Black Jack the Movie

As someone who’s never seen or read anything Black Jack related, this is an absolutely amazing introduction!

I honestly didn’t really know what to expect going into it, but I really enjoyed it. I really have to get into the rest of the series now.

Kuro Hazama/Black Jack really interesting, I don’t know if it was the intent but he’s kinda shrouded in mystery. You don’t really learn much about him, he’s such a great character, it’s one of my favourite types of character, actually.

The story is rather simple, but it’s got a lot of tension and intriguing elements that makes it a great watch. Not to ... mention the animation and directing is beautifully done. Osamu Dezaki is slowly becoming one of my favourite directors. There’s just something really cozy about his style.

I love movies like this so much. Protect Pinoko.

Plot/Story: 9/10
For a movie about Blackjack, this is one of the best anime films I've seen. It keeps you entertained from start to finish, focusing on the controversial subject of medical drug enchantments. The ending falls a bit short, but not devastatingly so.

Animation/Design: 9/10
BJ The Movie is surprisingly well-animated, which I didn't expect. The body movements are smooth and clean, the gore is well done, and the characters' expressions are always clear.

Characters: 7/10
The characters are spot-on, acting and working together as they have in the past. BJ is great to watch as he faces this new threat. It's satisfying to see a main character's foundation ... crumble and see them overcome it.

Audio/Soundtrack: 7/10
To be honest, there isn't much to say here. It wasn't bad, but at the same time, it wasn't particularly noteworthy, which is disappointing considering how great the film is. The opening and ending tracks were a nice choice, but the film's score wasn't emphasized much.

Honorable Mentions:

Pinnico & BJ are voiced by the same actor from the 2004 series (SUB).
The film carries on Osamu Tezuka's anime style.
Review Conclusion:
Give this movie a watch. It's a classic in the anime genre and serves as a great introduction to the series. I highly recommend continuing with young BJ from here on out.

I have never seen Black Jack, other versions of it, this is the first time I have heard of it and decided to click on this movie and give it a try.

I really enjoyed the movie a lot and it was very interesting concept as well. The idea of SuperHumans, who end up getting sick, the idea of how far medical assessment can go, well I do believe stuff like this happens, and people are just not aware of it, its scary to thing what the future holds haha. I wont give more details about the movie, do not want to spoil it ... for anyone.

However i will say the following the story and concept is really good, and just based on the story alone its worth a watch, I feel its an anime anyone can enjoy even known anime lovers, the art, and animation is really great too, voice acting is pretty nice as well, and overall character development is good.

Its almost a perfect movie, but i gave it 9 out of 10 stars, felt it could have been a little better but defiantly worth a watch.
