Where to watch City Hunter anime: Streaming details explored

The City Hunter anime is based on a Japanese manga created by Tsukasa Hojo. From 1985 to 1991, the manga was serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump, and its publisher, Shueisha, compiled it into 35 tankobon volumes. Sunrise Studios turned it into an anime television series in 1987.

City Hunter gave rise to a global media empire with several adaptations and spin-offs. Four anime television series, three anime television specials, five animated features, a number of live-action films, computer games, and a live-action Korean TV drama are all part of the franchise.

City Hunter also had a spin-off manga called Angel Heart, which gave rise to both a live-action Japanese TV drama and its own anime television series.

Fans can now return to the action-packed comedy anime to learn more about the entertaining characters and their storylines as the film Angel Dust approaches the big screens.
