Premieres sometime in 2025. The new PV is here. Check out the ANN article for additional information. Synopsis for the original 1983 anime from AniList:

The three Kisugi sisters —Rui, Hitomi and Ai— during the day run a small cafe called "Cat's Eye". To discover the whereabouts of their father, the artist Michael Heintz, who has disappeared, Hitomi and her sisters rob art galleries as the smart and mysterious thief "Cat's Eye" in the hope that his works can give them clues about his vanishing. The crucial point is that Hitomi has a relationship with Toshi, a police inspector who has sworn to catch "Cat's Eye" —and of course he has no idea about Hitomi's double life.

Apologies, I didn't mean it as "duh, just download it, stupid, hur hur" to you personally. It was more an opportunity to raise awareness of those tools. (Pretty sure they are well known but it never hurts)

Shiver me timbers!

More crewmates!

Every time anime studios do this the new one just feels completely sterilized. The art style did a lot of heavy lifting of old anime. While a good story is always good, the new art style can really make an okay story seem worse.

Trigun, IMO, is a good example that suffered greatly from this. Even though the writing on a technical level was better in the new one, I still found the art style of the original made the original vastly superior overall.

While I am interested to see more, I am concerned this will follow the rest of modern "sterilized" anime. It feels like the difference between being in an Adventurer's Guild vs being in a Hospital.

I really hope anime doesn't fall into the same trap that Hollywood has in cranking out remakes of old IPs every couple of decades just to renew the copyrights.

It wastes scarce production resources i.e. animators, crowds out the market for new ideas, and even the geezers (like me) who watched this stuff in its time want to see something more relevant to the current times.

I immediately went here to comment, as I loved Cats Eye. But I am shocked by the Disney+ Logo and all the negative comments here.

Now I fear that the remake will ruin an old favorite.

I haven't seen the original, but remakes are a bit of a touchy subject for people I think. Some work out great. For example, I have seen lots of positive comments about the currently airing Ranma 1/2 remake. Other times, you get a horror story like Berserk 2016. As always, I am hopeful that fans of the original (like you) find something to like in the remake and that it serves as a way to create new fans. Time will tell!

It’s a product of its time (late 70s, early 80s). I hope that it will remain so, and will not be “reimagined” to 90s, etc.

[–] Im_old 2 points 3 weeks ago

I'm with you. It was amazing at the time, but as you said it was a product of the time. Some things I watched when I was a kid now I'm a bit wary of letting my kids watch now!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 weeks ago

Having watched the original in the 80s, it's a big no for me.

[–] Plastic_Ramses 2 points 3 weeks ago

Wow, they really want to highlight the tits on this poster.

We're running out of ideas.
