release dates of anime Kaiju No. 8

In a world where giant monsters called kaiju regularly threaten humanity, an elite military force exists to eliminate these creatures. Kafka Hibino, a man in his thirties, works in kaiju cleanup – disposing of the remains after battles end. Despite his unglamorous job, he once dreamed of joining the Defense Force alongside his childhood friend Mina Ashiro, who has become a celebrated captain. When a mysterious parasite-type kaiju infiltrates his body, Kafka gains the ability to transform into a kaiju himself, designated as Kaiju No. 8 by the Defense Force. Now possessing superhuman abilities but labeled as a threat, Kafka must navigate his dual existence while pursuing his long-abandoned dream of joining the Defense Force. The series blends action, humor, and heartfelt moments as Kafka struggles to prove himself worthy while hiding his monstrous secret from those hunting kaiju.
