City Hunter...
Sometime ago, I picked up the subtitled VHS version of City Hunter...
In City Hunter, there's action, humor, some groping and some blood shed. The material is somewhat dated and showing its age, but, despite its shortcomings, I was hooked from the start. I've only seen a small portion of the City Hunter saga, so, I don't know if the entire series is as good. I gave City Hunter a 4 out of 5. I used to have it on subtitled VHS version. Even with a very good rating, sadly, in the aftermath of the Ultimate Otaku Fall Cleanup, I decided not to keep it in my archive. Sometime after I gave up on the VHS version, I did manage to score the TV series DVDs just before the demise of FYE in Center City Philadelphia.

A beautiful pianist comes to Tokyo for a charity concert, and City Hunter is there. But music isn't his forte. He wants lessons in the language of love.

Bay City Wars
After the US military ousts a sadistic Central-American tyrant, a spirit of merciless vengeance is born. And when the Bay City Hotel unveils its new supercomputer, the deposed ruler and his loyal daughter devise a plan.
With the daughter's hacking skills, the very same computer that can help room service deliver breakfast can now deliver a nuclear payload right to Washington's front door. But their nuclear vengeance has one unforeseen problem-City Hunter.
And now, the only question remaining is who's finger is faster? The girl on the button or the man on the trigger?
Million Dollar Conspiracy
When a mysterious stranger shows up needing protection, City Hunter's partner leaps at the million-dollar offer. The price seems a little high, but a beautiful woman with an equally attractive purse is pretty hard to resist.
And it appears the tall, blonde and beautiful client isn't above throwing in a little something extra to sweeten the deal. But before City Hunter can collect on his bonus of lacey lingerie and nights of passion, he's got to endure some rather dangerous foreplay: like a barrage of bullets and deadly, explosive-rigged toys.
