Tsukasa Hojo's iconic crime-romance manga Cat's Eye has arrived on Crunchyroll, complete with its 73-episode anime adaptation from 1983. The series follows the Kisugi sisters, who run a charming cafe by day and moonlight as the elusive art thief "Cat's Eye" by night, seeking clues to their father's disappearance. The central conflict ignites as the lead thief, Hitomi, finds herself entangled with Toshi, the police inspector tasked with catching her.
Produced by Tokyo Movie Shinsha (now TMS Entertainment), known for classics like Lupin the 3rd and Detective Conan, Cat's Eye blends thrilling heists with romantic tension and comedic mishaps. While its MAL score sits at a respectable 7.26, the series' enduring appeal lies in its stylish premise and the cat-and-mouse dynamic between the sisters and the police.
With the entire series now available to stream, viewers can binge the episodic adventures of the Kisugi sisters and Inspector Toshi. A crossover film, Lupin the 3rd vs Cat's Eye, also exists, offering a glimpse into the franchise's wider connections.
