Black Cat or White Cat?

Black Cat! An anime i watched pretty far back, (I think it was like 3 years back or more). But till now it still left a deep impression on me! I guess the fighting and all wasn't really memorable, but the story was. It had kinda a sad backdrop to the protagonist, Train Heartnet. He's a famous cold-hearted assassin for an underground organization that kinda has connections throughout the world. One day he met this girl on a rooftop, Saya, who is this happy go lucky bounty hunter. He started getting closer to her, and he started to lighten up and opened himself to her. She taught him the value of life and to treasure friendship. And ultimately, he fell for her (Obviously). Tragically, one day Train's fellow assassin/psychotic rival, Creed, felt that Train was losing his assassin heart due to Saya and murdered her. Train arrived too late but just in time to see Saya one last time.

Well, that was only the prologue to the whole story, the main story is Train's current life, a much more happy go lucky person, with a group of friends doing bounty hunter work after he quit the organization. Met many new friends, but he kinda never forgot about his past. Until one day he heard news of Creed and things started to stir again. Well, i guess the theme of the whole story was about Train's road to forget about his past and to gain a renewed freedom in life. The overall anime wasn't one of the best i've watched but it was definitely a decent one. I guess why this anime still kinda stuck to my mind was the sad background of the main protagonist. Hahaha! Or maybe because i'm currently reading To-Love Ru, written by the same mangaka... And also the ending song was great!!!
