Kaiju No. 8
Kaiju No. 8 streams on Crunchyroll, and it's one of the most crowd-pleasing recent shonen debuts. In a Japan constantly besieged by giant monsters, a man well past the usual hero age, Kafka Hibino, cleans up kaiju corpses while quietly dreaming of joining the Defense Force that slays them. Then a strange creature infects him and he gains the power to become a kaiju himself, hiding a monster's body inside a career spent hunting them. Slick action, an unusually grown-up underdog, and a killer creature-feature hook.
About
Japan endures more monster attacks than anywhere on earth, and the Defense Force exists to put those kaiju down. Kafka Hibino once swore he would join their ranks, but years later he's stuck on cleanup duty, hauling away the corpses the soldiers leave behind. A chance encounter with a small, strange creature changes everything: Kafka can now transform into a kaiju himself. Suddenly the man who spent his life on the sidelines has a monster's power and a monster's secret to keep, even as he finally chases the dream he'd all but abandoned.
