Black Cat 01

Black Cat
~~~~~~~

Synopsis:
Train Heartnet, age 23, works as part of a huge syndicate of which much is unknown, the Chronos. A Chronos Time Guardian, he is in charge of assasinations, and has earned a dark reputation. Amongst the underworld, he is the symbol of death; his nickname : Black Cat.

Episode 1:
Having read the manga, the way Black Cat starts is totally different from the manga. In a way, the anime is a lot easier to understand, since everything is in chronological order, but it removes much of suspense that would otherwise make the show a lot more interesting.

Animation wise, graphics are sleek and SD images are pretty nicely done. Black Cat is a comedy/action anime, and even though the starting is glum, it nicely picks up the tone through Sven.

This episode does nothing much. It shows some eye candy involving Train's assasination of people, and also introduces the main antagonist, Creed, partner/ex-partner of Train, depending on how you look at it.

Of course, those who read the manga will spot Eve. Although, i have NO IDEA why she at the ball. Probably as an easter egg(?) of sorts to those who read the manga. Well, at least they bothered to put her uncle in to explain her presence. Notice that for a 12 year old girl, she has assets that easily rival most adults.


And so the assasination goes on, with no main plot for now. Story ends with the introduction of a very important character, probably the person pivotal to Train's change. As you can see, he's still pretty angsty as of now.



Anyway, lets end off with a pic of that girl Saya :P I think she looks really kawaii in that Zipang costume.. lol!
