Tezuka In English Discussion Forums

The Black Jack original video anime series by the late director Osamu Dezaki will get an 11th and final volume, more than a decade after the previous volume. The video anime series adaptation of Osamu Tezuka's manga originally ran from 1993 to 2000. It's unknown if Dezaki was involved in the new OVA.

Not only will Akio Ohtsuka and Yuko Mizutani reprise their respective voice roles of Black Jack and Pinoko, but they will record their lines during a live video stream on the Nico Nico Douga website on Saturday, May 14 at 2:00 p.m. Japan Time (1:00 a.m. EDT) .

OMG OMG OMG! OMG! I'm already hyped and excited about the new OVA! \(^o^)/

I'm still in shock. This is such amazing news. I wonder if they're doing this in dedication to Dezaki?

Those who know me well will know that I'm hoping really hard they'll release the entire series on Blu-ray after this (in Japan of course).
