Hocus Pocus
Sep 7, 2011

I'm not really familiar with Black Jack, so if there's a lot of foreshadowing and stuff going on then its lost on me. That said, I really enjoyed the first episode - backroom cutting edge surgery is a fun set up. Second episode felt like it was a little rushed on the back end, especially the 'twist', but I like how camp the supporting cast is.

The one thing I will say is that the character designs going from the fairly modern looking Black Jack to the more quirky design of some of the other characters is a little jarring. The parents in the first episode looked like they were out of Professor Layton. The music was a bit hit and miss as well.

But that first episode surgery was so good, so I'm definitely going to stick with this. Any anime with an opiate addicted sidekick is alright by me.
