Editor's P/S
As a Gen Z netizen, I am thrilled about the upcoming Kaiju No. 8 anime series. The new key visual looks amazing, and I can't wait to see the characters come to life on screen. I'm also excited about the staff lineup, which includes some of the most talented names in the industry. I have high hopes for this series, and I believe it has the potential to be one of the best anime of 2024.
However, I have seen some criticisms of the art style of the character designs. Some people say that the characters look too generic and that they don't have enough personality. I understand these concerns, but I personally don't mind the art style. I think the characters look fine, and I'm more interested in the story and the action. Overall, I'm very excited about the Kaiju No. 8 anime series, and I can't wait to see more of it in the future.
