Directed by Kenji Kodama
Twitter Facebook Google+Overview
A beautiful pianist comes to Tokyo for a charity concert - and City Hunter is there. But music isn’t his forte. He wants lessons in the language of love. Desperation is the word as bodies start dropping. A foreign dignitary is assassinated in cold blood. Secret agents scour the streets for a missing microchip. And diplomatic infighting swirls around the upcoming concert until Nina the pianist and her grandfather Klaus are kidnapped. A maelstrom of exploding grenades, the rumble of Falcon’s jeep, and the tinkling of the ivories all set the stage for City Hunter: . 357 Magnum. The show must go on!

Viewing Notes
One of the DVDs I picked up at HPB for $7.99. It’s technically OOP and retails @ Amazon for $49.97. This was a sealed, brand new DVD and hard to pass up so of course I bought it (along w/another OOP sealed City Hunter title). Released on DVD by ADV Films 16 years ago it’s like from another lifetime (a lifetime when I watched a lot more anime).
Anyways, this is a natural extension of the series and original anime feature, which I haven’t seen in probably 20 years or so. Both fun and silly with a decent story I already want to revisit this after I’ve rewatched the first feature film.
I really dig 80s style anime so this is an enjoyable flick.
