The key member of City Hunter is Ryou Saeba; armed with his trusty Colt Python and pinpoint accuracy, he works alongside willful tomboy Kaori Makimura. Together they solve tough cases and tackle the numerous dangers that accompany their trade head-on. However, when he's not out hunting crooks and villains, Ryou finds pleasure in chasing beautiful ladies with only Kaori and her one hundred-ton hammer to keep him in check. From pickpockets and arms dealers to crime syndicates, nothing can stand in the way of Ryou Saeba when he takes aim at his next mission.

The only thing I can say to Ryo in this episode is: “Masterfully done, Ryo! Good show!” That trick shot was insane. I’d be even more impressed if he hadn’t even eaten breakfast yet when he managed to nab the main villain. Heck, I anticipated how Ryo was going to get him, but the way he actually pulled it off definitely caught me off guard.
This episode reminded me of the one in Episode 29. I'm still stumped about how the children know about City Hunter while some lowly villain doesn't. As for the story, I still prefer the one in Episode 29 because the story is much more engaging. P.S. I don't think Ryo is a good role model for children in this episode
This was a pretty strange episode from start to finish. The characters themselves felt unusual, with each one having either a quirky personality trait or a rather odd character design. Unfortunately, the episode title also takes away from the mystery at the heart of the story, as it essentially gives away the twist before the episode is even halfway through. As for the story itself, it was definitely lacking, even when judged on its own and not compared to the previous episode.
Yep, you aren't mistaken when you read the episode title. This episode is about Saeko's little sister. The two of them are very different, save for their beauty and a certain aspect of their character that Ryo immediately notices. It's a two-part story, and as expected, the story is pretty great. It even showcases just how inhuman Ryo's abilities are and how terrifying his senses can be.
The story in this episode initially reminded me of the one from Episode 11, but the villain here isn’t entirely comical and the female client reminded me of foxy Saeko. For the past few episodes, there’s been one thing that’s been pretty obviously hinted at. If you’ve picked up on it, then the final episode probably won’t come as much of a surprise.
I really thought the story would be quite complex at the start, but towards the middle of the episode, it became rather straightforward. The villains could also use more context in their stories, since their motives don't align with the situation of their target. The only memorable thing about this episode is Ryo being chased by women, although for a the wrong reason 😅
The story of this episode is definitely bizarre, right up to the way it ended. There’s no lack of context on either side, but overall, I can’t say that the episode is great in any way. Still, it was an entertaining watch.
This was a lackluster episode. Why? Because the characters aren't explored much in just one episode. It's such a shame that the episode introduces three characters, yet none of them are explored in depth. Adding to that, Ryo's confrontation with the villains isn't exactly exciting.
In a way, Yoko and Kikkuno from the previous episode are pretty similar. Even though the paths they eventually took went in completely opposite directions. Yoko's story is pretty sad in a way, but knowing what she'll be doing afterward makes it feel kind of bittersweet.
I pretty much saw what the story was going to be in this episode. The story was executed properly, but in my honest opinion, any scum who harms children should go down. However, in my own headcanon, the villain was hunted down first before the sequence at the end happened.
I wish they had elaborated more on the story of Ryo’s client through a flashback to make it more dramatic. Aside from that, I can understand why the episode was divided into two parts since it doesn’t really revolve around a specific story but rather focuses on a character. Based on her actions and what Ryo notices about her, I feel like there might be a twist involving her in the next episode.
The story feels a bit underwhelming, especially after how great the previous two episodes were. This episode’s story seemed to get overshadowed, which made it feel less impactful overall. That said, I really liked how Ryo was paired with such a strong-willed and dedicated woman. In a way, after completing his job, Ryo managed to help his client mellow out while also imparting an important lesson along the way.
It’s past the halfway point of the series, and there’s a new OP. If you’re wondering why it sounded familiar, it’s because it was played as background music in the previous episode. It’s an Umibozu episode, and I can guarantee that the story is great. Not only that, but it’s a two-part episode, so the story doesn’t feel rushed at all.
The story is cute, and it’s pretty much a feel-good episode. Some scenes were executed poorly, and the villains were pretty lame. Despite all that, the main scene was done pretty well, so overall, it was still an enjoyable episode.
The woman connected to the job is pretty similar to Episode 9. The only difference is that the context isn’t lacking for the characters, and the ending is pretty much open-ended. Ryo also displayed some trick shots, so it was satisfying to see them again.
Ryo in this episode is basically the City Hunter version of GTO. After watching the episode, I couldn’t help but smile and think, “This is so silly,” but in the best way possible.
The episode title may look suspicious but the story itself is definitely great. Only a stone-hearted person wouldn't be moved by the story of this episode.
As the episode title suggests, this is another Umibozu-focused episode. The story is pretty great, with a rather bittersweet ending. Ryo doesn't play much of a main role this time around, and surprisingly, he even ends up acting as something of a wingman for Umibozu.
The episode started off feeling monotonous, but after Ryo read some very odd news, the story started to pick up. I can guarantee that the story is pretty great. For someone craving some action and suspense, this episode definitely hits the spot. P.S. This is just my honest opinion, but the meddling of a certain someone during the ordeal was definitely unnecessary.
To be honest, for a romance story, it felt pretty weak and predictable. It was a shame that Ryo’s role wasn’t as significant as it was in the previous episode. That felt like a big missed opportunity to at least enrich the story.
