Synopsis
Black Jack, a mysterious young unlicensed doctor with godlike skills, travels the world performing feats of impossible surgery, charging vast fees for his services, and challenging the corrupt practices of the medical establishment. This selection of stories, each adapted from a single original manga issue, focuses more on interpersonal relationships and back-story than most other Black Jack series. (Source: ANN)
Audience Consensus
This early ONA adaptation of Black Jack is considered one of the weakest. While it attempts to stay true to the manga, it suffers from poor production quality, voice acting, and animation. The stories retain some value due to the source material, but overall, it's not recommended, especially compared to later adaptations.
Strengths
- Faithful to the original manga stories.
- Diverse sound design and music that fit the scenes well.
Weaknesses
- Poor voice acting, especially Pinoko's seiyuu.
- Bright and wonky animation that resembles a Nintendo DS cutscene.
- Lacks audio mixing and overall production quality.
