Kaiju No. 8 Anime Produced at Production I.G and Khara, Teaser Trailer Debuts

An anime adaptation was announced for Naoya Matsumoto’s hit manga Kaiju No. 8 back in August, and now we have a teaser trailer and more information. The series is gearing up for a 2024 premiere, with Production I.G on animation production and Evangelion rebuild film production house Studio Khara on kaiju designs. 

You can see a brief glimpse at some footage in the new teaser: 

The Kaiju No. 8 manga has been running in Shonen Jump+ since July 2020. VIZ Media publishes the manga in English and describes it like so: 

Kafka hopes to one day keep his pact with his childhood friend Mina to join the Japan Defense Force and fight by her side. But while she’s out neutralizing kaiju as Third Division captain, Kafka is stuck cleaning up the aftermath of her battles. When a sudden rule change makes Kafka eligible for the Defense Force, he decides to try out for the squad once more. There’s just one problem—he’s made the Defense Force’s neutralization list under the code name Kaiju No. 8.
