Kemono Jihen is currently streaming in Australia on Crunchyroll and Crunchyroll Amazon Channel, and in the US on Crunchyroll and Crunchyroll Amazon Channel, and its 8/10 TMDB rating reflects what viewers who've already found it know. A tightly focused run that doesn't overstay its welcome.
Japanese production values give Kemono Jihen a feel distinct from American and international alternatives. When a series of animal bodies that rot away after a single night begin appearing in a remote mountain village, Inugami, a detective from Tokyo who specializes in the occult, is called to investigate. While working the case, he befriends a strange boy who works in the field every day instead of going to school. Shunned by his peers and nicknamed “Dorotabo” after a yokai that lives in the mud, he helps Inugami uncover the truth behind the killings — but supernatural forces are at work, and while Dorotabo is just a nickname, it might not be the only thing about the boy that isn’t human. Natsumi Fujiwara and Junichi Suwabe lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It aired in 2021.
If you're the type who can't walk away from a good mystery, Kemono Jihen will keep you watching far longer than you planned.
