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.

this is my first ever completed shonen and i'm literally obsessed. if you're not used to the graphic images of shonen but all your friends are into shows like demon slayer and jujutsu kaisen, start with this one!!!!

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.

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

This show was really good, the story was so heroic and the fight scenes were so crisp and awesome. Also the sound of attacks is insane! I can't wait for season 2.

What a banger of a series. Loved it. Reminds me of Pacific Rim but replace the robots with human sized Kaiju. Looks like the series will be going down a similar path as AOT and Jujutsu Kaisen.

Characters were great though. We need more MCs that are older and that blonde girl was surprisingly loveable. I didnt expect to like her much since she seemed like the tsundere archetype but she was really fun to watch.

One thing that really surprised me was how quick his secret got exposed towards the end there. I thought Mina wouldnt find out about the Kaiju thing until at least the end of a second season but nah. It did make for one hell of a tense last two episodes though. My favourite part of this series was everytime he turned into his Kaiju form and punched the shit out of the enemy. Same feeling as when Deku or All Might do a smash in MHA.

Cant wait for more of this. This'll definitely be the new shounen I keep up with other then My Hero Acadamia.

The title itself is good, it looks nice. Very typical anime with typical clichés. There is a nuance. If in the course of the season the narration is just rough, simple, the last few episodes... Logic gone, there is just something surreal.

A simple example of how the battle with the Commander could be played out. Kafka starts to cooperate, he is sent to test his abilities. After a few tests, the Commander decides to test the limits of his abilities and mental stability. He informs everyone except Kafka. Then there's this fight. In the end, the commander concludes. Kafka is dangerous, but he can be given a chance.

Okay General Shinomiya is far too based. Man was testing Kafka all along, though it was expected they would let him live, I've to say the episode was quite dramatic but well made. A great 1st season of the anime, very excited about what's to come!

The show really draws inspiration from AOT, like the Titans similar to Kaiju and Erwin similar to Chief Director Shinomiya giving a chance to mc to live.

All and all it was stil a good season can't wait for second season to start from July.

In general, the power measurement hasn’t been explained yet.
Like if he holds this much of power why did he black out in previous episode
Its like the author using emotion to build up story

Turns out the director is on our side! He's not so bad after all, I'm glad he's on Kafka's side. Kafka fell asleep in the middle of their conversation lmaoo
