Black Jack is a deeply shady character; a heavily-scarred and black-wearing unlicensed surgeon who charges extortionate fees, he cuts a sinister figure. Children fear him, and the medical establishment despises him. He lives on the edge of town, speaking to only a few people, and he comes and goes as he wishes. When a serious attempt is made on Black Jack's life, destroying his cliff-top residence in the process, Black Jack swings into action to find the culprit. His only clue is a faded sepia photograph, showing his mentor and benefactor, Dr. Honma, alongside other mystery figures. Traveling around the world and facing great dangers, Black Jack seeks to find out the truth behind the organization which wants him dead!

But as Ryuk foretells, Light's actions will not go unchallenged...
If like a series with a strong main character, a few good plot twist, as well as a slightly dark feel at times to it then these can go to gether very well. However both have very different animation styles so can make a little defficult if you dont like the said style
Lupin, Jigen and Goemon are on a quest to find treasure hidden on Drift Isle- a mysterious island scattered with corpses. However, while searching for the loot, they come across a monstrous security system. Never one to run from a setback, Lupin decides to challenge the Military General who rules the mainland country, and steal Drift Isle’s treasure. However, with the security system to crack and the nation in a state of rebellion, Lupin has a lot to contend with… especially when he has a bounty placed on his head: $1 million, dead or alive!
Both Black Jack 21 and Lupin III Dead or Alive involve the protagonist being targeted by people who want them dead. Also both are at times extremely over the top and for maximum enjoyment should not be taken TOO seriously. So if you like the action and death threats in one then you may well enjoy the other.
Dr Kenzo Tenma is a genius surgeon working in post-Cold War Germany who has a bright future ahead of him. He is admired by his colleagues, loved by his patients, and due to marry his boss' daughter, the beautiful Eva Heinemann. One day, when two patients in desperate need of emergency surgery are wheeled into his hospital, Tenma faces a terrible choice of saving the orphaned boy who came first or the mayor of Düsseldorf, whose recovery would raise the hospital's profile and boost his own career. Against the demands of his superior, Tenma does what he believes is right and saves the child. However, his decision not only damages his prospects, but unleashes a chain of events so horrific that it might have come from the depths of his worst nightmares. Laden with guilt, Tenma begins a journey across Germany in search of a formidable young man who will challenge his morals, his love for life, and his very sanity.
There's the surgery element, but also more than that. Both doctors of their respective series are respectable and free thinking individuals. The stories of each series both have a overall mystery that begs for a resolution.
