Black Cat

I can't believe I don't have a review for this!

This, is by far, the anime that has the BEST fighting scenes. BEST!
It's fast, smooth, and the coordination is just so so right.
I hold my breath for EVERY combat scenes.

This is also the only anime EVER that I did NOT skip the opening. For EVERY episodes, yes.
Even the second time I watch it.


Daia No Hana by Yoriko.






Story begins with an assassin named Train Heartnet, Number XIII in the Chronos organisation. His nickname, Black Cat is a result of both his profession and his unlucky number thirteen, as black cats are deemed as bad omen.

His immense ability of agility and marksmanship is what makes him an outstanding eraser for Chronos. I think it is also why, instead of only twelve numbers (Chrono mean time, naturally, the twelve numbers on the clock), he was an exception and was given the ranking of a Chronos Number.



Train Heartnet.




Chronos Numbers.



Chronos Number VII; Jenos Hazard.



After an encounter with a sweeper (bounty hunter) Saya, Train's life and thoughts changed immensely. Instead of living a life tied to the merciless organisation who claims for peace, he demands a free life. Coupled with Saya's murder and his failure to terminate a target, Eve who appears to be a bio-weapon, Train took a step forward and became a free cat, along with Sven and Eve.



Creed Diskenth. The villain, also my <3



The Eden arc in the anime is non-existent in the manga, which I think is a pity. It's a really good arc and has potential to expand into something more. The manga only ended at Creed's defeat.
However, in the manga, Train never leaves Sven and Eve. Instead, he works as a sweeper with them, and I prefer this ending very much.


:D


Rate: 8/10.
I would give it a 9 if only it has more episodes!
23 is too brief a number for such an interesting plot!

Favourites?
Creed!
And Train :)

And sometimes Jenos :p

Jaana!
