This looks pretty good! I hope it will be dubbed in the future! If not, I will have to give my pause button finger a workout, I guess.

There's just too many politically correct nonsense out there that killed 99% of all live-adaptations (aka Cowboy Bebop).

Without those jokes and sexual jokes, City Hunter doesn't work.

My only complaint is Saeko is not busty or sexy enough.

Looks like they have the tone down better than pretty much every adaptation save Nicky Larson, and even that was more about the gag material and comedic side, hence the infamous hammer being absent here but present in the poster for Larson.

Definitely looks and feels like a live-action City Hunter.

You really can't handle subtitles?

Once you pass this barrier...the amount of amazing content that you can entertain yourself with.

@HueyLion

I get what you're trying to tell me, but I just can't process sentences fast enough. When I was a small child, I got sick with a very high temperature. Well, I ended up in the hospital, and with such a high temperature, my brain swelled, and they had to do a spinal tap(I think that what they call it. Sticking a long needle into my brain.)

So, anyway, what might take you an hour to learn a chapter in, let say, a history book would usually take me two hours or more to learn.

It's not like I don't watch shows that are only subtitles.

I've watch the following recently:

Villainess Level 99
Blade runner: black Lotus

I hope this means that the original City Hunter anime series will be added to Netflix in the near future, Netflix added series like Cowboy Bebop and One Piece to their service before the premiere of their live-action adaptations. Other shows that had live-action adaptations or that Netflix acquired their new seasons or reboots also were added, like Fullmetal Alchemist, Saint Seiya, Yu Yu Hakusho, Tiger & Bunny, Kimi ni Todoke, among others.

City Hunter's live-action adaptation trailer has already been dubbed into some langauges, like the grand majority of Netflix's Original Series. Don't know if in some countries where the series is popular, like France and Italy, the characters are dubbed by the same VA who play their anime counterparts, for example, in the Brazilian Portuguese dub of the recent Yu Yu Hakusho live-action adaptation the characters were dubbed by the same VAs who dubbed their anime counterparts
