The City Hunter original manga author Tsukasa Hojo provided his comments on Netflix Japan’s official Twitter account.- What did you think of the Netflix movie “City Hunter”? It was fun and really interesting. This is the first time that the manga has gotten its live-action adaptation in Japan, and I think I understand why overseas fans say ‘”t has to be in Shinjuku.” I think everyone’s image of “City Hunter” is Ryo and other’s flying around in Shinjuku like this. I think many people will enjoy the thrill of seeing it as a reality.- Message to the fans
The “City Hunter” movie, which has finally come to be realized, is really fun. I hope that fans of the original work and fans of the anime will watch it just to see what it is like. It doesn’t matter if you just want to watch it before going to bed. I am sure it will be so interesting that you won’t be able to fall asleep. Please enjoy it.
