First released as a manga in 1981, Cat's Eye (written and illu🎃strated by Tsukasa Hojo) revolves around three sisters who run a cafe by day but moonlight as notorious art thieves. Despite battling shady criminals and even Hitomi being engaged to a police officer, the gang usually get away with the goods – and leave their iconic 'Cat's Eye' calling card as proof of their visit.

Cat's Eye was first adapted as an anime back in 1983, with a second to follow a year later. Since then, the characters and franchise have been rarely seen, save for a few books and a surpris🌞e crossover with anime icon Lupin the Third back in 2022.

All told, the return of Cat's Eye means 2025 is shaping up to be a killer year already for new anime. 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Solo Leveling season 2, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:My Hero Academia season 8, and Lazarus are all set to hit our screens next year.
