Why is it so complicated to make a sequel to a cult anime from the 90's?
So much so that even its creator, Tsukasa Hojo, has succumbed to the rule of morality and self-righteousness.
What is City Hunter?
A "male" manga, the female counterpart to cat's eye. Sexualized characters, extreme or even vulgar humor, fan service, nudity, violence, suspense, dynamic stories worthy of a soap opera and, above all, charismatic characters.
Like it or not, this was City Hunter's trademark.
Let's be honest, it's outmoded in this day and age, with "fragile" viewers, recycled screenwriters, omnipresent censorship and non-existent artistic skills.
The only valid City Hunter "film" is and will remain : AÎ to shukumei no magnum.
It smells of reheating, with no daring or initiative, rough animation and an unstructured story.
In short, it does its job of entertaining current viewers.
