This is probably the most easiest Shonen Jump to enjoy.
The characters are instantly likeable, the dubbing was quite funny (Brandon Potter was HILARIOUS!!!). I didn't really approve of the last 4-ep arc at the end, but it could've been a LOT worse, when it comes to filler! A weird choice for ANN to add (some more dubbed Monsters would've been nicer...), but it's good all the same!

This is one of my fave series. Train, the hero, is cute and cool, but it's his partner Sven Vollfied that's won my heart. He's the one with the eyepatch. But he doesn't wear it because an eye is gone. It's there, in a different color, and it allows him to see into the future. He looks good with the eye patch, but he looks especially great with the mismatched eyes both showing. Plus he believes in chivalry. His kindness to the "monster" Eve shows her the way. The manga (also good) calls him a "self-styled ladies man", but I don't see none of that. He's just a real cool, sexy guy, a rival for Wolfwood in my personal list of top anime hotties.
Excuse me while I drool all over my computer keyboard. |

Wow, incredible
 !!! I'm watching it right now! This one delivers all the good stuff and for the first time I'm amazed with the performance an american voice actor, Sven Volfied who is being dubbed is way cool.

This is probably the ONLY series in which I read the manga first and THEN watched the anime. Usually it's the other way around for me and I end up enjoying a series in both its forms, but this... was the only one where I actually MISSED certain things in the manga of how a scene was executed. The ending arc of the show was amusing but... basically a time filler if anything, to get their quota of episodes in.
All in all, HOOKED on the book but the show... well, it was just alright, as an adaptation, personally. (I mostly missed Tearju's manga scenes!) |

Ahh, Black Cat - one of the first shows that I followed as it came out in Japan way back in the Fall 2005 season.
It sheds no new ground, but I thought it did its job well - the characters were fairly likable, and the action did its job. It entertained me, and that's good enough for me. It even led me to purchase the manga when Viz eventually put it out. Granted, I can see why people vastly prefer the manga, having read my copies of the volumes. |
