Kaiju No 8: Mission Recon

"Kafka" had tried to join the elite defence force but had realised his own limitations and instead taken up a job cleaning up after them as they police a Japan frequently assaulted by deadly "Kaiju". When team gets a newbie, "Ishikawa", this younger lad politely but pointedly stresses that he is aiming for more, but he understands why his new colleague "quit"! Subliminally provocative? Well as the pair start to work together, the former man starts to get a little of his mojo back and so when the Force extends it's age limits, he decides to have another go. Meantime, his would-be colleagues are facing their biggest challenge ever as the mysterious and powerful "Kaiju No. 8" continues to evade them. Now we know a little more about that that the soldiers do, and that helps tee this story up for quite a dramatic ending that tests loyalty, trust and friendships across the board as peril ebbs ever closer and the monsters starts to acquire some distinctly zombie traits. This is a solidly executed and quickly paced adventure that spends a little time building the characters, but for the most part just engages us in an action-packed squash the baddies festival with plenty of squelching and loads of gunge and goo covering the street as and "Kaiju" and buildings prove to be collateral damage during the battles. There's a bit of sarcasm hidden in the dialogue which I quite liked, and the messages of team playing, inter-reliance and of age not necessarily being a barrier to attaining your goals are here but not laboured. Stick around after the credits, there's another twenty minutes or so that serves to humanise some of these folks, and if you're looking for a colourfully vibrant series of shoot/slice/blow 'em ups, then this is for you. Not quite sure how menacing the "sunflower thrust" would be, though...?

Story Is ALWAYS Better Then Its Summery.

Kaiju No.8: MISSION RECON is a compilation movie of the first season of the Kaiju No.8 anime.I have already watched the season, and I only wanted to see this movie because of an extra episode (Hoshina's Day Off), which is placed in the last 20 minutes of the movie.The extra episode was all right; it had nothing to do with the overall story and felt more like a filler episode.I wouldn't consider this a proper summary of the actual season because a lot of plot is missing in the movie. Episodes 11 and 12 are not included, and they are very important for understanding the story and following into the next season.If someone is new to Kaiju No.8, I would suggest that they watch the actual season instead of the movie, as it is much better and more entertaining.

Better than I expected, but beware the ending, completely different tone.

Had to see it on the big screen and it did not disappoint me. Usually theaters have the sound too low when they are playing special anime features, but not this time at the Alamo. They did a good job condensing the first season into a movie. There were only a couple places where the jumps in time didn't work. The problem though is the first three quarters is exciting, dramatic and funny, whereas the ending is a slice of life comedy that just feels completely out of place. If you have already watched the tv series it shouldn't bother you, but if you haven't it will seem really weird. Remember to stay when the first credits start rolling, they come on twice before the actual ending I think?Enjoy!
