Kaiju No. 8 Anime and Manga Designs Don’t Compare
Twitter user MangakaSelim uploaded a side-by-side comparison of the manga designs of Kaiju No. 8 with the anime. Visually, there is a more mature, somber look to the characters in the manga than in the anime. The anime characters are also more circular in design, foregoing the angular look of the manga. Certain characters from the series have also been slightly redesigned for the anime, such as Reno Ichikawa no longer having spiky hair. While the quality of the anime art style for Kaiju No. 8 is subjective, the differences between it and the source material are enough to cause concern for longtime readers.
