  • 1 Season

Black Jack is an anime television series produced by Tezuka Productions that focuses on the medical adventures of Black Jack, a genius surgeon who has gained notoriety for his unorthodox methods in performing surgical procedures. The series stars Yuko Mizutani as Black Jack, Akiko Kawase as Pinoko, and Satou Yuko as Yuna.

The show follows Black Jack on his various medical missions, ranging from simple procedures to complex surgeries that other doctors have deemed impossible. Despite his success rate, Black Jack is often regarded as an enigma by his colleagues, who are unable to understand his methods and the reasons behind his decisions. However, his patients credit him with saving their lives and restoring their health.

Throughout the series, Black Jack is accompanied by Pinoko, a young girl who was once a parasitic twin attached to the body of a patient he was operating on. After he successfully removed her, he decided to take her in as his assistant and adoptive daughter. Pinoko provides comic relief and emotional support to Black Jack, and often acts as a liaison between him and his patients.

Yuna is another recurring character in the series, a news reporter who is always on the lookout for the next big scoop. She is intrigued by Black Jack's unorthodox methods and often tries to uncover the secrets behind his success. Although she sometimes clashes with Black Jack, she ultimately shares his goal of helping people and telling their stories.

Each episode of Black Jack tells a self-contained story, with new patients and medical conditions being introduced each time. Some of the illnesses that Black Jack deals with include tumors, infections, and rare diseases that require precise surgical intervention. He uses his advanced medical knowledge and intuition to diagnose and treat his patients, often relying on his intuition and unconventional methods when traditional medical techniques fail.

One of Black Jack's defining characteristics is his unwillingness to allow money to be a barrier between his patients and life-saving medical care. Although he charges high fees for his services, he is willing to waive them for patients who cannot afford to pay. He also has a strong sense of morality and justice, often taking on cases that other doctors have turned down due to ethical concerns.

In addition to his medical adventures, Black Jack also has a complicated personal life. He is a loner, preferring to keep his distance from others and focus solely on his work. He has a complicated relationship with Pinoko, who often tests his patience with her childish antics. He is also haunted by a dark past, which is gradually revealed throughout the series.

Despite its serious subject matter, Black Jack has a lighthearted tone and is suitable for viewers of all ages. It balances medical drama with humor and heart, making it an engaging and entertaining series that is sure to capture the attention of anime fans around the world.

Black Jack is a series that ran for 1 seasons (63 episodes) between December 7, 1999 and on Tezuka Productions
