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.
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.
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!
