Loved it! 
2008-08-04
Black cat was quite a surprise. I certainly wasn't expecting to thoroughly enjoy it from beginning to end. My criticism of anime is sometimes a bit severe. It feels as though I'm picking through the trash to find a really great series much of the time. Well, I definitely found a keeper in Black cat. The main characters were all awesome. There was always something exciting going on. I doubt many, if any, will be disappointed with this purchase. This is a great price too.
Great Series! 2008-07-26
Black Cat came as a huge surprise for me! I had just finished watching Deathnote and was in search of something new when I stumbled upon this... I figured I'd give it a try and boy was I glad I did... The storyline has several great plot turns and the humor is top notch! Overall one of the best series I've ever seen!
Funimation does it again. AWESOME 2008-05-25
I got to say it was a great series, plot, art, voice acting just awesome, no real extras, but alittle to fast on the episodes ploting.Funimation does it again by picking another great series and great actors for the series. It is great don't get me wrong but the series ended to fast for me. I think they could of done at least 4-8 more episodes for the right closure of the series. But that's how most of the anime is now and then, they just get a short time to make the series. So I'm not to mad about it. This is a awesome series and anime and the manga is great too.
Well when you watch the first episodes you just get hooked it was just man I couldn't stop watchng it. I just got this series a week ago and watched the whole series in one day. On my only day off man. I couldn't stop watching it. I didn't even go shoot pool and drink with my friends like I do on my day off. Man was they mad dude. :P.
Anyways Train is not like Samurai X ok. If Everybody wanted to say someone was copying someone. Everyone has a idea of
1) A girl and guy meets, boy and girl don't like each other, later boy and girl slowly fall in love.
2) Boy and girl long time friends and find out they was in love.
3) Boy and girl meet and girl falls in love with boy, Boy doesn't like girl but later realize he loves her more than he know.
4) Boy and girl fall in love and have to fight to stay together.
5) Boy and girl fall in love, girl dies or boy dies, then wants revenge or saver on one self.
Ok you get it now right. Many series have the idea but the ploting of how and what happens in the time of all this is what makes it great. I was glad to see Saya for a short time in the series. It was sad to see what happened to her. But understand this is not like samurai X just because it go's a different way of the idea. She is always with him in his mind and heart so you start to feel the pain more with him through out the series. It makes you understand truely what was happening to him and how he felt, even if he never said anything you can tell. As well the idea of what she did in the time she was with him. Even after she is gone. It is alittle sad only on that. Nothing else really is sad in this series to me. I fell in love with everyone in this series and it was sad to see it end. I'm glad to see the anime of a manga set which is not yet complete to come alive. So check it out and it's not Kenshin dude, you just don't know what your talking about dude. Train weird name but he is so kwel man alot of the characters was so kwel, but he was just the best man. I like the name Black Cat too. ;p later
THIS IS WELL WORTH TO WATCH AND THE MONEY, BUT I WOULD BUY IT SOME WHERE ELSE TO. SORRY AMAZON BUT I DO BUY MANGA FROM YOU. ;P

I bought this at Best Buy (in the store not online) for $49.99. Thought I would let everyone know that there is a cheaper place.

If you like shonen anime... 2008-03-25
If you are a red blooded male you will like this series. When I bought this set I was a little apprehensive because I had not heard anything about it. However, after the first couple of episodes, which build the storyline, this show starts to really pick up the pace, and it never slows down. If you have enjoyed series like Rurouni Kenshin and Outlaw Star then you'll love this, as it is, in my opinion a combination of the two at least with regard to the themes it has. For fans of shonen anime with epic battles and valuable lessons, the Black Cat box set is a must see.
Another Great Anime From Gozo&Funimation 2008-03-15
I just got this a couple of days ago from SunCoast and have found myself to be astounded by this great series the plot you read from Amazon gives some info but more of the storyline is that Train Heartnet an assassin for the mysterious Chronos group who give him assignments to kill off anyone they see as an evil influence on the world than a Sweeper(Bounty Hunter for an easy description)by the name of Saya starts awakening his lost humanity and compassion this starts him questioning the missions that Chronos has him do.The final part is a job he has to do kill the bio-weapon EVE that they see as a threat to humanity but Train instead lets her live an decides to leave Chronos for good along the way he joins Sven Volfield another sweeper Sven who has also decided during one of his missions to protect Eve.There is of course more to the series but you will have to see that for yourself what I found intriguing is the concept
of the Chronos group that has them saying that to protect the world and give people the right to freedom and for good to stay strong that they must commit evil acts.I say this brings to mind many political and religious groups that have said the same thing and it seems a little hypocritical of these groups saying to battle evil or corruption we must use the same methods.I love how Funimation has once again found great voice actors as well as the great japanese voice actors the video format is widescreen and you have 5.1 english audio or 2.0 japanese audio the extras sadly aren't much you mostly just get trailers the series has comedic moments in it great action sequences and a great music track this series is perfect for any action anime fan
