City Hunter

In order to adapt this manga for a modern audience, City Hunter tries to reduce the original's sexism and main character's sexualization and objectification of women, but there's still plenty of it.

Accessible and endlessly energetic, City Hunter should hit the target for fans and first-timers alike.

It's as silly as crying wolf when thinking you spotted a Brown Bear monster in the film.

You can get away with a lot of this stuff in video games and animation. But this tries to go the extra step... It's just not that engaging.

A cheesy crime action-drama with some comedy thrown in. What's most interesting about it is how backward these characters are and how different Japanese attitudes are from ours.

A lively, action-packed extravaganza that successfully brings the anime to life.

While maintaining a structure similar to its predecessor, director Kenji Kodama infuses fresh elements throughout.

Suzuki makes the silly story fun to follow between fights with a giggling, juvenile charisma that is hard to resist.

It is a very Japanese comedy, with its characteristic excesses and conventions. [Full review in Spanish]

The horniness of the tone and main character can be off-putting, but when viewed in context of his heart, the antics showcase an endearing contradiction with the outward projection versus the inward beliefs.
