Re:Monster

After a sudden death, Tomokui Kanata wakes up as a weak goblin in a dangerous fantasy world. He keeps memories from his former life, but his new body brings a strange ability: each meal can increase his strength and grant new traits. Rather than staying tiny, he uses that power to feed, learn, and build influence among other goblins and monsters. With a keen tactical mind and a growing appetite, he climbs the social ladder to become a leader, reshaping what goblins can do while testing the limits of morality, loyalty, and survival in a world that treats monsters as disposable. He experiments with various prey to gain new traits and organizes other monsters into a clan.

Released in 2024, Re:Monster adapts the original work by Kogitsune Kanekiru with contributions from Hiroshi Yamaguchi and Haruyoshi Kobayakawa, and notably features Takuya Sato, Kenta Hosoda, Ai Kakuma, Kana Ueda, and Aya Yamane in key voice roles.

As of 2024 it hasn't picked up major industry awards, but it has gotten recognition in fan polls and online discussion for its voice cast and atypical isekai premise. Critics and viewers have noted the adaptation's faithfulness to its source and the strength of performance by its lead actors.

Re:Monster's 'eat-to-power' mechanic and its perspective from a monster's point of view helped it stand out among recent fantasy anime. The series generated fan art, reaction videos, and cosplay, and it sparked debates about ethics in power systems, making it a lively subject across anime forums and social platforms.
