This week on Our Anime Show we are bringing you our first thoughts on the Kaiju No. 8 pilot episode out on Crunchyroll NOW!
We discussed the character design, voice acting, music and much more going in depth to analyze the first episode and our predictions for what is to come.

Kaiju No. 8 Synopsis:


"In a world plagued by threatening creatures known as Kaiju, Kafka Hibino aspired to enlist in the Japan Defense Force to defeat them. 'Let's wipe out the Kajju together.' Kafka pledged to his childhood friend, Mina Ashiro. Over time, life circumstances forced them to go their separate ways and caused him to abandon his lifelong ambition. He found himself employed by Monster Sweeper, Inc., a professional cleaning company that specializes in cleaning up the aftermath of Kaiju battles."
"Meanwhile, Mina Ashiro is now the Captain of the Defense Force's 3rd Division. As it stands, he is currently unworthy of fighting Kaiju alongside her. At work, Kafka crosses paths with the highly motivated Reno Ichikawa. Reno's undying determination to join the Defense Force leaves no room for failure. His perseverance reawakens Kafka's ambition of standing next to Mina as they protect humanity from Kaiju together. A dream frozen by time, thawed by a burning promise."

We also touched on some news stories from this week such as the virality of Mashle Season 2 opening "Bling-Bang-Bang-Born" by Japanese hip-hop dup Creepy Nuts.
There was an article put out by CBR with an exclusive interview with Toho Animation's CEO on how My Hero Academia paved the way for the anime we love today. the article mentions shoes such as Jujustu Kaisen, Frieren Beyond Journey's End and more.
