Ryo Saeba works the streets of Tokyo as the City Hunter. He's a "sweeper" and with his sidekick Kaori Makimura, he keeps the city clean. People hire the City Hunter to solve their dangerous problems, which he does with a Colt Python.
But before City Hunter can collect on his bonus of lacey lingerie and nights of passion, he's got to endure some rather dangerous foreplay: like a barrage of bullets and deadly, explosive-rigged toys.

City Hunter is one of the most entertaining anime I ever seen. It does not have alot of action, can be quite ecchi and the animation can be crude at times. But due to its excellent characters, the anime gets more entertaining the more you watch it. Ryo Saeba is charismatic, yet extremely entertain.

“City Hunter” started off with a bang yesterday, literally and figuratively, as viewers were introduced with scenes from Burma in 1983. Many non-Korean and young viewers are probably unaware that the bloody chaos Lee Yoon Sung's (Lee Min Ho) biological and adopted father witnessed was based on a true story.
The best and the most engaging parts of City Hunter are probably its chase sequences. The dynamic animation and upbeat background music multiply the enjoyment of the show. The characters’ unique and over-the-top humor is sure to tickle your funny bones!

Just as the protagonist, Ryo Saeba, a perfect marksman, never misses a shot, he never misses an opportunity to woo his female clients. This nature of his acts as a source to some fan-service as well. The best and the most engaging parts of City Hunter are probably its chase ...

People hire the City Hunter to solve their dangerous problems, which he does with a Colt Python. When Ryo's not working on a case, he's working on getting the ladies, and Kaori must keep him in check with her trusty 10 kg hammer. Add to history. Add to collection. Add to watchlist.
It is revealed that a branch of the Hong Kong mafia is interested in the plates. Ryo and Sakura is able to bust out of the mafia compound and Umibozu also walks out after realizing the men who hired him cannot be trusted. When the woman who originally hired City hunter is kidnapped, Sakura takes matters into her own hands and tries to bargain the counterfeit plates for the life of her brother and future sister-in-law, despite Sakura's hatred of her.
A bride literally falls into Ryo's lap and along with it, some goons hired by the jilted groom. While trying to sneak up on her during the middle of the night, Ryo gets stung by an experimental, but deadly bee. The bride does have the antidote, but as Kaori finds out, it has "terrible" side effects, most notably showing the feminine side of City Hunter.
When there is a spate of random shootings in Shinjuku, a sister of one of the victims wants Ryo to catch the killer and bring him to justice. But Ryo can tell that there is much more than justice that his client is interested in.
Through the four seasons of 140 episodes of City Hunter, the animation is vivid and pleasant, the voice actors cast brilliant, and the original soundtrack soulful and inspiring. The mind blowing action, the endearing comedy and the bittersweet romance make this anime a classic in the shounen genre, and certainly holds a special place in many hearts. As for the ending, you'll need to read to manga.
City Hunter has all I love: police investigation, action and humor! The story revolves around Ryo Saeba a sweeper (a kind of private detective), it is a very demanding detective because just take the case of beautiful woman! All this because he is a Mokkori. This word is present all the time in the episodes, say it is a "nickname" for pervert. Ryo and his friend Hideyuki Makimura, unite to form the City Hunter team in Tokyo. And to contact him, just leave a note with the symbol "XYZ" on the bulletin board at Shinjuku station. However, one day, Hideyuki, is murdered by a gang, and Ryo takes care of Hideyuki sister, Kaori, who becomes his new assistant. Kaori spends all his time chasing Ryo to prevent their "acts Mokkori" with their clients, and for this she enlists the help of a hammer of 100 tonnes, which is all the time at the ready just waiting for the slip Ryo. However this persecution Kaori seems actually involve her feelings for him. Sometimes Ryo also has the Umibozu help, another sweeper and longtime friends. Ryo also outsources their work to the detective Metropolitan Police Saeko Nogami, hoping one day he will get paid in "Mokkori", so he keeps a long list of favors already granted to it.
This large, classic series consists of the adventures of Saeba Ryo, a sweeper or hired gun and his partner Kaori. Throughout the 140 episodes that make up the 4 seasons there are mainly 1-3 episode stories that intertwine very nicely. Also 3 movies that came out during the series' release and 3 specials that aired later. This anime is considered Action/Comedy but it has a lot of the entertainment value that you get from a Super Power type anime due to Ryo's implausible skill.
City Hunter is one of those anime that has much to teach us, behind the all the humor, there is always a life history lesson, or people overcoming their fears and having their lives changed due to the Ryo, which shows you the right way to act on each situation. In each episode we have a different story, with different people, and different lives. Of people who need not only Ryo help protect them, but also to overcome obstacles and challenges in your life or even see the world differently.
City Hunter makes up for a lack of overall story with incredible characters. This is especially evident in none other than the main character, Ryo Saeba. Ryo Saeba is typically seen as lazy, easy-going, jovial, and perverted man despite his reputation as one of the most skilled sweepers in the world. However, underneath this appearance is an extremely complex character with an intriguing past. Furthermore, he also has a very strong sense of justice and has a strong sense of what is right and wrong. He is pretty much what many of more recent series' main characters are based on (ex - Spike from Cowboy Bebop, Onizuka from GTO, etc).
High quality action, loads of comedy, and engrossing characters pretty much define this series. Although City Hunter might seem like a serious, action oriented series at first, the comedy in this series is plentiful and is amongst the best i have seen in an anime.
A great overall story is usually a big must for me in judging an anime, but City Hunter easily gets away with this with its engrossing episodes and strong character interactions (especially if you consider day-to-day living, slice-of-life, etc) and various developments. Basically , this aint no Death Note in terms of plot, but there is a tale of being to be told.
The story begins in 1983 when the president of the Republic of Korea goes to Burma to visit Aung San Mausoleum. A sudden explosion takes place right before the president arrives, and it turns out that a few North Korean agents caused the explosion and the attack was aimed at the president.

Okay; I became slightly obsessed with City Hunter during a summer abroad trip in Italy. I had only a semester of beginning Italian under my belt, but still found myself flipping through channels and channels of shows I could not comprehend. Then I happened upon City Hunter.
