“A Lonely Cat”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I’m behind, which can only mean one thing: I can catch up! Stylish GONZO animation with entirely random tone: I like it. The adventures of a nun kicking assassin and a man with a “vision eye” (vision eye!) … has to be good.
\n
\nBlack Cat<\/I> opens with the assassin Black Cat breaking into a church and kicking nuns. The rest of the episode follows Sven, a man with green hair and the power to see five minutes into the future with his “vision eye”, in his attempts to capture the politician Lib Tyrant (Lib Tyrant<\/I>! Come on!). Unfortunately, Black Cat’s organisation also wants Tyrant dead.<\/p>\n

Black Cat<\/i> can’t quite decide on a tone. It’s not quite schizophrenic as lots of modern shows, in that it is at least clear that the Black Cat scenes are “serious” and the Sven scenes are more SD comedy affairs. The inevitable plot development, however, will be that Sven and Black Cat will work together because Black Cat sure is not going to work for an evil society forever.
\nHow will the teen and the green haired one get along? Problem is, I’m getting no clues.<\/p>\n

It looks good, except for the children. The past version of Train has a huge head and a tiny body. It’s kind of reminiscent of Geobreeders<\/I> but less lousy. The most ambiguous thing about the entire project is the ED, which comes out thusly:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

What am I supposed to make of that amongst the murder and mayhem?<\/p>\n

So is Black Cat<\/I> serious or is it some kind of weird imbalanced action comedy drama that seems to be all the rage nowadays? I don’t know. I normally don’t watch something because it looks “cool”, but that appears to be what I’m doing with Black Cat<\/i>. Three more episodes are already available so I can make that decision fairly quickly.<\/p>\n

Nun kicking!<\/p>\n
