The return of the gods, the new work of "City Hunter" "City Hunter Shinjuku Private · Eyes", released in spring 2019
Since the beginning of 2018, a wave of "Renaissance" has swept through the year's new list. "Magic Card Girl Sakura", "Tomorrow's Father" commemorative works "Megalo Box", "All Metal Frenzy", "Sword Art Online", "Magical Forbidden Arts Catalog" and other famous works have been released one after another.
And this trend will obviously continue into 2019. In January 2019, the remake of the "Saint Seiya Star" anime will be released in 2019, and now the famous "City Hunter" announced that it will be released in the early spring of 2019, this theatrical version will be a new plot, but the voice actors of Yu Yu and Ah Xiang continue to be played by Akira Kamiya and Kazue Ikura.
I believe that a large number of domestic audiences have learned about this work through the live-action movie starring Jackie Chan or the Korean drama "City Hunter".
Hojo's City Hunter manga and anime adaptations feature the protagonist, Tsubasa, although seemingly and idle, accepts the work of various desperate clients like an urban legend. And Ah Xiang is the sister of his original partner Hideyuki Makimura, and Ah Xiang is also the partner of Yu Yu, and the common interaction between the two in the manga is that Ah Xiang takes a hammer and beats the beautiful woman with a large hair.
The name of the new theatrical version of City Hunter has been determined as "City Hunter< Shinjuku Private · Eyes>》。
【The original class of people and horses to create a classic】
The story is set in contemporary Shinjuku, and in 1989, Kodama Kenji, the supervisor of the 1989 City Hunter TV version and the theatrical version of the anime City Hunter: Magnum of Love and Fate, served as the chief supervisor of the new theatrical version, and the animation series of "Monster Watch" was written by Yoichi Kato, and the animation production was still Sunrise.
Akira Kamiya and Kazue Ikura also voiced the City Hunter anime again after a gap of 29 years.
"City Hunter" is the pinnacle of Hojo's work, in the "Cat's Eye Three Sisters" period, its painting style is not mature, often appears out of proportion, the scene grasp is limited, but from the last volume of "Cat's Eye Three Sisters" began to mature, and in the "City Hunter" created later, it continued its signature extreme realism style in the future.
Although the plot is slightly old-fashioned today, because of the clever setting, even today it is a first-class level. Hojo's character portrayal is meticulous, paying great attention to the portrayal of the character's heart, the case design is very clever, the plot is full, and it creates a flesh-and-blood male protagonist.
Meng Bo's image design was the ideal form of a man at that time, handsome and dashing, with a strong sense of justice, heavy affection, extreme bravery, slightly lustful boys, and from time to time committed peach blossom robbery.
Although beautiful women are often used to please readers when comic strips are serialized, they are all to the point, highlighting the shy era of ignorance and fanaticism.
This is undoubtedly a god work that is difficult to encounter today, and now that the new work is coming, you may wish to supplement the manga and animation to appreciate the charm of the god work.
