The series was first published in English by VIZ Media, who released select chapters in their manga anthology magazine Manga Vizion and later released those chapters in two volumes in 1999. The manga won the 1st Kodansha Manga Award for the Shounen category in 1977. Akita Shoten shipped the 25th and final volume in October 1995. Tezuka ( Pluto) began drawing the medical drama manga in Weekly Shounen Champion magazine from November 1973 to October 1983. Isao Tsuge is credited for character design supervision and costume design. Yoshiko Morishita is handling the script, and Takashi Oomama ( Kidou Senshi Gundam: Suisei no Majo) is composing the music. Issei Takahashi ( Mimi wo Sumaseba) is starring as Black Jack. The television drama is set to air in 2024 on TV Asahi. I highly recommend continuing with young BJ from here on out.TV Asahi announced on Saturday that Osamu Tezuka's Black Jack manga is receiving a Japanese live-action television drama adaptation to commemorate the manga's 50th anniversary. It's a classic in the anime genre and serves as a great introduction to the series.

The film carries on Osamu Tezuka's anime style. Pinnico & BJ are voiced by the same actor from the 2004 series (SUB). The opening and ending tracks were a nice choice, but the film's score wasn't emphasized much. It wasn't bad, but at the same time, it wasn't particularly noteworthy, which is disappointing considering how great the film is. To be honest, there isn't much to say here. It's satisfying to see a main character's foundation BJ is great to watch as he faces this new threat. The characters are spot-on, acting and working together as they have in the past. The body movements are smooth and clean, the gore is well done, and the characters' expressions are always clear. The ending falls a bit short, but not devastatingly so.īJ The Movie is surprisingly well-animated, which I didn't expect. It keeps you entertained from start to finish, focusing on the controversial subject of medical drug enchantments.

For a movie about Blackjack, this is one of the best anime films I've seen.
