Black Cat
Oshimeter
Synopsis
Known in the underground world by the codename Black Cat, Train Heartnet is an assassin so efficient that his codename means you're already dead if he's been sent for you. He works for Chronos, a shadowy organization that basically runs the world from behind the scenes, and he's one of their top killers, the Chronos Numbers. Cold, precise, zero hesitation. Then one night he meets Saya, a bounty hunter who's basically his opposite, cheerful, free-spirited, the kind of person who talks to stray cats and means it. Their unlikely friendship starts cracking something open in Train, and he begins questioning whether this whole "obedient weapon" thing is really how he wants to spend his life. The fallout from that decision drives the rest of this 23-episode TV series into some genuinely fun territory: gunfights, betrayals, oddball allies, and a power system built around rare Orichalcum weapons and unique abilities that keeps the battles interesting. Taku Iwasaki's soundtrack gives the whole thing a cool, moody edge that fits the tone well. If you liked the wandering gunslinger energy of Trigun or the "assassin with a past" setup of Gungrave, this scratches a similar itch. It's also got some of that Cowboy Bebop lone-wolf coolness, though it leans more into shounen action territory than noir. Studio Gonzo's animation holds up decently, and the character designs are sharp. Worth your time if you're into stylish action with a redemption arc at its core.

I knew it, Chronos Numbers was good people, but the higher up was the bad one, Mason. Such traitor cannot be left alive.
Chronos got new numbers, Number 10, Lee Shaofeng, and his weapon is, what? some kind of orichalcum clothes, so what is the skill? I don't really know much of his skill.
What a suspense moment happened to Eve. I thought Creed was enough to be bad guys, but no. The author wants to make it more and yeap he delivers it.
This is too fast, I thought it was an ending, but no, there is more?!
Raid on an island, got bombed by a hand grenade, a bit of irrelevant but that bomb is so strong it blew up a yacht, lol.
Only Train knows how to identify a Chronos member. That is what we expected in this scene. Chronos fight for peace, sweepers fight for money. But both of them got mutual target, and have to work together to take Creed down.
I wonder if Saya and Saki are related, it is too vague. I think Train just met a spirits. Because it is too weird and confusing moment
I wonder what happened to drunken fellow, did he got eaten by that lizard look a like dinosaur? and what did you eat?! 6 months and you are a size of dinosaur!
Train got shot? That is normal, the abnormal thing is, damn. It goes like what title said, watch it, it is interesting. Lol
Yep, Kyoko with her wild imagination cannot be stop, not even Charden. But what is her motive to join this group
Train found out his ex-partner is alive and just straight run to him and what? He is being debuff he can't kill that guy
Yeah I know he loves to eat so much and all, but he doesn't change into that kind of size. How come everyone easily to believe that guy is XIII Chronos Numbers! LMAO
I noticed that Train running speed is being debuffed unlike the 1st time we seen him running to kill his target
Wow that is one strong imagination to think that Train is a prince charming XD
I thought that girl was Rinslet, but I was wrong. Lol, old anime but the quality is a gem!
Since I have watched and cried before, I already know what is happening. That moment was supposed to be heartbreaking moment, Creed will pay for this.,
Train start to realised and Eve also start to grow conscience of their life path. Lots of things starts to change. But Sven, still have bad luck with finding money.
I love the opening song, if anyone wonders what song it is. It is Daia No Hana. I have been listen to it since middle school
Sven is such a gentleman, however this anime show like it is dark but also knows how to make comedy to reduce the strain.
Train may look cold and merciless, he somewhat actually not himself.
