My Review of Kaiju No. 8 Season 2 320https://preview.redd.it/newkeyvisualforkaijuno8season2v044lqbwzloa4f1.jpeg?auto=webps=40f5d88b2b3c5fa40601300dfee547ec6cc65e64 The ending of Kaiju No. 8 S2 was both hype but also frustrating. Since this is a sequel I will skip the usual story and characters section and dive straight into The Good The Bad and The Downright Ugly. The Good This season of Kaiju No 8 elevated the drama and cranked the action up to 11. There was definitely a more serious tone put into this season compared to the first as more problems arose. There were a couple of shocking moments in this season and watching a lot of Kafkas friends grow stronger and stronger was nice to see as the focus of the story shifted to not just focus on Kafkas struggles with Kaiju No. 8 and Kaiju No. 9 but also his friends own struggles and character development. Once again Kaiju No. 8 does a spectacular job producing catchy and fitting tracks for their OP and ED having AURORA perform a dramatic OP and OneRepublic return to create another catchy and more slowed down ED. I think this seasons purpose was to be a transition period between last season and hopefully next season where things will turn from a fun somewhat comedic show to a much more serious and actionpacked anime. 320https://statico.soapcentral.com/editor/2025/09/446fe17584493813116.jpg?w=640 The Bad I think that the pacing of this season couldve been improved on. There were certain points of the story where I thought that this battles going on for too long or this moment felt too short and needs to be expanded on. I just needed more time to marinate and truly understand the weight and impact of certain scenes compared to others. There definitely werent as many comedic moments in this season compared to season one because of the serious tones and scenarios this time around which is kind of disappointing but not too bad. What really pissed me off was the ending. Youre telling me that this show builds up all these characters and this entire storyline just for the final episode to end on a cliffhanger where we dont get to see the final event or most of the events for the final battle? Thats just bad pacing on their behalf in my opinion. Maybe if this show had 12 episodes instead of 11 like the first season they wouldve been able to show something for the final fight but alas we got nothing. 320https://fwmedia.fandomwire.com/wpcontent/uploads/2025/09/27123546/kaijuno8season2episode11review.jpg The Downright Ugly That ending was frustrating but not downright ugly. 320https://staticg.sportskeeda.com/editor/2025/08/a3225175475524078411920.jpg Is It Worth The Watch? Dont watch Kaiju No.8 Season 2 before Season 3 comes out trust me. With how this season ended itll leave you hanging on your seat waiting for at least a year for the results to show. When season 3 releases this season will probably be worth the watch but as of right now just hold on to your seatbelts just a little longer. Thank you for taking the time to read my review. I hope this helped you with your decision on whether to watch this anime or not If you already have watched it I hope that you can agree with me with some of the points I made. If you enjoyed this review I would greatly appreciate a follow too
