But Was It Totally Deserving?

A Newer And Bolder Take On Anime

Any anime fan that hasn’t watched the series, well, this is the perfect call, isn’t it? And without spoiling much of the story, a basic summary would be that the protagonist, Kafka Hibino, lives his life as a member of the kaiju cleanup crew and suddenly gets the power to transform into a kaiju himself. A protagonist that isn’t the generic teenage boy with cool powers nor a cliché chosen one is a bold take and one that works very well here. The premise of this is unique, combining personal drama with thrilling action and a new take on the kaiju genre.

Critically acclaimed and fostering an ever-growing fan base thanks to its dynamic storytelling, coupled with high-quality animation and deeply relatable characters. The creative passion of the production team has earned them the “Best Anime Series” award even though the competition was insane! Winning among series like Dandadan and Re:Zero is no small feat. It means recognition of the series’ big narrative and more forward-looking approach, which is no joke in this saturated field of anime.

Kaiju No. 8 accomplishes this win, as well as represents the rise of anime in general. A new series that pushes genre boundaries is, in fact, successful because people want to see storytelling that’s redefining traditional notions. It really reignites creators to discover new stories and complex characters that push this medium forward.
