An interesting series from which I expect a lot in terms of animation and entertainment.
Firstly, because the technical team is of high quality and it's a MAPPA production.
Although the first 2 episodes are easy to watch, the series doesn't escape the flaws of current productions:

Firstly, because the technical team is of high quality and it's a MAPPA production.
Although the first 2 episodes are easy to watch, the series doesn't escape the flaws of current productions:
- A basic scenario if you're a fan of Japanese animation that's afraid of going too far.
- a main character who's impossible to stop (prison, technology, policeman...) but a girl comes along! We know where this illogic comes from...
- a bunch of kids more intelligent than the population as a whole...
To be continued...
A well-crafted Season 2 in the same vein as Season 1.
Fluid animation (even if there are some easy solutions to avoid showing combat movements more precisely. For example: blue, red or white lines to suggest speed during combat), a well-crafted soundtrack, excellent opening credits... I'll qualify my remarks with 2 annoying points:
All in all, an interesting anime that ranks up there with the anime released over the same period.
I'd still encourage the public to read the manhwa to understand the essence of the work.

- Too many liberties in relation to the manhwa, which spoil or take away some of the essential substance of the work (points of humor, exchanged glances...)
- A Japanese chauvinism that ends up being noticeable. The anime is Japanese and the source material is Korean, and these 2 peoples don't like each other very much.
All in all, an interesting anime that ranks up there with the anime released over the same period.

Why is it so complicated to make a sequel to a cult anime from the 90's?
So much so that even its creator, Tsukasa Hojo, has succumbed to the rule of morality and self-righteousness.
What is City Hunter?
A "male" manga, the female counterpart to cat's eye. Sexualized characters, extreme or even vulgar humor, fan service, nudity, violence, suspense, dynamic stories worthy of a soap opera and, above all, charismatic characters.
Like it or not, this was City Hunter's trademark.
Let's be honest, it's outmoded in this day and age, with "fragile" viewers, recycled screenwriters, omnipresent censorship and non-existent artistic skills.
The only valid City Hunter "film" is and will remain : AÎ to shukumei no magnum.
It smells of reheating, with no daring or initiative, rough animation and an unstructured story.
In short, it does its job of entertaining current viewers.
