>>290838162I wanted it to be medaka box but oh well, never knew about this one, looks cool
>>290838213>never knew about this one,You must be a babe
>>290838162What the hell? I mean, sick, but I never would have guessed this was in the cards. No info on who's doing the ost?
>>290838162So what does he do?
>>290838937He eats metal and can use that metal afterwards, so if he eats a gun he can save that gun later.It's an interesting concept but both of the previous animes were buns because they don't follow the manga and decided to be episodic crap.It's not very famous in the states, but it has a cult following in Brazil and other latino countries because it aired with shit like Evangelion at the time.
>>290838937>Eat-man goes to place>Eat-man meets lady in place>Lady is sad lady has problem>Nothing happens for 22 minutes>Eat-man eats the 5 second animation budget for the episode and makes a big gun>Eat-man shoots problem(off screen)>Roll credits, play sad cowboy bebop guitar music
>>290839331That's in the first anime, which is completely different from the manga. In the manga itself, many other cool and interesting stuff happen, like Bolt's clash and cooperation with the metal parasite Telomere during certain events.>>290839241Eat-Man is actually quite popular in Italy as well.
>>290840440I like the first anime, it has that Lynchian vibe.
Cool, Heat Guy J 2 when?>>290838937He's a man who eats.I also invented eating in the early 90's.
Bolt Crank is one of the most raw names in anime.
>>290840804Certainly up there with things like Burn Burnings, Fatman Big or Shot Weapon
I don't like the mangaka's yuriniggatry>>290840909this season we have an antagonist named Neptune Watergun
>>290841526Who wore a monocle, got hit in the the eye and now wears a black glass monocle on his dead eye. Makes me suspect that either he only wore it as fashion statement and not vision aid, or mangaka couldn'b be bothered to alter the design too much to have him wear both an eyepatch and monocle.
>>290838162I remember reading a few volumes of the manga when I was a teen and liked it. I don't remember much about it, but I remember the MC name.Bolt Crank... Bravo, Kojima.
>>290838162wanted to read the manga but the translation reads left to rightis the original anime a good adaptation?
never watched/read this but i like the mangaka's style. he has a youtube channel where he uploaded some art tutorials that i found helpful
>>290839331holy SOVLLocomotion forever nigga
Saw today he was drawing Bolt Crank again in like yearshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9WjYpCfdkeE
>>290842116No, it's an horrible adaptation, wishing this one is good.Honestly only the first 2 volumes read like that because they were published by VIZ, the rest are scanlated.
>>290842687The quality of the viz volumes is actually better than the most of the series until the final stories. Seriously, it's a tragedy because Mole is legit amazing and deserves quality scans like the spanish scans
Desu i think a storytime for it would be comfy. The author explicitly describes it as something "you read with a cup of tea" so a daily chapter could be great for that.That said, i think the first half is fairly mediocre. Strictly episodic stories work best when you have a cast of characters and Eat-Man doesn't gain one until the Leon arc when hard and that cyber lady become close to bolt, and you have shadow on the background every now and then. After the Leon/Stella arc, it seems like the author learned this so you have Bolt team up with at least one of his buddies and solce a case, and it also toys around with the idea of Bolt's apparent immortality and his honor as an adventurer and in general, i think the quality of the stories is better. And after mole, there's this really comfy vibe of everyone living in the same city and being a team for odd jobs. Really made the end of The Main Dish actually kinda cute as bolt decides to go back to them
Through circumstance while visiting Japan, I met someone who worked on both original series. It was his favorite anime work by far. When asked about any dream projects he would like to work on, he without hesitation said "more Eat-Man" so he must be happy right now.>>290839241This same man tried explaining the premise of Eat-Man by saying "he eat gun" in limited English. It was funny.
>>290842116>>290842687>>290842813Why nobody fixes this? There are hundreds of series that have their pages flipped
Only who eat metal while crying know the taste of adventure
>>290838162Eh… the teaser looks like a cheap adaptation made in some SEA sweetshop, So no hope for this being any decent
>>290841964His name is actually Leon though, he got Bolt Crank from an arc that takes place likely thousands of years before the story takes place.
>>290845374>His name is actually LeonIs it?I thought the whole point of the the stella arc was that he wasn't leon and that Stella was mistaken. Likewise, he already was called Bolt by the time mole kicks in. Mole only explains how/why he became an adventurer.In fact, i'm pretty sure main dish also has his younger self referred as Bolt.
>>290845500Wasnt leon his clone or something like his other half? Its been like a decade since I re read it.
this was the first manga i ever read
Wow, I watched this so long ago.First series OP was pretty good.
>>290845830Iirc, yeah, it was a clone.The whole arc was Stella insisting that Bolt met her a long time ago and they were a couple. But at the end is revealed that Leon wasn't a him. I think it was related to the machines and he changed his body to look like Leon. Although i might be confusing things from Main Dish.
>>290844500I still like the first series, its kino in its own sort of way
This reminds me, for some reason I only watched EATMAN 98, and not the first series. No idea why.
