That should have stayed a manga only!

Black Cat should've stayed a manga IMO. The anime started out alright as it was a little different...

Spoiler:

....Sven meeting Train while the latter was still an assassin of Chronos instead of a dumb new sweeper that passes out in the middle of the street due to hunger, as in the manga special.

....but the episodes started to get a little weird later on. They changed the ending somewhat which made it a liiitttttllee bit interesting, but in the end I guess they shouldn't have bothered.

Basically any long manga (over 20+ volumes) will eventually stagnate before it gets to the end. Especially when the manga hasn't even finished yet. In cases like these, writers and directors are forced to make stuff up (Rurouni Kenshin after the Kyoto Arc) or take things in an entirely different direction (Full Metal Alchemist, Hellsing) or just leave a hanging ending and hope someone else gets round to continuing it (Berserk).




Jam it back in, in the dark.
