Black Jack (TV)

stupidsama★ 8

This anime has to be by far one of the best I have seen ever.The story revolves around a scary looking half masked,black caped looking doctor(he does resemble Dracula in a way!),by the name of Dr Black Jack. The doctor holds the reputation for being the world's best surgeon,but only works for the 'rich'.Though initially you get a feeling that this guy is pretty greedy,but in reality he is a very kind hearted man. The anime boasts of a very independant storyline.Most episodes remain independant of each other,with each story touching your heart in a very unusual way.The animation is really good and if you are wondering why the style issoo similar to Astro Boy's,then you should know that both the original Manga's were authored by Osamu Tezuka. Overall the anime is excellent and I would reccommend everyone to atleast try watching the series once.

In short, this anime is excellent in the fact that it doesn;t revolve around guns and action, but it's not slow and dragging. The idea of a doctor saving lives is excellent, and the dramatic [and some times a little ridiculous] ways is more than entertaining. I've watched most of these episodes three and more times, and will probably continue to do so. The animation may seem a little too childish, but I assure you that the subject matter isn't really. And, it's generally accurate, so you may learn a little anatomy at the same time. I highly recommend this anime, both to first timewatchers and die hard anime fans.
