City Hunter
City Hunter begins with the 1987 TV series, a finished run of 51 episodes for viewers who like action mixed freely with broad comedy. Crunchyroll carries this original series. Each 25-minute episode makes it easy to watch a case at a time, while the recurring partnership rewards starting at the beginning. Much of the humor comes from Ryo Saeba's terrible behavior, so enjoyment depends on your tolerance for an older style of skirt-chasing comedy. When a case turns serious, the contrast between his foolish public face and his ability as a troubleshooter supplies much of the appeal. This is a good choice if you want mystery cases and comedy rather than a tightly serialized plot.
About
In Tokyo, clients with problems outside ordinary channels can call on City Hunter, a professional troubleshooter who accepts dangerous assignments. Ryo Saeba behaves like an incorrigible flirt until a job demands his full attention. His partner Kaori tries to keep both the work and Ryo under control, turning their friction into the show's main comic rhythm. New clients bring fresh mysteries, while the cases gradually establish the pair's unusual working bond. The premise lets an episode move from ridiculous behavior to tense action without requiring a dense ongoing plot.
