'City Hunter' returns to the big screen

The new "City Hunter" film, which will be the series’ first anime adaptation to come out in 20 years, now has an official title — "City Hunter The Movie: Shinjuku Private Eyes," and an official trailer has been released on the movie’s website as well. But what may be the most exciting piece of news for "City Hunter" fans is that the film will have the same ending theme, “Get Wild”, as the old TV anime series.

▼ Here’s the trailer for the new movie. Naturally, the artwork seems to have a somewhat modern, updated look, but it ‘s still dazzling.

Another huge bonus for fans is that the original main cast from the TV series will be reprising their roles in the new movie, including: Akira Kamiya who will be playing the lead as Ryo; Kazue Ikura, who will be voicing his trusted partner Kaori; Harumi Ichiryusai (formerly Yoko Asagami), who will play the sexy detective Saeko; and Tessho Genda, who will voice Umibozu, Ryo’s ex-special forces friend and nemesis. Considering it’s been 20 years since the last anime production, it truly is amazing they were able to get the original voice actors together, and we can’t help but feel excited about the movie.

▼ They also revealed the main poster for the new movie.

"City Hunter The Movie: Shinjuku Private Eyes" will open in theaters across Japan on Feb 8, 2019.
