As the summer of 2025 approaches, fans of Kaiju No. 8 are eagerly awaiting the return of Kafka Hibino’s monster-human saga. The second season, confirmed to premiere in July 2025, promises even more intense kaiju battles and character development. Here’s what we know so far.
Kaiju No. 8 Season 2 Release Date
While an exact date hasn’t been announced, Kaiju No. 8 Season 2 is set to hit screens in July 2025. Crunchyroll will simulcast the series, mirroring its Season 1 release. Fans speculate a mid-July drop, possibly July 12 or 19, based on typical anime schedules.
Before Season 2 roars in, fans can catch Kaiju No. 8: Mission Recon, a Season 1 recap film with a new episode titled “Hoshina’s Day Off.” This will screen in the U.S. and Canada from April 13-16, 2025, and has already been shown in Japan. It serves as a perfect hype bridge to keep the kaiju fever alive.
What to Expect
Season 2 picks up after Kafka’s hospital stint, with him joining Gen Narumi’s First Division. The trailer teases bigger battles and Kafka’s hybrid powers under scrutiny. Fans expect the Kaiju Weapon Arc, with No. 9’s attack looming large. The series promises to deliver peak comedy and kaiju action, making it a potential 2025 anime chart-topper.
Final Thoughts
The anticipation is palpable. Fans love Kafka’s unique character, who isn’t your typical teen prodigy but a 32-year-old with a kaiju twist. With 15 million manga copies sold and significant trailer views, the demand for Season 2 is undeniable.
Mark your calendars for July 2025 when Kaiju No. 8 Season 2 hits Crunchyroll.
