TheServant said: I want to watch this, but that screenwriter does not really inspire confidence. You'd drop it anyway, so does it really matter? |
 |
| I guess it is time for me to start watching/reading City hunter, it's been a while that i planned to check it. |
| Aw yeah! I'm so excited about this! :D Especially after not getting a chance to see the OVA they bundled with the re-print of the manga. TheServant said: I want to watch this, but that screenwriter does not really inspire confidence. What's wrong with Youichi Katou? He penned some episodes of Space Brothers, and also worked on the Yatterman and Time Bokan revivals, and it seems he's the lead writer on Yokai Watch. Looking at the list of things he's worked on, he mostly does kids shows, but I'm sure his comedic sense would work great for the funny moments. Not sure about the serious moments, but I'm sure the director will guide him on that stuff. Staff seems good thus far, if you ask me. |

| Wow, that's a surprise. I will definitely wait, as I love the original series and its atmosphere of the 80's action movies. |

 "If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
