Kaiju No 8 Crunchyroll Anime Naruto Tailed Beasts
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT When discovering the new hit anime adaptation of Kaiju No. 8, featured on Crunchyroll and X, it's bold to compare it to Naruto or its spin-offs. After all, at the start of their stories, Kafka Hibino, Kaiju's protagonist, is twenty years older than Naruto Uzumaki. However, the common trait Kaiju No. 8 shares with the modern Shonen classic is also one of its fundamental concepts.
It features a protagonist who feels like his dreams of fighting monsters in the Defense Force have come and gone, forced to live a life of mediocrity as part of the beast innards cleanup crew. With over 13 million copies sold in under four years, Kaiju No. 8 is an undeniable success, and its anime debut is already generating buzz and comparisons to Naruto, especially for one element: the sheer massive scale of the fights.
However, the Kaiju subgenre trait shared by these two series is no accident. Both are inspired by Godzilla, with Kaiju No. 8 heavily inspired by Ultraman. In the case of Naruto, it's less overt. Still, the series creator Masashi Kishimoto has discussed how Godzilla and other Kaiju inspired the Tailed Beasts:
With Kaiju fiction rising, GodzillaMinus One generating record highs in box office revenue and nabbing Oscar gold, and Kaiju No. 8 hitting Crunchyroll and X, the world wants more. Naruto may have cleverly worked in some Kaiju action beneath the market-safe ninja hook for which it's famous, but the audience craves more of this genre.
