Finally I can watch this!!!! ππ I've been so looking forward to this show. Idk if you guys go back to read comments on previous videos but just a fun fact π In pure fan-terminology context, a kaijΕ« is any creature that is significantly large in scale. Kaiju as a word also refers to the genre of media that includes these giant creatures. The origins of the term are hard to trace, and can be found in early Japanese literature and folklore. Some examples of popular Kaiju would be Godzilla and King Kong π€

It took me a while to watch this one, was so very busy and not feeling well this week, today I pretty much binged watched everything on this Patreon since last Sunday until today, I mean JJK, Haikyuu and several HxH episodes, plus Kaiju No. 8 on the same day felt weird to me, it's was a ride but loved it! I feel like this is going to be a very interesting watch with you guys, it has some comedy in it that might be a bit unusual to you but funny nonetheless. Keep up your amazing work! Love from Colombia! β€οΈ

2024-09-16 01:48:38 +0000 UTCThis is a great anime so far / watched the whole first arc already. Crank up the volume on the anime, it was very quiet. Love you guys!

2024-09-15 23:35:52 +0000 UTCI hadnΒ΄t heard of this anime before, but this first episode was so so good. It got me excited to learn more about this new world together with you! Obviously it looks like Mina has some sort of resentment towards Kafka, after calling him a liar for him not being by her side when she is afraid or scared. This made me wonder if there is something more going on. Especially, because she didn't even acknowledge him as the person she saved earlier. I just feel like that behaviour is very strange over something Kafka said to her as young kids. Well, if there is something more we will find out soon enough! Can't wait for the next episode!

2024-09-15 20:23:02 +0000 UTCThis show is top tier already. The pacing of the first episode was executed beautifully, we got so much info and world building in less than 30 minutes. This show is like a perfect mix of comedy and action with awesome music, which speaking of, I'm super looking forward to yall watching the opening intro, it's so different from other shows I've seen but SO GOOD. And yes I totally get AoT vibes too! You have a world where humanity fights back against monsters that continously terrorize them and the main character then becomes one! I'm so excited to watch this again with yall.

2024-09-15 18:28:44 +0000 UTCPutrid is a word and it was used correctly π€£ I'm so excited that yall are starting this. I'd hate to see the insurance infanstructure in a world where this is the reality. Mina went and got her a cat that can withstand Kaiju after poor Miiko. She (Mina) is Bae π Excited for this journey with yall Also when you say you get "insert random anime vibes" you'll feel that way about lots of moments in different animes in the Shonen genre. There's lots of similar thematic elements amongst them all

2024-09-15 17:03:34 +0000 UTCKaiju ("Monster") are monstrous creatures of various shapes and sizes. It is not clear where exactly they appear and where they came from originally, but it is known that they have existed for at least hundreds of years and have always attacked human settlements. In attack reports, people often divide kaiju into two classes of Honju ("Main Threat") and Yonju ("Associated Threat"). Yonju, being smaller and weaker individuals, accompany Honju, following him or even being inside his body. Kafka is a humanoid Kaiju and became one after a small flying Kaiju got into his mouth

2024-09-15 16:55:45 +0000 UTCI haven't seen this one, so I'm excited to watch this along with you and this community. Lezz go, lezz go!! Edit after watching: Jordan made me laugh so hard there when he just muttered "Gakuganji??!" π One Republic, like "it's too late to apologize..??" πΆ That's kinda cool!! Anyways, I'm now hooked! I haven't really seen this anime yet, but I'm liking the plot and the comedy that's incorporated in this. Kinda giving that JJK vibe for me, not AOT coz that's way too serious. I'm wondering what happened between Mina and Kafka. Seems like there's something deeper there π₯Ί And not sure, but I think the Yoju came from the dead Kaiju?! I don't want to search about it, coz just like you, I'm going into this for the first time. So yeah, let's get curious and confused together, mah FAVE brothers!! Thanks for this episode, see you in the next! π
