Black Cat

[Daesy]

Chronos, an organization bent on world peace, rules one third of the world's economy. To maintain the balance of the world, Chronos is therefore essential, and there is a need for people to protect Chronos. Thirteen special elite assassins each possess unique Orichalcum-forged weapons and are called the Chrono Numbers, assassins who work for Chronos. When the thirteenth Chrono Number Train Heartnet, also known as the infamous Black Cat, meets a Sweeper (licensed bounty hunter) named Saya Minatsuki, Train's morals and values are changed from those of Chronos's to those of his own. Instead of killing his victims like he is ordered to, he merely uses Hades, his Orichalcum gun, to stop them instead. This leads to tension between him and the Chronos Elders, the leaders of Chronos, and eventually culminates in Train's departure from the organization.

I am on episode 3, and i can't stop watching. Its was animated by Gonzo. The plot, the story, the comedy is all good. Has anyone seem this anime?

I watched the anime a while back, so I'm fuzzy on the details, but I liked it from what I remember. Although granted, it didn't make much of an impression on me either :/

I liked the over-all concept of assassins but I was too bothered by Train's abrupt personality change. I had like the more demure way he started out, so to see him suddenly become kind of obnoxious and childish just surprised me too much O.o

I did like the animation though. Plenty of purty boiz and gurls to go around

See? This is why I don't like the anime. I mean, in the manga, he's always a carefree loveable idiot. But that doesn't mean that he can't be badass when he needs to be. Seriously, the anime suffers from some serious Adaptation Decay. Removing complete arcs and even changing the personalities of some the characters. /butthurt, much?

Indeed, I must agree that the manga made much more sense and was much more complete and all. Just to name a part which felt rather "strange" (although the change might have been for the better of the story as it was) was how Eve got to join forces with Sven even before Train in the Anime. As a matter of fact, the final part of the anime (past the manga's ending, so to speak) was just too big of a twist, so to speak. And perhaps a little rushed? (Can't say for sure, since it was a while since I saw it).
