that it has thrown him off a little to see Kafka here. I understand the complaint, and as someone who only just caught up, I don't yet understand the frustration of having to deal with this for months, but seeing as how my weekly series consumption of one piece is currently on a 3 week break, I can say that I'm more than capable to handling a delay to the characters goals so long as it is in the spirit of building said characters growth.
the story is like oh my god am gonna die but oh wait i have plot armor and flashback
than go watch monster Evangelion or re zero or something this anime intention is just to be an action pack anime
(spoilers)
eh. not fully. kafka literally had the heroic "I WONT LET YOU WIN!" speech only to get smashed into the ground.
It fell off way earlier then y'all think
idk why people are hating kaiju no.8 is a very nice read and has an interesting plot it is leading towards like what was the ghost Kafka saw at the shrine only thing i don’t like is that there’s like no internal conflict within the good guys it’s just purely good humans vs bad monsters i like stories having bad humans too
The plot is pretty simple and generic but it's still fun to watch
@@politedonut2637 yeah. it's one of those anime/manga where you don't need to overly think it. it's not some big societal commentary or have this giant message. one message, you're not too old to go for your dreams, but other than that. it's just a "I get to see people battle kaiju in epic fights" sort of anime. simple. and nice.
Arbitrary power system, forgoing character development and world building for nonstop monster fights, fight conclusions boil down to “finding the strength within”. The series had all the promise and goodwill but came up shallow. It seemed like they were going somewhere with Kafka being an older protagonist that felt relatable to some audiences but it went absolutely nowhere
JJK did it with anime Gojo in Shibuya and manga Gojo which really skyrocketed the popularity. I believe they Kaiju No8 would try that xd
Make a huge point about the MC being older(30 years old) just to make it as generic as a shounen can be and make the MC act like teenager.
The feelings you expressed here is how I’ve felt about Black Clover ever since it entered Jump Giga. The story is at this action packed “War” arc but it’s moving so damn slow because we have to wait 3-4 months and once it does come back we get maybe 20 pages. Like wtf it really feels painful (and I don’t want to mitigate what the author’s family is going through. He absolutely did the right thing by prioritizing his wife)
Bro is 32 years old
I think the problem with Kaiju 8 is simply that it became way too popular way too quick. Because its such a big deal, a lot of the people who like it are expecting more and some of the people who don't, don't expect much which is usually okay.
While some complaints are warranted, many come out of nowhere and beat around the actual problems.
Even though I love keeping up with this series, Some parts of this arc have been extremely slow. Like we're dancing around and talking about characters we don't really care about. Its only good due to how enjoyable and good the writing is, At least to me.
Saying it fell off has become a trend at this point. Kafka is still a fun character to watch, and we literally just started growing his character some more.
I understand both sides and if you just don't like kaiju 8.
A lot of anime "fans" tend to use the same complaints over and over again.
The premise of Kafka needs to hide his Kaiju power in the first act is nonsense by the fact that eventually we know that there were many other Kaiju user in the past. From there it's only downhill.
Its generic but its really good for typical readers that just want something to read in their past time
Paced as a weekly, released as a monthly
I binge read the entire manga in a day. 106 chapters. Even I could tell that it was too slow. Often times the characters even say the same thing multiple times. That's hella annoying.
the problem with Kaiju No 8 is because it pages come out almost as if its a weekly shonen,when compared to manga like Ragna Crimson that have a bunch of stuff take place in a chapter wether its lore dropping or a fight,Ragna Crimson always keeps the vibe that stuff is happening
dont worry guys, the mangaka is going to make a sequel manga known as mighty no. 9 to improve the story today!
Honestly, the big issue is that Kafka's been irrelevant in his own series for a long time. The author basically falsely advertised what the series would be.
I had a lot of joy with the start of it, but none of the characters really match up to him. Most of them are in too soon, or just don't feel relevant.
I'm currently reading Kaiju No. 8 and I can't wait for the release of its anime adaptation.
if people think Kaiju no 8 is slow and terrible (which it is), let me introduce to you to the current World Trigger arc. Good god.
No wonder they never got another anime season shit is too dragging even in anime, its interesting concept but goddamnnn boiiii
What happened to world trigger?
I think rock music in general works really well with monster and stuff, like that genre of media, one obvious example being Transformers and frickin Linkin Park. So having Yungblud and Onerepublic seems like a good choice to me personally.
Is it true that the MC is more powerful than Saitama? I saw one article in CBR they ranked him the top and Sung Jin Woo as top 2.
Cbr is legit brain dead it's like the asked an ai from 3 years ago to generate a list no kafka isn't more powerful than saitama
i'm one of the biggest hater of this serie, i pray daily on it's downfall, i hate it because of 2 things:
1. as a monster hunter player, THEY DO NOT TREAT KAIJUS AS KAIJUS, they are monsters, but they feel less like big fucking monsters destroying cities and more like inconveniences, because a single soldier is so strong confronted to the monsters
2. the character design is the most boring shit in the entire world, expecially the "monster suits", i understand the normal soldier suit, but a suit SECIFICALLY DESIGNED to have the ability of 1 strong monster they were inpressed from, it's the same suit of a normal soldier, but it has an ability, again as a monster hunter player this triggers every cell in my body to a fight to kill response
I mean kaiju is literally suppose to be big fucking monster destroying cities go look up the meaning and praying for a show's downfall just because u dont like it is pathetic this show will still be more loved by others who like it than u would ever be
@@politedonut2637 exactly, kaijus are "supposed" to be big fucking monsters that destroy cities, only problem is that kaijus here pose 0 threat, outside of maybe n.9(but even he falls short, what did he do, kill 1 guy we met for 1 chapter and then nothing else), there are no real stakes in the serie for someone to be involved for too long, plus every character has the basic shonen copypasted character traits(which is so basic it becomes boring), the protagonist is not even a real 32yo(he just acts as the typical 16yo shonen protag, so his entire speciality unspecializes itself(???). And the pacing becomes abysmal after some chapters.
BUT
i think the first season of the anime is still gonna be good, because it was at the moment of it's uprising where all these defects were less present, still i do be praying on it's downfall🙏🙏📉
I've been reading since chapter 2 and it's AGONIZING, I don't even want to see the next chapter because I KNOW he isn't going to move still.
what happened is that people hyped the series with buzzwords like "the next big series on shonen jump", and when the series didint blow their minds they started to shit on it, or drop ot off for not doing what they were sold from the mouths of others, particularly youtubers. in reality theres nothing particularly wrong with the series. its a run of the mill shonen. its a fun read, suffers a bit from the release schedule as all shonen do after a point, all these series are always better when read how they are really supposed to, not on a weekly basis.
Honestly I was so excited to read this series, as I'm someone who's been reading it since around chapter 65 was out and was so so incredibly disappointed to learn how mediocre it became as i read along, I had already quite a few of the volumes because I was enjoying the story, but with each month; each chapter. It just got worse, and worse.
I feel nothing for these characters. If you can hardly call them that, they're sloppily written, and they never get a moment to breathe or actually interact with eachother in a meaningful way.
We never get a "break" from the chaos, we don't learn anything about the characters that actually flesh them out at all. But I just, don't care... These characters are bland, uninspired, and hardly have any real personality that isn't one note. The main villian is incredibly uninteresting and just seems like this "har har im big and evil" villian. I get that its the mangakas first action manga, but jeez it is NOT as good as it could've been. HEAVY amounts of missed potential.
IMO, this mangas anime adaptation would heavily, just MASSIVELY [i forgot the word again...] from anime exclusive content, and/or filler scenes with the characters actually interacting outside of the defence force, let us see the same cities we're gonna see wrecked in the future bustling full of people and children, men and women. People living their lives, so we can REALLY feel what it's like to be a part of the defence force; and know why and what we do to protect is.
This manga actually fell off so hard that i clicked this video, got an add, and clicked off before it started goin "wow i dont care actually" no offense im sure vid is great
im only at chapter 60 an ive only been reading for about 5 hours and its been a banger so far
I think the problem I have with it is the inconsistent release.
This will probably be ‘fixed’ when the anime hopefully adapts more chapters with more seasons as there will be more content per week. Characters and info will be retained since we aren’t getting just crumbs every couple weeks.
And I don’t even mind the constant perspective changes (to the point the MC gets constantly sidelined), but the inconsistent release makes it a pain if you either don’t care about the side character they’re focusing on, or just really want to see what Kafka’s next move is, which he can’t do for a couple chapters, which for this manga, could genuinely be months.
We can’t give up on Kaiju no 8! Please share it with friends
Sufferants what’s your opinion on the newest jjk chapter where Sukuna came out and gave yuji 4 backflashshots💦to put him in his place and teach him who’s master? Super neat chapter imo
Kafka's personal arc of having faith in his friends was infuriating.
He's become even more australian
For me, it fell off after corps accepted him as weapon.
And Narumi character is bad addition. He is like generic MC. Too many characters that treated like MC.
Later it become edgy where everyone are prideful and self absorbed.
The setting are like AOT where enemies of humanity can cause extinction while characters in this show/manga are competing about who kill which kaiju, who's the best, etc.
I mean, why does it matter? You are surviving and the goal should be eliminate kaiju no matter how or who.
I’m calling it now, the intro is NOT gonna be a banger like Mashle, JJK, if I’m wrong I’ll be back 😂😂
Well the intro isn't terrible, it's pretty hard to make a "bad" intro, but it's just meh, I don't have any desire to watch it, i just skip it, i don't really remember the song that well, and the visuals are cool, but it aside from some shots that are just cgi versions of manga panels, it's pretty bland. 5/10
It’s a good intro. Where are you?
@@ZekeAndroid49 I forgot to come back, I was def jammin to the intro, it’s wasn’t out of this world I like it though
As long as this doesn’t have bad cgi it will succeed
The pacing has absolutely killed this series. I went from buying volumes to not reading at all!
It’s ridiculous to be honest. How are the editors allowing this to happen?
One thing that I was looking for in this latest arc were the new number Kaiju that every character was going to face. I was excited but even then those parts felt a bit slow and I think what you said about the timing of the anime might be on point. I thought that the author was running out of ideas which would suck because he has a lot of creativity we can see from so hopefully we don't get the latter. Kaiju no 8 sure is doing a lot of *weird* things too I mean first anime to stream on a social platform? Can't wait to see how that goes 😂. Also if we do get another season I hope things will be changed so we won't have a painfully stretched out battle.
people really hyped up mid
I was reading kaiju 8 while waiting for undead unluck chapters to pile up but got kinda bored when the characters had their arcs kinda half baked and the plot felt like something I already read/watched.
Wasn't there a reveal where Kafka was able to see ghost kaiju, which was just never brought up and explored again
bro ur editing is so funny
Love the new mic
I still fuck with it it got me back into manga again.
Can't fell off if it's never climb up
I hope it will continue without problems. Always somebody makes a video "what happened to the..." i get a feeling there is a problem with a series.
I imagine most people will watch it on Crunchyroll and everything else but X. I see the X thing more like "if you want it there, it's there, an option", sure it's a bit unusual but it's there. It may be as you say, that they are trying to appeal to more western/international people in terms of marketing.
I personally don't really have a problem with anything. Character designs aren't as bad as people say imo, they are optimized for animation (i assume) and they have grown on me too, animation looks nice, music sounds really nice and fitting, and the artists for the op and ed are again unusual picks but they are pretty big so that should be nice for the show. I'm genuinely curious how did they manage to get them, if they promote the show when they release these songs, that's a lot of eyes there.
Lastly, I'm not caught up with the manga but if the author is doing something that he doesn't usually do and it's (partially) because of marketing/promotion that shouldn't be bad. Consuming the story from now on should feel a bit better and (maybe) not as slow. Also I guess there could be other reasons for this, maybe he is building something else, maybe there is a reason why it's taking this much.
I know for sure that I'm excited to see the adaptation, there has been a lot of waiting but it looks pretty promising. 😌
They should've just hired Diggy-Mo for all the music
It has been trying to do the JJK thing where antagonists get protagonist plot armor and characters just die for no thematic reason. It's "pain is power" storytelling AGGGGAAAIIINNNNN!
That's why it is falling off. People are getting just as sick of OP antagonists who just murder the whole cast as they are of OP protagonists who God mode their way through problems. Ineffectual protags who never accomplish anything and only ever fail until one great asspull at the end is like THE standard nowadays.
They were once characters we were supposed to, in youth, aspire to. Now they are just as much loser as most of the people reading them. The consumers life is nothing but struggle and toil.... and the escapism is nothing but struggle and toil.... and then everybody dies.
I started reading it and finished it in like a week but the chapter releses are kinda slow. I also wish kafka would get more development since he is mostly in backround or just used a quick problem resolve.
This is for sure gonna be interesting. Yungblud is a cool artist, haven't listened to One Republic in a while. And an X release is just wild. Smart, but wild nonetheless. So it'll instantly be available to everyone, week to week. No paywall, no region off limits, everyone can enjoy it. They'll most likely make a bit of money from their account getting the views of each episode. I wonder what their goal is though to make their profit? Like how do you make money from this, besides twitter view revenue. I doubt Twitter pays as much as CZcams.
i gave up with the manga
his identity got exposed too fast, i dropped after that.
It's the most basic manga I've read in a long time. It's not bad, but there's absolutely nothing that keep me invested. Stopped reading around chapter 60
Hopefully the anime revives it
I read it a while back until chapter 80 or so. It started off pretty decent, but after Kafka revealed his powers the story became pretty boring imo
I’ve seen a lot of mention the MC age. I won’t repeat what others have said (recommend you look at the comments) but there are childish 30 year olds out there 😂. Just because we are 30 does not mean we automatically turn into these serious mature people. We are still youthful.
Hey can we see a vid on your 2nd channel where you edit a vid I like watching live edits i think they are cool
Literally gave up on the manga on chapter 36. Too horrible
i respect your opinion, moving on
I haven't read it in a year I was letting it pile up and now I don't think I'm that interested like I was back then
And just when the anime was about to start haha
I honestly thought Vaundy would do something
ive been reading kaiju for the past year or 2 but i gotta be honest.. its so fucking booooooriiiiiiing 😭even from the start it felt like ive read the manga before.. but for some reason im still reading it
the endgame this manga is currently going through doesnt help at all... its the same WE ARE WINNING! OH NO WE ARE IN THE BRINK OF LOSING IT ALL! OH THE MAIN CAST GOT A HUGE POWER UP AND NOW WERE WINNING! BUT OH NO THE BIG BAD GUY HAS DONE SOMETHING BAD AND NOW WE ARE ON A TIME CRUNCH!
also all the lines are all the most basic "with the power of friendship" type lines...
not to mention in every single chapter we get to see the people behind the screens giving comms doing their silly over reactions
Jujutsu kaisen, dark realistic manga and anime are in right now and it's just not scratching that itch to see some fucked up shit, were even getting a dark power rangers anime where some of them right die, Kaiju is just too much of a MHA type of manga.
It literally ends in just 12 ep which is boring i thought it would be atlest 45 ep woulda benn much better
Meh alot of people say it fell off and not that gud but idc the an8me came out meh dont care i enjoy it
That manga series is slow as hell!!!
Someone said it😔
ngl its really awkward for me to see Leno with a potato-face and kinda loses the seriousness that he had along with his personality
Bro becomes a d1 kafka dck rider after a few meaningful conversations. All the dude can go on about now is “Hurr durr gotta protect kafka so he doesn’t need to transform” which becomes meaningless later on since Kafka becomes an essential part of his corps literally as strong as his captain.
@@JustGre3d I mean you would change your perspective you had over someone if he selflessly saved your life. And he needed to protect him because NONE of the higher-ups wanted him around once Kafka was revealed to be a Kaiju. Not even Isao wanted to let him live until his daughter convinced him to give Kafka a chance.
And we are talking in the best possible scenario where the higher-ups wanted him dead. They could have simply ignored Isao's daughter and dissect Kafka or even turn him into a numbered weapon without consciousness. That's why all the "hurr durr gotta protect Kafka so he doesn't need to transform"
I finished the manga in one day because it was goated just an opinion
couldn't get into this manga at all. something just felt off for me
It's a manga, not a race, you make it sound like they need to rush the story, the story is done right detailing each different character along with other plot points to give it substance compared to some manga where the story feels rushed with added characters with little relevancy and sudden transitions that don't make sense.
Here's the thing tho, there's nothing interesting being set up to warrant this pacing. The 9th kaiju has been the only villain for over 50 chapters yet his goal is shallow and his means to that goal is predictable. The last interesting thing done was the pterodactyl fight in the 4th volume and that's not good. The characters get stronger only for nothing to be done. There's no mystery or big pay off besides, we beat the baddie. Number 9 should've been written off by now and replaced with a more enticing threat.
Actually nah. I read through the latest chapters and the pacing problems are to do with characters not the plot. Like spoiler warning
The heroine of the story has a fight where it's revealed that she's seen her mother's ghost and the impact is dropped significantly due to a lack of prior knowledge to this. So the author needs to pace story beats better rather than setting it up and solving it in the same fights. Also what erked me was that it was even reflected upon once she won 💀
@@zexal5499 No.9 is the main antagonist, yet there were other antagonists he produced where each other protagonist besides Kafka had enough chapters covering that.
Bleach's main antagonist the entire time was Aizen since the Soul Society arc to Hueco Mundo arc, and those were a lot of chapters containing different antagonists before Aizen made his move in the final chapters of the Hueco Mundo arc, and the franchise was well liked, Even the Frieza arc was said to be long from the DBZ franchise and we all know the DB franchise was always well liked.
kaiju No.8's story duration handling is no different.
@@zexal5499 ??
@@spyro115 yh like I said I've read further and the pacing isn't as slow as others say. If anything it's too fast, the mega kaiju brawl being chapter 80 whereas jjk had Shibuya in the 100s. But yh my only problem now is just the common tell don't show trait where a fight cuts to a flashback. Besides that the story is better than I remembered 👍🏾. Just hope the glaze isn't too much when it's animated
Kaiju are not as cool as people “ try to make them “
Lie
This manga is literally peak fiction
No
casting on twitter is an excellent way to get cooked and show us how capitalism will butcher the current way things are
The stakes too low
anime came out
like damn. let em rest
I genuinely just started skipping pages cause I got bored
Mid No. 8
True. I am thinking about off dropping this series
okay so stop reading it
its incredibly mid, it has no real strength
It didn’t fall off to me
