Kaiju No. 8: Narumi’s Week at Work will premiere on September 5 as a four-episode original short anime. New episodes will arrive weekly on Saturdays, with the Japanese release scheduled for 8:00 p.m. JST through the TOHO animation YouTube channel and other services.


Crunchyroll says it will stream the series across North America, Central America, South America, Europe, Africa, Oceania, and the Middle East and CIS. That broad distribution gives international viewers additional Kaiju No. 8 content following the anime’s first two television seasons, although exact regional release times have not been announced.


The short centers on First Division captain Gen Narumi and offers a look at his life away from the main series’ larger battles. Its story draft is credited to Kizuku Watanabe, creator of the comedy spinoff manga Kaiju No. 8 Relax, and a promotional trailer has been released ahead of the premiere.
