Why Kaiju Number Eight Turns Midlife Failure Into a Power Fantasy
-
Narrated by:
-
By:
Mia came in arguing that a thirty-two-year-old janitor makes the best shonen hero in years and dared Jin to disagree. He half-agreed, which for Jin is basically a breakdown. Together they go deep on Kafka's midlife detonation, the Narumi team-up, Kikoru's rescue dive, Hoshina's blades, and whether this is a power fantasy in a character-study costume or the other way around. Ruling and score at the end.
