Kaiju No.8 Anime Announcement?
Unfortunately, we have no word from any official sources which state that the anime will happen. Therefore as of now, we know nothing. The reason for this might be a lack of content. Kaiju No.8 has around 30 chapters in its bag. Usually, a manga gets an anime adaptation only after 100-120 chapters have been released. Therefore, Kaiju No.8 anime is not a near-future possibility. The series mostly gets updates thrice a month. Considering this routine, Kaiju No.8 will reach 100 chapters in about two years. Hence, its anime does not seem any close.
Kaiju No.8 Anime Release Date
If we have enough content in two years that is in 2023, we can expect Kaiju No.8 Anime the following year. Going with the desirable scenario, the anime might be announced in December 2023 at the Shueisha Jump Fest Event. The event usually becomes witness to Shueisha’s anime adaptations and fans expect a similar case with Kaiju No.8. If that happens, we might see Kaijus in motion by April or July 2024. For now. weebs speculate it to be in the pre-planning stage.
