9 /10

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 differenceto 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.
