Synopsis:
Bolt Crank is a mercenary, but he's no ordinary
man. He's gifted with the ability to eat metal objects. Later,
he can produce these items from his right hand, as the need
arises. Bolt is the strong silent type-he doesn't say much and
prefers to let his actions speak for themselves. And in the
course of this series, Bolt will serve as protector to many
people. He will hunt down a murderer who is brutally killing
scientists, protect an entire country, and destroy a demon.
And that's just the first disc! All 12 episodes - the entire
series - on one low-priced 2 disc set!

DVD REVIEW:
Eatman 98 Collected
surprised many anime DVD collector's for it's low price and it
featured all 12 episodes on one DVD. Remember, this is coming
at a time when many DVD's are being released via one episode only
or collections that cost way over $50.
This is not the case
with Eatman `98 Collected. But the thing is with such a low price,
there have to be some limitations and there are with this DVD.
For one, since the series
didn't sell to well in the US, unfortunately, for dub fans, they
will only get to see the first two episodes dubbed and they would
have to watch the other episodes via English subs and Japanese
dialogue but to me, as a Japanese dialogue/English sub advocate,
this doesn't bother me at all.
Second, there are no
special features.
So, it all depends on
how you feel about a DVD with many episodes for a low price vs.
a collection with no special features and a complete English dub
track.
As for the series, the
series is about a mercenary turned protector with an uncanny ability
to eat metal objects and reproduce it via his right hand (ex:
a gun). It sounds kind of hokey but actually it's an enjoyable
anime.
There is no story-arc,
each episode is a different adventure in the life of Bolt Crank
but all in all the DVD is worth the purchase for the low cost.
THE SERIES: B+
THE DVD EXTRAS: F
THE DVD OVERALL: C+
