I would recommend this if you're into medical slice of life series,and I guess it's fine if you haven't watched the original. But again, I didn't finish the original series, so I'm not really sure it captured the whole thing or not. Sure, we were introduced to familiar characters, but that's about it. Despite being a prequel, we're not really introduced to other important elements found in the original. I didn't finish the original black jack series, but I do know that the plot devices used in the series were similar.īut this show was far from perfect. It's not everyday you get to see an anime set in Vietnam. Heck, even the setting captured the real locations. It presented real events like the Vietnam war, city riots etc. got my attention the most was the historical accuracy of the series. It makes me look at him at a different perspective. Having performed surgeries in dangerous environments while still a student is quite a dilemma. But what I do like about the young Hazama is his dark background.
But how did he become such? Well, you won't find it in this prequel because he's just a medical student in this series. He's a medical genius who can operate on anyone with 1000% success rate. A prequel to the beloved series, Black Jack, this show was, in all honesty, trying to fit into the Black Jack universe.
