This show has been such a disappointment. And yes, I know it's only been 12 episodes but I've seen more iconic moments created in 2. I probably will not be expecting much from the fans who watch or read this because they are clearly blindsided by something. It takes a lot inspiration but fails to establish it's own unique world without being overly tropey; I'll leave it at that.

To all the people commenting about how predictable and very shonen like it is. Honestly I would go for a traditional shonen. Animation is good, story is decent, follows every trope I super duper want it to be. Coming from just finishing JJK. Sometimes you want to drink Cola because it’s classic consistent and most of all delicious. This is how I see this series. Plus the kaiju designs are cool.

A shounen anime that has middle aged man as the MC, that's a 10/10, because i can somehow relate to it, because it's never too late to draw out our own potentials, looking forward for a 2nd season

Some rough edges but overall was a very enjoyable show. I don't think the MC being over the age of 30 made much difference since he still acts like typical shounen MC but he was still ok.

The power hype/feats seem to be a little weird. Mina is considered the strongest but all we see her do is fire her BFG, Hoshina and Isao was power feats are better presented. The latter literally using Kaiju no. 2 powered gauntlets which was badass. And it seems everyone besides Kikoru is mainly consider fodder vs. Kaiju. Reno is at least smart to use freeze rounds but that's about it.

Wish more was touched on about the humaniod Kaiju, where or why exactly are they popping up. No.10 clearly had a defined goal in mind attacking not only the base but the strongest at the base. No.9 can turn into human form like Kafka and just lurking the shadows.

Glad it got a 2nd season announcement but there is a lot to touch on that I'm interested in seeing play out. Will be thinking about that super catchy Opening song for a while too. SAV AAH AAH AAAHVE MY LIFE!

@ToshiroChan Having an MC thats not a teen is something fresh that adults can relate to as well.

It also made his maturity believable unlike 13yo MCs who act too old for their age. At first I didnt think I will enjoy this but I did.

The end of the fight against Shinomiya was still great especially how Kafka could take back control of his body and hit himself instead of killing him, breathtaking moment. Mina speaking in Kafka's favor was also nice to see, now it's good that they're making him comeback as a weapon to use instead of executing him, I think it's a really good ending point especially with some other Kaiju attack teasing and it makes us hyped for the next season!! Really good adaptation overall, it was better than what I expected tbh and the animation was on top.

I don't understand why the MC insisted on joining the DF when he has superpowers. Its like if Superman insisted on joining the Navy Seals as Clark Kent, only accomplishing a fraction of his potential. And he's terrible at it too. Yeah, the Df will probably want to kill him but once he proves himself as a superhero they'll have no choice but to tolerate him, which is pretty much how this season ended anyway.

MC is a bit of a dumb ass all in all lol. Like, stick to your strengths dude lol.

The last episode. We will see what it can do. It is currently teetering between 9 and 10. He splits himself apart to pull off another attack. If he tries to use human common sense in this fight, he’s going to regret it. They are engaged in a battle across time. Two numbers face off. Perhaps he is being given a chance. Actions are the only thing that matter. He must find a way to stop this. Almost time to keep her promise. But she still believes in him. Monched once again. A hand reaches his in the abyss. He breaks free from his body. And redeclairs his humanhood. Even so he never gave up. He tries harder and Cares deeper than anyone else. He held her hand. He has the most humanity. She trusts him with her life. He would rather die as a human than fully become the monster. The only conclusion is that he has a monster, but it is yet to be determined if he is an enemy. Their forces must act at maximum efficiency. Precedent means nothing in such a situation. Six was responsible for the top commanders tragedy. She needs to get stronger so she can stop him if she needs to. He lives on. He already knew. He has perfected chess. The next phase of their plan. Time to bring the kaiju power that festers within humanity back to the kaijus. At least a nine I’ll have to see if I think counts is at 10. I wish it was a bit longer, but it wasn’t bad in this concise form, I guess I wish that the second season was sooner. Freak/Flip it. I’ll give it a ten for now, it’s a weak 10, but I think it barely deserves it currently. It’s not top 10 but it’s close enough. It is still very much a possibility that it drops down to a strong, nine. As I wasn’t completely blown away, but I was quite impressed. I have been known to have a slight regency bias, although I don’t know if this applies here. The only theoretical flaw that I can come up with is that it is quite predictable quite often, but for me, this was never in an annoying way, and so I don’t currently know of any direct flaws. (I didn’t see the big mass in the sky coming, if I had I would have been annoyed but I didn’t do it doesn’t apply.) For example, generally, the predictability came in me, hoping that something would happen and then it did , when the child was scared I thought to myself it would be crazy if she thanked him, and then she did, the same thing with the salute towards the end, it was also obvious that the one girl was going to end up in trouble, and this would be the thing that inspires him to transform , but the reason it was obvious was because it was set up so well. Some of the surprise scenes are quite similar, but I believe they are different enough to not feel repetitive and that they work quite well. One could make the argument that it has one of if not the greatest intro, For some reason, this intro was recommended to me months ago, and I watched it then, but with the context of the show, it’s a bit better. Usually I think 3d in anime is bad but the distinction between the intro and the rest worked well, additionally, I was only rarely able to identify it when it was in the show portion. My main issue previously being that it was always obvious and jarring when it was used. It was not here . The music is great, Even though I am generally a musician by trade, I rarely find myself noticing the music in shows, although here the music consistently I was able to observe enhancing scenes significantly. Number nine and number 10 are two of my favorite character designs in anything. And all the rest are great as well. It is extremely fast paced, but I would consider that a positive aspect, it didn’t feel like it was too fast. It tells a high-quality story simply and efficiently. The only episode that got a 4 was the character development one which was necessary and only got it because it didn’t actively impress me. But I’m not sure how it would have been better. It just had to happen and get out of the way for the rest of the show. It isn’t the most original of concepts, although the core concept is something that is always going to heavily appeal to me, so for me it didn’t have to be original. It just had to do it well and it did. 5

Very good episode, he almost came out very bad but he managed to take control at the end thanks to Mina and what beautiful words you said about him.
So they postponed his execution and he's going to take advantage of his skills against the enemy like JJK.
Honestly you are right, from a biological point of view.... Kafka is no longer human, he has no heart... he has a core, he can regenerate and take the form of a kaijuu but after that, everything else is human
UHH the other Kaijuu is putting together his plan, gathering information, improving his abilities I think, etc.
From what he said at the end, I get the implication that the Kaijuus created what's inside Kafka but it didn't turn out the way they expected.
Very good anime, now I understand why it was talked about at the time.... I'm going to put on the watchlist the next season
