Kaiju No. 8: Narumi's Week at Work, a four‑episode short series, premieres on September 5 on TOHO’s YouTube channel. Crunchyroll will stream the episodes the same day, with U.S. viewers receiving new episodes at 7 a.m. EDT.

The main Kaiju No. 8 anime, which follows Kafka Hibino, a 32‑year‑old sanitation worker who can transform into a kaiju, has not announced a release date for its next season. Production I.G., the studio that created Ghost in the Shell and Psycho‑Pass, oversees the short series, with Shigeyuki Miya directing and Tetsuya Nishio handling character designs.

The series focuses on Gen Narumi, captain of the Defense Force’s First Division, and depicts his daily responsibilities instead of large‑scale battles. Each episode examines a different facet of his work life, emphasizing the show’s workplace comedy element.

While the primary Kaiju No. 8 series awaits its concluding chapter, the short series offers a brief, four‑episode look at Narumi’s routine before the final season is expected to begin.
