What's your favorite anime version of Black Jack?

2004! The 1990s one looks very cool, but I think its plots leave something to be desired, and I personally think Young Black Jack leaves MUCH to be desired, but while 2004 sometimes is a little bit kiddy-fied, it usually does a good job with the original story, although it’s definitely afraid to make Black Jack mean enough.

Everything is default reblogging to my side blog, this blog, for no reason. Sorry about that.

He squints and looks for the offending voice. The owner of it is a child, a little girl with eyes like his daughter’s, and she does not look pleased. Another trait shared by Pinoko.

“I’m a doctor,” he says, unclear why she can’t tell that from the bloodstained scrubs.

“No one is allowed to smoke!”
