"City Hunter" Season 1 Set 2 Blu-ray - The exploits of the legendary sweeper set in the streets of Shinjuku

Set in the streets of Shinjuku, City Hunter is a series packed with thrilling action and laughter, featuring the legendary sweeper. This Blu-ray set includes the second half of the first season (episodes 27-51).

The appeal of the work

Based on the manga of the same name by Hojo Tsukasa and directed by Kodama Kenji, this popular anime series is characterized by its unique worldview, which exquisitely blends hard-boiled elements with comical direction. As one of the most representative anime of the 1980s, it continues to be loved by many fans to this day.

The setting and protagonist of the story

The protagonist, Ryo Saeba, is a sweeper based in Shinjuku who goes by the code name "City Hunter." From bodyguarding to resolving troublesome cases, he is a professional who always completes any job he takes on. One of the appeals of the series is the unique system in which to request him, all you have to do is write "XYZ" on the message board at Shinjuku Station and leave your contact information.

Ryo's partner, Kaori Makimura, is well known for the famous scene in which she uses a giant hammer to stop Ryo's violent behavior towards women. The two work together in perfect harmony as they take on dangerous missions in the underworld.

Contents

This Blu-ray set contains all 25 episodes of the second half of the first season of the TV anime "City Hunter," from episodes 27 to 51. The total running time is approximately 600 minutes, and the recommended viewing age is 13 and above.

Highlights of the main story

In the second half of the first season, Shinjuku becomes more dangerous than ever, facing a variety of threats, including corrupt police officers with ties to the Yakuza and the return of the mafia organization that killed Ryo's former partner.

Meanwhile, Ryo Saeba will face off against evil alongside not only Kaori Makimura, but also new rivals and allies: Umibozu, known as another Alpha Sweeper, and Reika Nogami, a private detective and the younger sister of Saeko Nogami, a top detective in Tokyo.

The deepening relationships between the characters and episodes related to each of their pasts are also highlights.

Video and audio

Another interesting element is the realistic depiction of the real-life city of Shinjuku, and the underworld scene at the time. The atmosphere of Shinjuku in the 1980s is depicted in great detail, and the details that give a sense of the era are also a point of interest.
