Konichiwa neh....^^Do you LOVE this BLACK CAT anime so much just like I do? Like the COOL but warm TRAIN HEARTNET? Like the gentlemen SVEN VOLLFIED? or the kawaii EVE? or maybe the pretty and sexy RISNLET WALKER? or happy-go-lucky kinda girl named SAYA MINATSUKI? Well... for those who want to watch anime or still watching anime, and you are looking for some nice, sizzling action and humour, this is the anime for you. =D

An ex-assassin decides to go straight and become a bounty hunter. Unfortunately, his formoer associates are not going to make things easy for him.

About the anime

This story it's basically about a deadly assassin named Train Heartnet alias Black Cat, with the number "13" carved on his chest. He is a sharp-shooting assasin, just as it's believed that a passing black cat would bring a person bad luck, ditto for anyone who crosses Train Heartnet's path.

A member of the "Numbers", a group of assassins who work for the powerful organisation Chronos, Train is feared for his lethal skills with his gun Hades. The henchman executes his missions with cold accurancy and lives from mission with no fear or love. That is, untill he meets a "sweeper"(bounty hunter) named Saya who shows him that life is not the void it seems to be. They form a friendship that prompts Train to finally leave the Numbers and do what he wants.

Along the way, Tain meets Sven, a suffering sweeper who seems to be perpetually broke and hungry. And the two become partners. They take up all kinds of cases and meet interessting people like Rinslet Walker, a famous thief and man-ipulator, and Eve, a biologically-engineered girl who is the ultimate bio-weapon.

Unfortunately, it's not going to be easy for Train to walk away from his old life. Not when his departure fromChronos was met with hostility especially from Creed Diskenth, a lunatic with an almost paranoid admiration for Train and his skills.

Creed becomes a crucial part of the story when he forms the Apostles of the Stars, a group of super-powered killers bent on ridding the wolrd of "useless" people.

So, Train and Sven have to take on their most important (and sadly, non-paying) assignment yet: to thwart the Apostle of the Stars' evil plan to turn Earth inhabitants into submissive, mindless androids!

There are yet many sizzling battles~ Just download and watch it~ ^^
