Remake of Classic Anime Series Cat’s Eye Out On September 26

The ‘80s hit Cat’s Eye is making its return next month when it receives a new adaptation from Liden Films on Disney+. We received the reboot’s first trailer last night, which showed the Kisugi sisters, Hitomi, Rui, and Ai, running a Tokyo café called Cat’s Eye during the day and working as art thieves at night.

Additionally, the trailer revealed that the show will release weekly in two six-episode batches, the first running from September 26 to October 31 and the second from December 26, 2025 to January 30, 2026.

As for the crew working on the show at Liden Films, Yoshifumi Sueda (Rail Wars, Z/X Code reunion) is handling direction, Yosuke Yabumoto (The Legendary Hero is Dead!) is the character designer and chief animation director, and Hayashi Mori (Cells at Work! Code Black, Drifting Home, Sand Land) wrote the script. The ascendant J-pop star Ado covered Anri’s “Cat’s Eye” in the trailer and will be performing the ending song “Magic.”

The original Cat’s Eye manga was written by Tsukasa Hojo (City Hunter) and ran from September 14, 1981 to January 22, 1985 for 18 volumes. To this day, it is still one of Weekly Shōnen Jump’s best-selling series, with 20 million copies old. The manga received its first adaptation from 1983 to 1984, running for 36 episodes, before receiving a sequel that ran for another 37 episodes. In the past, it has featured tie-ins to Lupin III (Lupin III vs. Cat’s Eye) as well as City Hunter.
