Really good episode. I never expected the whole thing with the narcotics. Really good twist and overall story.

When Yui said that her friends died one by one, something seemed odd, or at least it did not feel like a string of bad luck for her. Then everyone involved in this was hiding something and then Yui went crazy. Once Black Jack said it was drugs, then it all became clear.

Shame the bad guys got away though, but not having perfect endings makes this show very compelling. You can't predict how it will completely end.

Wow that was theatrical as hell. The television series was fun and colorful with moments of seriousness, but damn, this OVA series is intense in comparison.

Drugs are bad, mkay. I'm surprised they weren't high at the time they met black jack because they sure as hell seemed so with all that giggling and laughing.

Less than six minutes in (counting the opening) and we're already served an undramatic painted still... I guess this will be "normal" for the whole series, at least the pre-digital era OAVs.

More importantly, the story... Well, the suspense ("why were those girls falling like flies?") was good and everything seemed to be logical and go together fine as soon as the revelation fell.

5/5


@FMmatron Yes, I was ! So they have a name, ahah. (As an 80s watcher, I'm used to them, but mainly for suspended weekly conclusions (DBZ had some very nice ones for example) or to simmer the audience a few seconds for dramatic impact before something big or in the middle of it. The frequency, here, diluted the effect if not more even giving me a smile on a few occasions.)
Have a good time with the OAVs !

Just say no to drugs, kids!

That reminded me of my mother's idea of how drug dealers act- eiither hanging out in dark alleys looking spooky, giving away free drugs to completely straight non-users for no discernable reason, or randomly killing their client base.

So that's why Rie is always smiling and laughing creepily

Wait wasn't drug plants is ok as long it's not processed?
Like Marijuana leaves is ok as food and nice way to boost your stamina
I guess it's a fictional plant
Also I watched a video about addiction the other day, you can't get addicted if you have family, friends that can keep you from being lonely
Loneliness is the key for addictions

Aww Black Jack is kinda romantic xD
Definitely prefer this one because there's an actual conclusion where the previous really don't have

Couldn't figure out Black Jack's attitude toward the girl.
What did he see in her in the beginning of the episode ?

You were referring to postcard memory?

You will see them in anime directed by Dezaki and apparently he was the one who created and popularized it. I also just learned it rather recently. There's still a so much I can learn about animation techniques and everything that belongs to it.

Thanks, I surely will enjoy it (this is the best anime for a rainy day tho lol)

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

I hope to one day work as a psychedelic psychotherapist using Mescaline as sacred medicine for healing. This episode is quite annoying. The police guy says he's looking for a drug that's destroying lives while smoking a cigarette. This episode did not age well.

Yeah japanese episodes about drugs are hilariously bad, look at the first episode of Ikebukuro West Gate Park for a similar shitty view lol, but at least its entertaining somehow i guess
