EAT-MAN the Complete Series Blu-ray

Eat-Man the Complete Series contains episodes 1-12 of Eat-Man directed by Kōichi Mashimo and episodes 1-12 of Eat-Man 98 directed by Toshifumi Kawase, in standard definition.

In Eat-Man, Bolt Crank is an “explorer”–a mercenary who only accepts jobs that fit his moral standards. Even so, explorers like him are rarely trusted, and employment–both in getting and also doing the job–is hazardous. However, despite the fact Bolt says it’s the only job he’s any good at, he’s also the best explorer around. Moreover, he has a unique ability. He’s able to eat anything at all, and later can reproduce it wholly intact and functional! As an enigmatic man of few words, it’s hard to understand someone who can do something so strange, whose only skill involves taking dangerous jobs for money, and who despite it all, just wants to be normal. In a mysterious world of advanced technology and weird science, it seems that some things never change. Watch Bolt’s adventures in this twelve episode series!

In Eat-Man 98, this retake of Eat-Man shifts the saga of Bolt Crank closer to that of the original story penned by Akihito Yoshitomi. In it, the world is one of contrasting extremes, of high technology but low lifestyles, all mixed with fairy tale-like super science. Bolt returns as the best explorer in the world, a mercenary who, while only accepting jobs he finds moral, always gets the job done… even if he sometimes takes them to ironic extremes in order to do the right thing! Possessed of his own strange power, Bolt can eat anything and then later recreate it, which he uses to help him solve the problems his explorer lifestyle often puts him up against. See the fable that was originally envisioned in these twelve episodes!
