Even with almost half the ova series aired, I am still unable to rate it.
So this review is not to tell you how good or bad it it, but what can be expected.
In short, this is for anime fans who have yet to decide if they want to follow Isekai Seikishi Monogatari, after all, one episode a month is a long wait.

When I started watching, I was actually relieved that I could follow the plot quite easily. With all the references made to Tenchi Muyo, I thought I would be completely lost having missed Tenchi.
While the main character Kenshi, was indeed summoned from Tenchi's world, the similarity ends there.
Other than Kenshi, there is a wide array of characters keeping it highly entertaining. Whatever character you like, you may just find one you favor here.

Well, one thing that each episode never lacks is fan service. There is bound to be sensual sneak peeks or sexual connotations especially while the girls tease Kenshi mercilessly. The jokes however, are neither tacky nor slap stick, just plain 'high-school' type of funny.

But, after an action packed episode 1 that reeks of conspiracy, some viewers may be disappointed with the lack of that follows.
As the adventure moves from assassination to school life, the action changes from running from enemy Mechas to running from squealing demanding girls.

Still it would be unfair to judge the series as a love comedy as that is not entirely true.

The beautifully executed moves and the heart gripping close calls of the fights so far are definitely worth watching.
And as Kenshi gets used to his new life, the conspiracy slowly and steadily unravels.

Only problem is, maybe it is going a little too slowly and I'm just aching for more
explosive action.

With no overpowering focus on one single genre, there is something here for different viewers.
And the plot unfolds so smoothly that viewers wouldn't be confused.

So maybe, after the last episode of this Ova is aired, I might just be satisfied after all.

Black Cat appeals to viewers who enjoy action and adventure animes with a touch of humour and humanity. It gives you the pleasure of a good laugh at its gags, moderately suspenseful as the story unfolds and with certain scenes, maybe a tear or two may shed. I found this thoroughly enjoyable.

The story revolves around Train Heartnet, a.k.a Black Cat. Chained down as a professional assassin, Black Cat is expected to adhere strictly to the orders of Chronos Organization. Betrayal to the groups ideals is unforgivable and leads only to death. Train lived his life, killing professionally without a second thought until he meets a 'Sweeper', Minatsuki Saya.
Being completely free and independent Saya believes strongly in choice, whether in taking charge of ones own life or choosing to take others'. With this contradiction, Train begins to doubt his methods and slowly yearns to search for more than cold murder.
Black Cat portrays different meanings of justice, honour and life as Train escapes from the clutches of indomitable Chronos and obsessive ex-partner to a "mercenarious" life of a sweeper. read more
