I was shaken a little bit by the art style, and almost didn't watch the show because of it, but I'm glad I did. Seeing Kuro Hazama's life as a medical student before he became the infamous "Black Jack" was definitely something I've been wanting to see when I first watch the OVAs. It was interesting, and there was a lot of unnecessary fanservice - not that I'm complaining. My only problem with YBJ is the fact that the anime seemed a little rushed. There was only twelve episodes that captured Kuro's life as a medical student. I really wish that there was more depth withinthis anime and more episodes that showed some serious struggles with his studies. There were times when he was hesitant to perform a surgery because it was illegal, but other than that, there was hardly any conflict. Other than that, I was happy to see young Kuro's life before he became the doctor we all know and love. He was adorable and the comedy in the show - while there wasn't that much - was quite hilarious!
