Review: Cat’s Eye – A Classic Blend of Mystery, Action, and Sisterly Bonds

If you’re a fan of retro anime with a mix of heists, sibling dynamics, and a touch of romance, Cat’s Eye is a must-watch. Produced by Tokyo Movie Shinsha and airing from 1983 to 1985, this series follows the Kisugi sisters—Rui, Hitomi, and Ai—who lead double lives as café owners by day and art thieves by night. Their mission? To uncover the truth behind their missing father, the artist Michael Heintz.

The Premise and Appeal

The first episode of Cat’s Eye sets the tone perfectly. The sisters’ café, aptly named “Cat’s Eye,” is a cozy front for their nighttime escapades. Their heists are meticulously planned, often targeting artworks connected to their father’s mysterious past. The blend of action, comedy, and drama keeps the show engaging, while the jazzy opening theme, “Cat’s Eye” by Anri, adds a nostalgic charm that’s hard to resist.

Fans of the series often praise its unique premise. Unlike modern heist anime, Cat’s Eye focuses on the sisters’ teamwork and their personal stakes in each mission. The dynamic between the sisters is a highlight—Rui is the cool-headed leader, Hitomi the flirtatious middle sister, and Ai the playful youngest. Their chemistry feels genuine, making their adventures all the more compelling.

Fan Reactions and Discussions

Digging into fan discussions, it’s clear that Cat’s Eye has a dedicated following, even decades after its release. On platforms like MyAnimeList, viewers debate the filler episodes—some love the lighter, comedic moments, while others prefer the plot-driven heists. One fan pointed out that Episode 21 feels like a detour, focusing more on Hitomi teasing Toshi (their cop love interest) than advancing the main story. Another criticized Episode 43 for its lack of substance, though the accidental “ecchi” moments drew some laughs.

Despite these critiques, the consensus is that the series shines when it sticks to its core themes. The heists are clever, the stakes feel personal, and the sisters’ bond is the heart of the show. Fans also appreciate the vintage animation style, which adds to the retro appeal.

Season 2’s Shift

The transition to Season 2 (starting with Episode 37, “The She-Cat From France”) introduces a new challenge: an impostor using the Cat’s Eye name to commit violent heists. This twist forces the sisters to return to Japan, adding a fresh layer of intrigue. Fans note that the second season ramps up the tension, with more complex missions and deeper dives into their father’s past.

Final Thoughts

Cat’s Eye is a gem from the ’80s that still holds up today. Its mix of action, humor, and heartfelt moments makes it a standout in the heist genre. While some filler episodes might test your patience, the core storyline and the sisters’ adventures are well worth the watch.

If you’re new to retro anime or just looking for something with a unique blend of mystery and charm, give Cat’s Eye a shot. It’s a nostalgic ride with enough twists to keep you hooked.

Rating: 8/10 – A classic that balances heists, humor, and heart.
