 Production company Aniplex announced a new anime movie for Tsukasa Houjou's City Hunter manga on Friday. The movie is commemorating the anime series' 35th anniversary. Voice actor Akira Kamiya is returning to star as Ryou Saeba. The first television anime's ending theme "Get Wild" by TM NETWORK will be used as the ending theme for the new movie. Hojo serialized the comedy detective manga in Weekly Shounen Jump magazine from February 1985 to November 1991. The manga inspired four TV anime, two OVAs, four anime films, three specials, and four anime films. City Hunter: Shinjuku Private Eyes, the latest anime movie produced by Sunrise, premiered in February 2019, grossing over 1.5 billion yen in the box-office. The series was also previously adapted into multiple live action adaptations outside Japan, including a Hong-Kong live action movie released in 1993, as well as a French live action movie titled Nicky Larson et le parfum de Cupidon in February 2019.

| It is good to hear this news. |
| Oh my god, I'll never catch up with all of City Hunter at this rate!! Although, I guess more City Hunter isn't a bad thing. |
 |
| Yess!!!! I never thought they would do another adaptation!!! <3 |
| where is the entry ayy |
  "I can't trust a website where csm is rated higher than hxh"- Akira Toriyama  |
| This is really good to hear. I am a big City Hunter fan so I will be keeping a keen eye on this. |
| Wow this is a surprise. I can’t wait to see what they’ll do with it. Gives me more motivation to dive into the manga |
 |
| I'm almost done with City Hunter, but I never seen Shinjuku Private Eyes. Hopefully the new City Hunter movie will be available overseas or on Crunchyroll. |
 |
| The last film was great, and the franchise seems to be experiencing a real renaissance of late. That's something I didn't expect to happen and so that's a great thing that more people are experiencing it. Plan to read the manga as soon as I can too now it's out in English again. |
| One day I'll consume this series |

Pakumen- said: Tokoya said: One day I'll consume this series Same here. It seems fun, but damn is it a long series to binge. Just take it one series at a time. I started City Hunter about two years ago and now I have six episodes left. Also City Hunter is an episodic series so you don't have to binge it all at once. |

Haneken2086 said: The return of the Mokkori badass! I'd prefer a new TV show, but a new film sounds great too. I saw people on the ANN forum saying that Akira Kamiya is the most expensive voice actor in Japan. So unfortunately, movies are probably the best we can hope for. |
| I watched the French Nicky Larson et le parfum de Cupidon movie and it was the MOST HILARIOUS movie I've ever seen! more people need to watch it. It was absolute madness XD XD XD |

| So excited. Just what I needed. Hopefully they bring back the old cast. let’s see if they do a blu-ray or theater release in the US too, cus I want that so bad. Maybe they’ll release an English version of the manga again too. |
