The Blu-ray also includes the following bonus features:
- • Commentary with director Osamu Dezaki (episodes 1, 6 and 10)
- • Interviews with Masao Maruyama, Akio Otsuka, Yuko Mizutani, and more
- • Original promotional materials from Japan and the U.S.
- • Includes original 4×3 SD versions of eps 1-7
The first ten Black Jack OVAs were directed by Dezaki, with Tezuka Productions responsible for the animation production. The OVA episodes were released between December 12, 1993, and July 25, 2000. Two new OVAs titled Black Jack Final emerged in December 2011, which were directed by different individuals following Dezaki’s passing in April 2011.
The original manga series by Osamu Tezuka was serialized in Akita Shoten’s Weekly Shonen Champion magazine from November 19, 1973, to October 14, 1983. A total of 17 tankobon volumes were released in Japan. The manga was formerly published in English in the U.S. by Vertical. Kodansha USA currently publishes the manga in English.
The manga also inspired several other TV anime adaptations, OVAs, anime films, and various prequel and spinoff manga titles.
AnimEigo outlines the main premise of the Black Jack OVAs as:
When mysterious medical ailments arise, there is only one person to call: the enigmatic Black Jack – an unlicensed doctor who can remedy any illness… for a fee. Accompanied by his spunky little sidekick Pinoko, Dr. Black Jack travels the globe, curing diseases that, at times, appear almost supernatural. But is there always a cure… or is there?
The Blu-ray is available for pre-order on MediaOCD’s official website.
