Since this series covered the time frame of Kuro's studies in medical school and ended with his internship just beginning, they did leave open the possibility of a second follow up series covering that period of time. I think the canon according to Tezuka had Blackjack become a fully licensed surgeon, and that he lost his license as a resident doctor due to using unapproved procedures (that only HE had mastered) to save a patient's life.

I loved the way that they made use of various characters from Tezuka's star system in this series. (They even snuck a Hyotansugi in there!) There was one character in there that might have been based on Tezuka himself, though not as a doctor.

If this was ever released on DVD, I'd probably buy it.

As it is the only way I am probably going to see this is if it is released on DVD, lol. So far it sounds interesting even if the animation from what I have seen is a touch off-putting to me and my personal tastes.
