43 minutes Posted Aug 23, 2020 at 12:06 pm.

Intro

What have we all been playing/watching/reading? (Food Wars, various Switch games and more)

Kaiju No 8 Discussion begins!

early question: Do we still want a manga about a Kaiju clean-up crew? (actually gets answered at 11:47, whoops)

What do we want from the series going forward?

Q&A section BEGINS! First Q, where do the Kaiju come from?

Nature of the new humanoid Kaiju that attacked the exam? Are all kaiju infected animals and humans by the sort of bugs that infected Kafka?

Does Kaiju No. 8 have the potential to be Jump's next big thing?

Thoughts on the insect that infected Kafka? Motives, etc

How do we feel about the art style?

Closing thoughts! Sign-offs, plugs, etc

Show notes

Monsters attack as the Hideaway Defense Force take on Jump+'s new hotly discussed Kaiju-themed battle manga, Kaiju No. 8! Does it have the potential to be a heavy-hitter? What does it need to improve on? Opinions were a tad split on this one so there was plenty to discuss! Also Hovin has a Switch now and will apparently bring this up at every possibility, like it or not. Heaven help us.

Kastor: Repeat of the Maximillian Pegasus joke from the episode on Shonen Battle movies' description. Yes I'm using a description gag as an excuse to shill the last episode :P
