| Might be interesting, cool stuff. |
 |
| Damn, I totally forgot to watch the old Black Jack series.....gotta marathon 'em all. |
 |
| I haven't seen the original or read the manga before. Coming into this series fresh I guess... Fans of Black Jack, is it necessary to watch the original stuff for better experience? |
|
| Still haven't seen the older one. Cool. |
| I watched the originals series dubbed and it was very good. Nice to see we have more Black Jack. :D Stark700 said: Fans of Black Jack, is it necessary to watch the original stuff for better experience? I guess not. It's a prequel after all. But you will enjoy it more if you do watch the original TV series. |

| Sounds interesting |
 |
| Guess it's about time I get into the series. |
 |
| Cool,I'll watch the original series soon then. |
 |
| Not too keen on Tabata's stories, but this could be pretty enjoyable. |
| I wanted this so bad, omg! What a good day to be alive. Lately I've been checking this hottie young Black Jack, so delicious ♥ |
| I've been meaning to get into Black Jack for a while now. |

 I don't know why people write that they are approachable persons, if you were you wouldn't be on MAL. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Extended families or lovers on MAL are a farce. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

| Will give it a watch. Haven't watch/read the original black jack. |
| Awesome! The cover artwork seems to be more in the vein of the ova series. I highly prefer that over the bright childish tv series art and character design Really looking forward to more Black Jack! |
 |
| Ah yes, young Back when he got OL DA PUSI |
| I saw some of the episodes of Black Jack on television before but never finish the show. Perhaps I could go with this and could use this prequel as a deciding factor to try it the original Black Jack on manga. |
 |
| Hm, for once an anime adaption where I don't plan on reading the original anyway, although I do hope that this won't affect my (potential) enjoyment of this series... However I still remember this series' wonderful phone cases (or whatever those were) catching my interest, so it might turn out to be worth it, in one way if not another~ (｀ｗ´) |
Stark700 said: Fans of Black Jack, is it necessary to watch the original stuff for better experience? You will definitely have a better experience if you've read the original although it's not necessary. Young Black Jack has a lot of easter eggs and tributes from the original Black Jack and Osamu's other works. The story is also more realistic compared to the original's strange tales. I can't believe this is happening. Hyped! |
 |
| Cool. I've watched a few episodes of the original series, pretty enjoyable. It is finally time to complete the show. |

| Yay!! More Black Jack, It's been a while since i watch the Original Series. |
 |
| drama, shounen ---> Im in. Might be interesting :) |
| I was not expecting that, very interesting. |
 |
| Cool, never watched the original but I've heard good things. |
 |
| I've always wanted to get into Black Jack so this seems like the perfect place to start. |
| My signature is lame... |
| More Black Jack is never a bad thing. In any case I can't wait for the animation, no Studio news? |
 |
| I haven't watched the original Black Jack in ages , will have to make plans to watch it before I start watching this. |
 |
| Original manga re adaptation when? |
 |
| Sounds interesting... |
| Man I have some srs dyslexia, I read it as Young Jack Black and I was like wtf. |
 |
| Looks pretty cool :o definitely gonna be checking it out |

| It's nice to still see Tezuka manga getting appreciated and getting new adaptations and interpretations in 2015. Sometimes it feels like the industry is trying to push out the classics and pave over them with a new more erotic and flashy appeal, but clearly somebody still remembers. I predict TMS and a 5 o'clock prime time slot. CaptainZoro said: Damn, I totally forgot to watch the old Black Jack series.....gotta marathon 'em all. I recommend the OVA from the early 90's by Osamu Dezaki. Great interpretation and excellent cinematography to them. |
| A prequel not by the original mangaka... that modern bishounen look he has looks off-putting. Why all the classics anyway? I don't think it'll get them much money. Plus plenty of good stuff that are more recent (aside from romcom harems) to adapt out there that they are overlooking. :L Though probably will watch. Haven't gotten around to Black Jack anyway. |
| If only there were scans of it |
 |
Shadow-Chan said: Sexy~I really enjoyed the OVA + movie and although this is written by someone else it should still be fun. |
 |
| OMG YESSSSSSSSSSSSS i love black jack :D ,i finished the original anime 5 months ago |
Monochrome said: Omg why is he hot. Didn't even check the scans, now I'm curious about the person drawing.Shadow-Chan said: Sexy~ |
|
| I still have yet to watch 'black jack' but I suppose since its a prequel I could watch it first. ^^ haha. |

| I've heard of Black Jack before but never bothered to check it out. I'll use this as my opportunity :)) |
 |
| More Black Jack will always be a good thing. |
 |
| I have like zero expectations of any shounen, but I have to at least remember to check it out since it takes place in the 60s. That could be somewhat interesting. But when it comes to shounen, first ass pull or exposition dump through outspoken monologue and I'm out. Just because your demographic is children doesn't mean you have to dumb it down to goldfish level. |
 |
| looks rad. interesting! |

| Thinking back, Blackjack was pretty awesome, but for some reason I can't see the franchise aging too well. I'll likely give this a chance though. |
