A teaser trailer, visual, and 2024 release date have been revealed for the Kaiju No. 8 anime adaptation. It was also announced that Production I.G is the animation production studio for the show while Studio Khara is handling the kaiju designs.

Kaiju No. 8 is based on the Shueisha-published manga by Naoya Matsumoto, which began in 2020 and has eight tankoubon volumes as of November 2022. It is serialized on Shonen Jump + and published under the Jump Comics label.

Viz Media describes the story as:

Kafka hopes to one day keep his pact with his childhood friend Mina to join the Japan Defense Force and fight by her side. But while she’s out neutralizing kaiju as Third Division captain, Kafka is stuck cleaning up the aftermath of her battles. When a sudden rule change makes Kafka eligible for the Defense Force, he decides to try out for the squad once more. There’s just one problem—he’s made the Defense Force’s neutralization list under the code name Kaiju No. 8.
