Review of City Hunter
Its a high rating, I know unbelievable right? well thats just how much I've enjoyed it, I first stumbled upon City Hunter when I was a kid around 4-5 years old, and even then it was dubbed completely in cantonese, and it was one of the coolest series I watched at that age, it was actually the reason I got into guns when I was a kid, the sound of the Magnum 357 python, was just stunning, and the accuracy and the amazing skill that Saeba Ryo possesses. To me it was a comedy, action, ecchi, adventure and crime series. The art was really good for itstime. very detailed and I liked the mature style of it, the eyes not being to big and cute.
The music is also really good, I loved the Asphalt song the original ending, its just perfect when its put together with a great scene.
The action is good, and due to Ryo's Pinpoint accuracy he only requires 1 shot to kill, but you also see him perform so incredible feats.
The voice acting is great (I rewatched the series in japanese dub, and it was perfect as well, the acting of each voice actor was great, and the emotions expressed was nearly perfectly matched with the cantonese dub, which is rare today.)
Ryo Saeba is a mystery his exisitance is a mystery, his orgins is unknown even his age and real name. This sense of mystery was an attraction because you want to know more about this person.
Ryo has a partner who helps him find work, and negotiates a price.
Ryo has a policy though "I only accept the requests and jobs of beautiful women" Which is a strange request. but is his only condition.
There are a variety of interesting characters, like Umibozo who is funny and nearly as good as ryo.
Overall there is alot to explain, but to me there is no real finale to city hunter, until the arc of Glass Heart appeared. which shows you more of Ryo's Future and past.
I hope you all enjoy this as much as me.
