Kaiju No. 8 Watch Order
4 entries · · community-maintained
The Kaiju No. 8 watch order is Season 1, the Mission Recon compilation film, the Hoshina's Day Off special and Season 2, in chronological order with the gag shorts left out. Start with the 12-episode 2024 first season. Kaiju No. 8: Mission Recon (2025) condenses that season into a film and is skippable if you have seen the show; its only new material is Hoshina's Day Off, a 20-minute side story set between the seasons that is also available on its own, which is why it sits right before Season 2. Season 2 (11 episodes, 2025) continues directly from the Season 1 finale. The minute! Kaiju No. 8 comedy shorts are not part of the story and are not included. If you are wondering where to start or whether the movie is required, the answer is Season 1 first, and the film only if you want a refresher before Season 2.
