This is done enough to perfectly classify this anime as one of the more unique genres: tactical. Each art piece is guarded or hidden in a different way, forcing Cat's Eye to come up with clever strategies in order to secure them. She has a lot of personality that brings life to this anime.Įvery episode has Cat's Eye stealing a piece of art, usually one of their lost father's masterpieces. However, she's advanced enough to create interesting gadgets for Cat's Eye to use in their heists.
Ai, unlike her older sisters, is still a kid going through school. You can see this through her frequent interactions with her boyfriend, who I'll get to later. Hitomi, who's usually the one to steal the art, is more of an anime girl you'd find in modern anime. She remains clearheaded in every situation, and comes up with rational ideas. Rui, who was my favorite of the three, is the beautiful one. From oldest to youngest, there's Rui, Hitomi, and Ai. The darker criminals often make this anime feel like a modern day crime drama.īut Cat's Eye, a trio of sisters, are the recurring criminals. Different gangs and crime bosses with authentic personalities are portrayed in many of the episodes, serving as the bad half of the crime spectrum, whereas Cat's Eye serves as the good half. The three main characters, collectively known as Cat's Eye, are criminals, but they're definitely the nicest criminals compared to any of the others The realism is what might make Cat's Eye seem boring at first, but a lot is done with the realism to set up tense environments. It's also one of the most realistic, meaning I was stepping outside of my comfort zone to watch it. Not only is it one of the longer ones I've watched, it's also the oldest one I've watched. I rarely write anime reviews, but this one is so long that I had to compile my feelings on it. Despite this, I think this is a great show from the 1980's and I highly suggest it. It felt as if much of the scenarios had played out and that story lines were merely being wrapped up. Overall I enjoyed the show, although once you get in to the last 15 episodes or so, I found that it became a bit more tedious to watch. I'd like to see more interaction between Toshi and Hitomi, but the limits we get were more because of the end of the series. I never got tired of seeing the characters nor did I feel annoyed by any one character. The background music was a 1980's stylized swing/jazz and was always used appropriately and is great to listen to.Ĭharacters are well developed and acted. Both intros were fun to listen to and very 1980's as were the outros.
Otherwise the art style closely resembles Scooby-Doo from my childhood, but even better. Not a huge bother and actually becomes charming after a few episodes, but does seem odd. There are some odd things like the eyes always seem to be crossed. It feels era appropriate and I genuinely enjoyed it.
Toshi and Kisugi sisters get into are entertaining. Nonetheless, the shenanigans and near misses that
CAST NET EYE FULL
In other words, there aren't any huge plot lines left open, just that there isn't a full resolution. It ends as if there were more to come, but still manages to feel like a proper wrap up. The thing about Cat's Eye is that it's only linked by one element and unfortunately, I don't remember that element ever being dully resolved. You'd think it would get old quick, but honestly, the premise doesn't wear thin until you get very late into the show. The story line to Cat's Eye is a pretty simple premise. Knowing that this show is from 1983 it looks very good and the animation is all right. Shows like this one must be a nightmare for the Japanese police! The trio sure is daring running a café right in front of the police station with the name of the criminal group… Wearing masks or disguises is also not necessary if you are as good as them… And on top dating the detective in charge of the investigation… Hilarious. But for me this wasn’t that much of a problem. The overall plot, the reason why the three Kisugi sisters are stealing art and jewels gets somehow overshadowed most of the time by the frequent burglaries and the hide and seek with the police. Can’t get tired of phantom thief stories à la Lupin III or Kaito Kid? Cat’s Eye has 3 good looking sisters pursuing this infamous profession to find their missing father.ħ3 mostly independent episodes – Sometimes a bit repetitive but always with some nice action, comedy and eye candy especially for the male audience.
