Or not, there are plenty of old anime getting spin-offs and reboots lately.

Anyway, present day Ryo huh, hopefully they can still bring out the cool and suave sharpshooter.

I doubt they will make him aged. Just the setting is modern.

Imagine my surprise when I woke up this morning. They better reprise Akira Kamiya for the role; his performance as the eponymous City Hunter really made the series.
MAL already confirmed that Akira and Kazue, who voice Kaori, are back.

After almost three decades? Goddamn.

Can't wait!!! Hopefully, more episodes/movies will come in the near future. City Hunter is a gem, especially Ryo Saeba.

As long as Akira Kamiya can reprise his role for Ryu, all I'm good. Either way I'll be sure to watch it, and should probably watch more of the original series as well.

Not sure what to think of this.

I'm one of the biggest old school nuts out there, but I never watched the original City Hunter, because based on what I've heard about it, the main character appears to be a big pervert, and that gets tiring to see after a while, so I don't think I'll ever watch it.

Not a pervert, a womanizer, in my opinion describes him better. It can get boring after a while, but if you are into old school then it's a must watch.

If it indeed will be Kamiya and Kazue then I'm in. Can you also bring back Tatsumi Yano's music to top it off? I guess I'm asking for too much.

He comes off as really desperate for poon in a lot of ways, but when he goes full serious business mode, it actually nets him the girls at times. I assume this is his MO if he keeps doing it episode after episode.

Modern day Shinjuku...that's gonna be something. Ryo, Kaori and others are a product of their times. I just can't help imagining them coming off as tryhards to stay hip and cool in late 2010's Japan.

The TV Shows are GOLD , the characters are funny and serious at times , I've watched them some time ago , but I can still remember almost everything about this show . Yes , he is a bit of a perv but it's not that bad .
IMO it's your loss if you don't watch them

I never thought modern anime fans would get to see Ryo Saeba's pervy greatness. Especially in the SJW / #MeToo era. They only really know of Onizuka pretty much copying him in GTO. MOKKORI~ I suppose there's now a reason not to quit anime and stay alive until 2019... most likely for high expectation disappointment.

There was Angel Heart in more recent post-CH years - which I consider to be City Hunter S5 - but that had a low cel>digital transition budget. It was still great but this, as a reboot-thing, NEEDS that old school cel charm to please fans. Hopefully there won't be too much CG. Teaser was pure Get Wild nostalgia.

I felt the same way, but I eventually decided to see it last year and used this list: http://anizkeep.free.fr/city-hunter-filler-list.html
I also took breaks in between seasons.
In all honesty though, City Hunter is one of my favorites now. It's very classy and iconic.

Well then, perhaps I'll give it a shot someday.

LOL are you kidding me?? I'm starting s3 and I see THIS? OMG

Tho I've to say that I don't see easy to pull off a show like this nowadays. Besides that the VAs were great, I don't know if they can use the same ones or hire someone with the same skills.

It's been some time since City Hunter returned. I've heard good things about it, and will try to catch some episodes.

It's one of those 80s-set criminal stories, which are great for their time but nowadays could feel like a vintage tale. I think this film will provide an updated story/time with tech and drones, similar to the recent Lupin III show. Here's hoping its updates work out well.
