Introduction
Black Jack is an "unregistered" doctor with a clouded, mysterious past. He works with his little assistant Pinoko (who has a massive crush on the doctor), dealing with medical cases not very well known, which can be strange, dangerous, or not known at all. But he is a genius, and can save almost any of his patients' life (as long as they have the money for it, that is), and is known to many around the world, especially to those of medicine and science. He's a man of science himself, and does not believe much until he has seen it, yet it is many times he is surprised by love and nature often overpowering the science he bases his life in.

my ratings for this anime is a 4 this anime seems to more target making a black jack anime fore children and it could of done this and still be good. but as being part of the black franchise i expected it to still focus on medical drama but it feels like it almost could care less about it. and was forced to have it because of the franchise this left me lose all interest in it. if this was not part of black jack this would be average and i would of enjoyed it a bit. but i wanted the medical drama and for most episodes the medical stuff get two maybe four minutes on average. so if this was the part you liked about the franchise this might fall painfully flat. really it is best not to watch this as something part of the black jack franchise and just a average kids show with medical things thr…

✦Story
Great episodic enjoyment about odd doctor and annoying sidekick. As episodes pass, you get sometimes flashback episodes where you learn a bit about the main characters. Isn't much else to say about story. I guess some diseases and medical components of the story might confuse viewer now and then, but for the most part everything gets explanation. Probably the weakest link of the story would be that few stories/episodes were quite far fetched and moronic. But overall story was quite enjoyable.
✦Art & Sound
Were good, that's all I can really comment. It has it's odd/unique artstyle/character designs and quite enjoyable music&OST. It isn't anything amazing nor anything…

Story 9/10
Black Jack is a "unlicensed" doctor who with his fellow assistant Pinoco takes on difficult cases. Each episode follows a different case. I gave the story a 9 out of 10 because there are 61 episodes of Black Jack, but yet it felt like the show was going to go on, but we never got that.
Art 9/10
The art is good. I'm giving it 9 out of 10 because the noses felt weirdly drawn (go ahead and call me out, I have a picky style lol) and some of the art didn't match the background in my opinion.
Sound 10/10
Black Jack has three openings and three endings: Gekkouka, Here I Am, and Fantastic (openings); Kuroge Wagyuu Kamishio Tanyaki 680 En, Clover, and Careless Breath (endings) I loved all of them. I really don't have criticism for the soundtrack here.
Character 8/10
I just love seeing…

I watched this show right after watching the OVAs and right away I can say that Black Jack TV was a lot less dark and more kid-friendly than the OVA, but it's still very entertaining. Some of the stories will touch your heart and others will actually make you laugh. I'm glad we got some episodes that revolved around Pinoco and what she and her friends do in their free time, since in the OVAs it seemed she was always stuck at home waiting for the doctor to return. This version of Black Jack was less serious and more comedic, but that does not mean I enjoyed it any less. I'm glad that I watched this show, and I'm also happy with the amount of episodes there are.

Black Jack is one of Mr. Tezuka's most famous works next to Astro boy of course. It portrays the medical world through the eyes unlicensed doctor, Black Jack, as he gets all sorts of unique and life changing tasks and surgeries he must perform to the best of his abilities.
Story: 7
The story follows Black Jack, a mysterious doctor that has sort of an unknown past as everyone only knows him because of his reputation. According to almost everyone in the show, this man is superb in his surgery abilities and is one of the best doctors in Japan. Each episode is it's own new case that I found to be always unique. Even though most of the episodes are stand-alone, each of them are well paced and do a good job explaining the story for that episode.

Now even if the design is a little chil…

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 time watchers and die hard anime fans.

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
is soo 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 rec…
