While we initially got our look at the Black Jack anime OVA series earlier in home video form and now the property is getting some streaming. The folks at RetroCrush began adding them awhile ago with the Black Jack Final episodes. But, they were missing a couple of episodes that they were still dealing with. We had a couple of episodes that were pulled down as there were issues with it but it’s now been corrected and the complete run is available for people to check out all the strange medical goodness and weirdness. Check out the full twelve-episode run from 1993 through 2011 that’s now available here.
Plot Concept: Black Jack is an “unregistered” doctor with a clouded, mysterious past. He works with his little assistant Pinoko (who has a massive crush on the doctor), dealing with medical cases not very well known, which can be strange, dangerous, or not known at all. But he is a genius, and can save almost any of his patients’ life (as long as they have the money for it, that is), and is known to many around the world, especially to those of medicine and science. He’s a man of science himself, and does not believe much until he has seen it, yet it is many times he is surprised by love and nature often overpowering the science he bases his life in.
