Review of City Hunter

Story: (7) It follows a bounty hunter named Ryo Saeba who is paid by people to help them with serious situations. He works with his assistant Kaori. It's basically just a typical bounty hunter anime with an episodic formula but it works well since it's very entertaining! It has quite a few arcs sprinkled throughout but mostly single episode stories. There are episodes that range from great to meh. Ryo throughout the series is always trying to get with all the woman who hires him. Mainly good and entertaining for the most part! Art: (8) This anime is nice to look at. It is yourusual 80s art style but it's done quite well. The colors mixed with the homey feeling city streets makes for a comfortable viewing experience until bullets start flying. I will say that the first quarter of the anime, the art was alright but later in it started getting much better.

Sound: (7) The sound design is not bad! Not much to really say about it though. The soundtrack is quite good though!

Character: (8) The characters are overall good! We got Ryo, Kaori, Makimura(small character), Seiko, Reika and Omibuzo. They all do their jobs with Reika and Seiko being detectives. Omibozu is another bounty hunter with a history with Ryo. Kaori is not bad, but she just serves as a block for Ryo to stop him from getting with woman and her brother Makimura plays way too small of a character which shouldn't of been the case.

Enjoyment/Overall: (8) Overall, I really enjoyed this anime! I know this is only technically just the first season but as a first season, it left a great impression on me. I'm going to continue watching from the second season. The show does get repetitive with its episodic formula but it's still good. This show was just so entertaining and enjoyable to me still! I don't see this as a flawless anime since it does have some duds within there and Kaori pulling out her hammer and hitting Ryo whenever he's being a ladies man, gets pretty stale quick. Check out this anime for a ton a fun action!
