About the anime:
After their town is destroyed by kaiju, childhood friends Kafka Hibino and Mina Ashiro both vow to become members of the Defense Force to fight kaiju together. Mina, now 27, has since become the captain of the Defense Force's Third Division while Kafka, now 32, has failed the examination numerous times and works as a member of a clean-up crew that dispose of kaiju remains after battle. Kafka meets a young part-time worker in his company, Reno Ichikawa, an aspiring Defense Force member, who reignites his desire to become part of the Defense Force. However, a small kaiju enters Kafka's body through his mouth and he gains the ability to turn into a kaiju. After escaping from the Defense Force, Kafka is given the code name "Kaiju No. 8" and decides to apply while keeping his kaiju form a secret.

During the examination to join the Defense Force the applicants are tasked to eliminate a group of yoju led by a stronger honju. Kikoru Shinomiya, a kaiju-slaying prodigy whom Kafka and Reno meet, neutralizes the honju. Kikoru is then attacked by a humanoid kaiju, later named "Kaiju No. 9", who revives the honju and leaves it to kill Kikoru. Kafka transforms while avoiding detection and saves Kikoru who decides to keep his secret. Reno and Kikoru are inducted into the Defense Force as officers while Kafka is accepted as a cadet on the recommendation of the vice-captain of the Third Division, Soshiro Hoshina, who suspects that Kafka is hiding something.

During their first mission to neutralize a giant-class kaiju, Reno and his squadmate, Iharu Furuhashi, are attacked by No. 9. As No. 9 is about to kill Reno, Kafka steps in and stops No. 9 but fails to neutralize it due to the intervention of several Third Division officers. Kafka tries to hide from the officers but is attacked by Soshiro. After a prolonged fight, Kafka disarms the vice-captain and escapes, still maintaining his cover. After the mission, Kafka is officially inducted as an officer. Later, the Third Division base is attacked by a large group of wyvern kaiju led by a humanoid kaiju identified as Kaiju No. 10. The group, led by Soshiro, manage to stall No. 10 long enough for Mina to arrive to destroy it. However, No. 10 orders the wyvern kaiju to gather up and form a bomb to destroy the base to which Kafka transforms in front of the Third Division and punches the bomb away to save the base from destruction. Kafka is, reluctantly, apprehended by Mina and taken into custody to be disposed of.

While imprisoned, Kafka is tested in battle by the Director General of the Defense Force, and Kikoru's father, Isao Shinomiya after Kikoru vouches for Kafka's humanity. Isao fights Kafka using the Numbers 2 weapon made from the remains of Kaiju No. 2. Kafka survives the battle proving that he can control himself while transformed and avoids disposal. In order to prove his usefulness, Kafka is transferred, along with Kikoru, to the First Division led by captain Gen Narumi where they are tasked to prevent another attack on Tokyo planned by No. 9. Kafka, Kikoru and Gen succeed in defeating two versions of No. 9 which are revealed to be decoys. The real one attacks Isao and absorbs him and his Numbers 2 weapon after which No. 9 becomes stronger and prepares for an invasion of Japan with new kaiju.
