A city where crimes are always taking place, you are in danger, so what should you do? Call for Ryo Saeba, the City Hunter.

I am one of those who refuses the modernization given to a work that remains solid of this level, but I confess that it was very interesting see they dealing with the people of today, seeing how Ryo remains the same immature in various situations and falling even more on women. ... is a sweet nostalgia. I was happy to see the original voices in this show, some sounded a little dry, but it depended on the moments, even a stark difference to their original, was acceptable.

The plot itself is predictable, but wait, who cares about the plot anyway? We watch City hunter to see exaggerated adventures, this movie fulfills it very well, despite a stopped start, it gets better and better until throw you in a scenario of pure action, and holy shit I got stuck in the chair when the last act started, It's so satisfying, it's like I've been back to 1987.

The original City Hunter's rich humor is there, the characters' sexual jokes and immaturities, I like how they play puns from a bygone era, certainly made me smile. All the characters are back, including Cat's Eye and even the Doctor, seeing Umibouzu taking action like a rambo is fantastic, this movie triumphs to a big fanservice, but that's okay, after all it's a good fanservice, the main girl is acceptable, but I feel that she is forgotten in the first part, or doesn't have much focus, but well, this movie didn't want to give 100% of its characterization, but then its fragments are collected.

But there are problems with the sound, some moments I felt that the characters' voice was very low in compensation for a nice volume, but when there were action scenes, the audio exploded, it was a nuisance ... But I want to highlight something special, the osts The originals are all interconnected here, it is gratifying that they did not change to a poorer version of the original, but kept the same as they used during the old days of the original animation.

It was one of the rare moments that I watched a movie until its end of credits, quite entertaining, even though it is a random story, it is a film that respects the old fans of the original, even its original theme song is played. I wish this movie had 5 more minutes so I could enjoy it even more, maybe hoping to see more of the characters elsewhere or see more character characterizations, but overall it's a great movie.

Criminal Organizations ... Womens ... Chase ... Bullets and Explosions! This is City Hunter Shinjuku Private Eyes, a huge gift for the franchise.

What a fun reunion full of fan-service ("the Professor" is here !) with every character apart from Saeko getting some action and the required humour. Each one is faithful to his old self, with maybe Kaori and Ryô who seemed rather childish a good chunk of the movie (I could mention Umibozû but it's a joke so...)
The modernization is everywhere (even running through the story in an interesting way) in this concept confronting the City Hunter to the "present world", with some exaggerations here & there (ex: a virtual visitors board?!).

The great musics from the series sound superior to the rest of an otherwise read more

As an anime comes from 1980s era, this remake really something you can not seen on everyday. Their art was something pretty better than your decent hystorical show lately. The City Hunter series on 20s centuries, quite fun watch, and even too nice rather other show on this original era. I mean, look that their motion. Their comical art and animation so rememberred as something come from my past. Yet, im born from the 90s. But this show was much cool than almost my entire cartoon thingy i ever seen. The quality too, to be rememberred as West country cartoon, ofc on USA or from UK. This is better than most of their relative cartoons show, i think!

Maybe i wrong about some parts. But, thats just all of my initial thought with their art originality. Not mentioning their character too, like coming from the past and feel my future-present day, how funny! So long until wandering what was going on in these show action figured really match the Shounen style, and the hero of an America classic standard style. Thats was it. Even their villain persona character seem so be their past classical standard. I mean, yeah, i am an old dude. This show suit well to my past years. Their story trying to adjust on these era's problem, and be solved as a futuristic way of conclusion. They did it, with the more classical finishing blow as i ever seen before at my cliche 20s era show. What a match, what a show!

Not much i can say again. If you interested with the style of an American video of animation, this series will be my recommendation. If you like the Shounen or the hero style, traditional way of power, this suit you well. Not much romance, no ecchi scenes to satisfy your desire. But, this show had a huge amount of action with a massive battle and contact of gun on the way through the end. Happy ending, and they live happily ever after forever. Thats my summary. This show overall shall get my 8 to show my gratitude, even i dont even fitted with MC power explanations (i dont watch their first series, i dont have a resources tho)

To the detail of every section:
Story shall get 8 (can not be my best story, so the 7 score was good for me)
Sound at 7 (my negative was the sound too ambient and too noisy, like it close some character voice of dialogue)
Art got my 7
Character take my 9
And enjoyment get my 9

Thats it, i dont get along with the art, because i dislike the american comic style. All of them can not get my 10 because really had solid explanations to be the masterpieces by my judgement. Only character really be my liking, i like how their woman be a heroine on this show. Love their action, especially with the trio woman combat. Love the way they move along, so naturally like they will life forever on that universe. Not much mentioning MC, his action combat like a Ramboo, with much funny-joke-perverted man action. Thats your typical hero on most of Holywood film, right? Just imagine it, and you will be surprised. Unexpected.

The only reason i am being biased on this review is because i have followed through with the entire series way-back. pays homage to the original anime bringing out prequels and side characters like the ones-(spoiler alert)- from the cats eye anime series, not to mention all the original soundtracks from the 80s, the animation is good quality the characters look the same but HD, i loved this series because its one of those anime's that has some serious messages undertoned by slapstick humor,its got everything i like from the old anime and is not over the top, you'd love it if you were bored read more
