Episode 22 – Kaiju No. 8 Season 2

Episode 22 Kaiju No. 8 Enter the battle with all your might and become one of the best plots yet.

From action to frame to character selection, I was impressed by the product this week. The whole thing feels thoughtful, well structured and meaningful. Many of my previous complaints about this season didn’t exist, and in fact, I had at least one major hangup event that still existed, but due to how this episode performed, there was no problem.

This is an entry that pays great attention to action. The battle with Kaiju released by No. 9 overpasses in Tokyo has given the Wehrmacht license to eliminate all stops. Shinomiya and Hoshina drive their Kaiju power and relax in the violent craze that is both attractive and compelling. I always feel the power of cool to blow up the cruel monsters, and there is a lot to do this week. Shinomiya’s battle is even more intrinsic (SNARF), with gallons of blood and large pieces of meat falling off. She is a woman of a few words, and her power is more like a standard upgraded suit, so the comments come from onlookers rather than herself or her enemies.

This silent but unquestionable approach works well with the little chattering of the rest of the episode. The relationship between Hoshina and Kaiju 10 is more fragile and performs well in practice. Before the duo was forced to take action, the struggles of classic teamwork abounded—after all the tangles had been crafted—before they really knew how their collaboration would work in the field. Their actual opponents are less threats than they can’t fully sync themselves, and once they finally click, the Big Bug is more like a game. By the end of the fight, I would say that the dynamics of Hoshina and No. 10 are by far the most compelling of the show, and I’m not all the people who invested in Hoshina beforehand, so that’s what it’s saying.

Even the early framed equipment for weddings is super processed. It is related and horrifying, full of simple emotional hooks, but also unique (especially the young bride is fired into the air, close to kaiju’s chin). It provides professional bets for the stage and bets for all Shinomiya and Hoshina parts.

If I have any complaints this week, it is that the Mantis Mux is not that fascinating. We’ve done all this work for Kaiju No. 9 Mad Mind’s new horror creatures, and it’s not fun to spend much of this episode involving fighting a large group of insects. The Hoshina and 10 debate became the center stage, so I can understand why the ambulance is blank slate to reduce the complexity of the scene. I just hope there will be something more complicated after last week’s preview, but we have another bunch of bugs.
