Black Cat

Type: Anime
Status: Complete (24 episodes)

Premise: Train Heartnet is an eraser, an assassin without peer in the clandestine organization of Chronose, but his life is given meaning after meeting a sweeper (bounty hunter) named Saya. Unable to continue his cold blooded composure any longer he attempts to separate from Chronose but ends up on the run instead.

Thoughts: This anime has moments of brilliance intermixed in a somewhat lack luster series. While the major plot developments do show what this anime could have been if only they had directed it in the direction of a dark drama they are to diluted by slapstick comedy and cliche plot devices to truly make this work come alive.

Prose: Moments of brilliant drama and a clean and polished animation make this anime what it is.

Cons: The plot actually starts off better in the first episode than slowly declines from there, as I said they could of had something here had he writer decided to go for a maturer audience.

-Notes: Fully dubbed. 

6.5/10          (Trains costume: Beginning >End>>>Middle)
