An action-oriented shounen with stellar kaiju battles. But take it for what it is than what it promises to be.

The first season of Kaiju No.8 is a fair enough start for another piece of generic battle shonen.
N
Noobscored 80/100
Kaiju No. 8 packs epic kaiju battles and killer animation. Despite familiar beats, it's a must-watch for shounen fans.

Kaijuu Mid-Gou. If this is the mainstream then it has become a veritable mark of our fall from grace.
