I put this show off for a while now and I just recently finished watching it. I did same thing with Code Geass and when I finished watching that show, I was stunned. The same situation occurred when watching Black Cat. I am pleasantly surprised to say that Black Cat is a pretty damn good anime.

The time I spent watching this show seemed to slip away, as I was drawn into a world of assassins, sweepers, and secret organizations.

The story revolves around an assassin named Train, a mysterious girl named Eve, and a bounty hunter(otherwise known as a sweeper) named Sven. These main characters have great chemistry together. The main villain, Creed, was an extremely interesting character, with a demented, psychopathic, and flamboyant personality. Creed has an obsessive interest in Train to the point where he makes a statue and painting of Train. There are numerous plot twists devices throughout the story, especially at the beginning of the show. These plot twists prevent the show from becoming stagnant and stale.

The art and the sound are both well done, although I can't recall listening to any memorable soundtracks.

Although Black Cat is a really well done Shounen anime, but still provides a few of the flaws of most anime of its genre. For example, I noticed that a lot of Creed's nameless soldiers are usually easily defeated in a comic matter, and that kind of thing annoys me. This is only a small detail that can easily be overlooked.

Black Cat is not a perfect anime, but it is very good one at that. The show contained a deep plot and riveting action scenes that held my interest the entire ride through this show. I had a great time watching this series and I highly recommend this show.
