Take all Gonzo of 00s. Calculate the arithmetical mean. And then divide it by two.
Because 'Black cat' is twice as bad as I could expect.
A very mysterious MC works for a mysterious organisation that protects world peace by fighting other mysterious organisations. Then he meets a mysterious girl who changes his view of the world, a mysterious carefree man, another mysterious girl with superpowers, and of course, he has a mysterious colleague who eventually sets to found another mysterious organisation. Which is revealed to be a part of another mysterious plot. And by the way, other mysterious characters constantly flock to the scene.
This could be rather nice if the production didn't seem to be divided between different managers. One managed the mysterious part, but didn't have enough resources. Another managed the funny part and failed splendidly, because the MC starting to joke around and behave like a fool after losing an important person in a battle - no, it's not funny.
There was a good designer, though, who introduced a revolutionary idea of interchanging pictures of the fierce battle and its static outcome, jumping between the current moment and several minutes ahead. But this was the only idea he managed to introduce, it seems, as it was used several times in the show, and spoiler: it does not look very new and entertaining when it's used for the 3rd time.
Why were these famous voice actors working so hard, I wonder?
I mean, it's the kind of anime series that makes me feel that secondhand embarrassment. If anyone new to anime saw this show and started thinking anime is all trash, I wouldn't even blame him.
