Listen, child. This is full-stop action with a thin slice of plot pushed into the middle. But it's engaging! The kaiju antagonists get annoying with "no you - reverse uno cards," but the fight scenes are dynamic. The ending is a doozy, so I can't wait to see the fallout.

3.5

This story is so simple but manages to be entertaining. I like the new character addition. The anti-kaiju leader is both a manchild but totally competent.

Also, I'm enjoying Kikoru's character direction. She's more than the spoiled rich girl now.

Per chi piace il genere...

Vice-Captain Soshiro Hoshino really steals the show in the opening chapters as we find out a little about his background and a lot about his level of dedication to his captain. A terrific battle against Kaiju No. 10 full of sacrifice and soldierly comradeship segues into a testing of the strength of various friendships as the status quo gets abruptly topples and protagonist Kafka Hibino faces a new deadly challenge. Good stuff!
