Accidently came across this title on Netflix. I think I read some City Hunter manga and never really got into it. The movie was confidently made and Gun-fu sequence was kinda meh. It does feel a bit like live anime with uneven pacing. Love seeing the comic book hammer coming into the real life movie. The homage to the manga and anime was a lot better than I expected. Loved the actor who plays Ryo and dynamic of other characters in the comic book, but I can totally see the producer aiming for sequels. Max like TV series would have been great. Gun-fu portion was weirdly likeable and just dumb at the same time. I hope Gun-fu gets fleshed a bit better in sequels. Worth watching it as long as you are okay with some uneven pacing and some plot gaps. I was going between 5~7 ranges for the movie and it landed on 7 out of 10.

So sure. It did turn me off a bit with the unusual casting choice for what I am used for the time period, but this fits well in the YA genre. I liked the overall quality of the show and all the actors in the series. I will watch again if there is another season. Wonderful premise. Predictable story line. However, I can't take away from everyone and things in this series. Entertaining show. I enjoyed it. Give it a spin and see if this is your cup of tea.
