Crunchyroll has announced that EAT-MAN The Over Order, the TV anime adaptation of Akihito Yoshitomi’s Eat-Man manga, will stream on its service. A new teaser visual for the anime was also revealed.
Masashi Ebara will play main character Bolt Crank, returning from previous Eat-Man anime. Shunji Ōga will direct at Studio Cab, with Yoshitomi writing scripts and providing original designs. Satoshi Hirayama will adapt the designs to suit the anime medium.
The original Eat-Man manga was serialized by Yoshitomi from 1996 to 2003 in MediaWorks’s Dengeki Comic Gao!. The first two volumes were published in English by Viz Media. Yoshitomi also created Eat-Man The Main Dish from 2014 to 2018 in Kodansha’s Monthly Shōnen Sirius.
Two anime series have previously aired: Eat-Man in 1997 and Eat-Man ’98 in 1998. Crunchyroll describes Eat-Man as follows:
Bolt Crank is an “explorer”–a mercenary who only accepts jobs that fits 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, and who despite it all, just wants to be normal.
