| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Haven't seen the original Black Jack before but I thought it was kinda neat. The OP theme song has medical themes in it and is catchy. Is it just me or is he kinda ripped? Thrilling episode overall. The show establishes the fact that something dangerous may happen from time to time to set up events. I like how the show has a sort of metaphor for Hazama's skills though. Nice episode. Enjoyable with its ideas~ What an OP song ED theme is catchy too imo. |
 |
| Yeah me neither I haven't seen original Black jack, but really enjoyable anime. Looking forward for next episode |

| That's quite a good episode. I know there will be some "nice" shots of Kuroo but it's not really distracting as i had expected. I still need time to get used to bishounen Kuroo though lol Next episode seems to have |

| I watched the raw (even tho I don't really understand japanese) because I was too anxious to see it, and it looks pretty cool! I wonder why there isn't a subbed version yet tho. |
| IIIIII AM JUST FEEEEELING ALIIIIIVE *helicopters shooting peoples* |

| No sub? Git good. A raw anime for this poor fanime makes the subbers go WANNAME. |
| I love how Akio Ootsuka made a guest appearance as the narrator. He is actually the VA for the previous Black Jack anime. |

| I LOLd when he ignored them. This looks promising. Black Jack is pretty cool. |

 |
| I've never watched the original series, but this was amazing! That father was just disgraceful, haggling over the price of his son's life! Really liking Jack and the other characters in this episode! Will definitely keep watching this one! |
| So glad that I'm not a huge manga reader, because the manga readers WHINE WAY TOO MUCH and have to RUIN every adapted anime for the ANIME ONLY WATCHERS! |
| That dad was such an asshole. What sort of parent bargains over the price of his child's life? Even if the compensation was a bit too high, he wasn't being appreciative at all. >.< Pretty decent start. Amidst the civil unrest, Hazama's journey to save lives should be an interesting one. |
 |
Wow, that was a really good 1st episode. Who knew a surgical operation could be so exciting lol. Hazama is a really cool MC. It's amazing that was his first surgery. And he sure has a lot of scars.  The child's father pisses me off. He should have kept his word after Hazama did his best to save his son's life. I hope something bad happens to him.  |

| Haven't been on here for a long time. .-. I'm one of those people who have seen the original Black Jack and I must say, for a new Black Jack series that has a rather different feeling from the original, it's actually quite good and I'm already in love with it! And I love the fact that they showed the manga version of the characters in ED. OP's great too. It's not often you would see Kuro'o shirtless. XD |
 “The dreams and ideals we believe in, seem they might just fall apart if we take our eyes off them.” |
| I never watched the original series, but this was a pretty decent start. Right away, we jumped straight into a surgical procedure. Hazama appears to be a damn good surgeon. That scumbag father was so pathetic. Hazama just prevented your kid from becoming a full-on Edward Elric and you can't even hold up your end of the deal. It looks like there will be some fanservice for the ladies in terms of Hazama's muscular and scarred body. I don't really care as long as it doesn't turn into a distraction like male-oriented fanservice. I also thought the OP and ED themes were pretty catchy. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| That OP though!! Don't know anything about the original nor the manga but I'm sure as hell gonna watch this, looks very interesting |
| Really liking the OP song. ED song is pretty good as well. Pretty cool seeing Hazama perform surgery. Interested in seeing more. |

| Seems like there are two different character design styles going on here. I can FEEL the creators putting all their energy into making sure we know Black Jack is hot, its kind of ridiculous especially that 360 camera movement while he's changing LOL. Why nobody told or helped that kid off his bike? Well, either way I'm in for the ride so far... |
| Great start. Nice to see Black Jack gain. Patient's dad was an ass but without having a license, i guess getting 500k is better than getting reported. Shame he got taken advantage of, but thats the way Law works :( Can't wait for the next episode. |

This fucking asshole... Pretty good anime, I see great things to come :3 |

VanishingKira said: Will this just be fujoshit or good like the old series? I wonder. I feel like you've been here long enough to know what that means. So far there's been no indication of a possible guy love interest for the female watchers. Unless you mean how Hazama and other male characters in the OP look like bishies or showing of Hazama's muscular body, because that alone has nothing to do with fujoshi. But yeah, who knows. Maybe one of the guys in the OP will make female fans ship him with Hazama, though as of now, I don't understand how you could come to such a hasty conclusion. _____________________________ I don't have any experience with the original series either, but I found this to be a very engaging episode. Out of all the new series I've watched today, I think this is the only one where my eyes was glued to the screen and surprised when the episode ended. Hazama did an amazing job with his first surgery, one that the other doctor said was impossible. I liked how they showed Hazama shaking afterwards, I think that could be a realistic reaction for a first timer. Passa said: Seems like there are two different character design styles going on here. That caught my attention too. I guess it's because the mangaka probably wanted to give tribute to Tezuka's style, which is nice. |

| I haven't seen any of the original Black Jack stuff, but I heard this was a prequel and immediately wanted to jump on it. This episode was great. This was one of the few series I was excited for this season and it really paid off. I can't wait for more! Since starting to read Franken Fran a while ago and now this, I think I'm beginning to develop a thing for scars. |
| Never watched the original series but I really really liked this. |
| That was pretty much exactly like the original Black Jack except here he was still just a student Pretty good overall though |
  |
| I just wanted to punch that dad in the end... |
 |
| Definitely has potential. I can see a lot of things they kept from the older entries in the franchise. I was a little scared they'd make it shitty fujoshibait but my fears have been put to rest...for now. |
Take care of yourself |

| Black jack is back after so many years!! This series is totally different than the original anime, but not in a bad way. A really nice first episode where we once again get to see Kuroo's amazing surgical skills. |

Yeah, that dad, just because he was saved, it is like, I have nothing to lose since you already did it for me. Asking for something for a high price and then when it comes down to paying, ends up not following through. |

| Amazing anime, reminds me so much of the OVA's. The TV series, seemed too childish to me. But this is great quality. From start to finish. It brings me great joy to see that Osamu Tezuka's characters are coming back to life. Ootsuka Akio as always is OP as the narrator. God DAMN can't wait for the next episode. |
| Man this was pretty good lol, I've never seen any other material from this series so I'm hoping that I won't be hindered in any way OP is way too catchy, I love it xD |
| It was okay,i don't really like the main character for the moment he's kinda a sasuke-like but the surgery was really intense and i was on it,i'm curious for next episodes. |

I find the OVAs much more mature and darker looking compared to this. XD And, well it is Tezuka's style after all, I like the colorfulness of the TV series. Gotta agree with Ootsuka Akio as the narrator, awesome! ^-^ Looking forward to the next episode. <3 |
“The dreams and ideals we believe in, seem they might just fall apart if we take our eyes off them.” |
| Best first episode of the season so far. That was really cool and full of suspense. The main character rocks. I sat here with an open mouth when the scumbag father did that to him. Fuck this guy. |
| Great first episode. I also didn't watch the original as it seems to be extremely old but if this serie continue to be this good then I will at the very least pick up the manga. I mean, just look at the name of the author, even if one isn't really interested in manga history or manga author names, this name is the one that he was bound to hear. This is definitely the best first episode I watch in the season so far, well there weren't that many series yet and I didn't even touch K yet either but I feel like this will be one of the best series this season. If it were running in previous season I could even risk to say best of the season, not here though. Really great. And that scamming father at the end, ah this feel of human's true nature... YEA! Although in this ending. I don't know whatever protagonist needs money badly for sick mother/sister/brother/other relative, but his reaction and the commentary of having big regrets was a little bit too big, unless he needs that money for something, and that's completely different story. All in all, he did something illegal in the end and doctors words is really crazy when it comes to following the legal procedures. (this knowledge comes from 'HOUSE' so I can't be certain but it seemed real) So at least he didn't lose the licence (which he probably doesn't have yet given he is student) What's more the Opening shows fragments from some war and jungles... oh I am hyped for that! |

| So far the best first episode I've watched this season. An interesting premise, although the dialogue is quite meh, and the girl keeps saying corny, generic lines in a super serious tone like its nothing and all it does is make me cringe.... I have my doubts if this anime will stay at the high level of this initial episode. But so far 7/10. |
