Kaiju No. 8 episode 8 review
SO! (As Sajak starts out pretty much every sentence.) So, “Sir” gets chased down by the guy who resembles Gin Ichimaru, former Squad 3 Captain and host of many nightmares. Instead of doing the smart thing and saying, “Hey, look, I’m a human who has no intention of hurting any other humans,” Sir decides that he’s going to keep things a secret, because that always works. Eventually, Sir gets away and Gin Ichimaru is left wondering what the hell is going on out there.
Then we get a big victory feast. “Everyone’s getting along!” Suddenly everyone starts fighting. “Wow there’s so much tension!” Suddenly everyone starts working through their problems. The humor in this episode wasn’t bad, but you’ve got to do better than that to get me to even form a smile on my face. Right now the only anime capable of doing that is Dragon Ball Z Kai, and that’s all unintentional humor (“He blew himself up for nothing!”)
Nevertheless, I like this show, and this episode. Just please try not to be so cliche.
Best girl of the episode: Mina
Episode rating: 7/10
