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.

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.

i've been interested in this series for a while, so i kind of hope this is a new adaptation of the manga rather than a spinoff or whatever—maybe something like the new lotgh series?
though if its not a new adaptation i guess i'll just read 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.

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.

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.

Can't wait. Though still waiting for a Collab with Detective Conan.
I really want to see Mouri Kogouro and Ryo Saeba team up.
I reckon these two will be hilarious together.

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.
