The 1998 sci-fi action series Eat-Man '98 is now streaming on Crunchyroll, complete with both English dub and subtitled options. The show follows Bolt Crank, a mercenary with the unique ability to consume any object and then regenerate it from his right hand, typically as a weapon. This premise fuels its action-packed, shounen-style adventures.
Produced by Studio Deen, known for its work on titles like Rurouni Kenshin and Konosuba, Eat-Man '98 adapts the manga of the same name. The series delivers a straightforward dose of sci-fi action, focusing on Bolt's mercenary exploits and the often-bizarre applications of his superpower. With 12 episodes, it offers a concise, self-contained story arc.
While not a major critical hit, the series offers a nostalgic look at late 90s anime action and a distinctively weird superpower concept. Its availability on Crunchyroll makes it an easy pick for those curious about older action titles or fans of over-the-top mercenary stories.
