Ryo Saeba’s crime sweeping adventures continue in City Hunter: Angel Dust as the action comedy feature arrives on Blu-ray in select North American e-commerce stores on August 26 from Anime Limited, with distribution by Shout! Studios. Pre-orders are now open through ShoutFactory.com and select participating online stores.
Produced by the Sunrise studio and directed by Kayuyoshi Takeuchi — with general direction by franchise veteran Kenji Kodama, the original director of the City Hunter TV series — Angel Dust reunites voice actors Kamiya Akira (Ryo Saeba) and Ikura Kazue (Kaori Makimura) for the story considered the beginning of the franchise’s epic final chapter.
The film and series are based on the popular manga by Tsukasa Hojo, with the City Hunter franchise spanning 35 manga volumes, anime series, spin-offs and live-action adaptations.
Synopsis: Ryo Saeba is known as City Hunter, the top “sweeper” within the underworld. Based in Shinjuku as a private detective, he and his partner Kaoru Makimura take on a variety of clients. Their latest case is provided by Angie, a filmmaker, with a simple request — to find her missing cat. Ryo is thrilled by Angie’s beautiful looks while Kaori is thrilled by the hefty reward…
Meanwhile, Saeko Nogami of the Metropolitan Police investigates an invention of the biotech company Zoltech – a dark technology that turns soldiers on the battlefield into superhumans. Created at the request of a mysterious underworld organization, this invention is the newest version of Angel Dust, which once almost destroyed Ryo and sent his partner Hideyuki Makimura to his death.
Can these two cases possibly be linked? There’s clearly more to Angie’s request than she’s willing to share, and the truth around Angel Dust is about to launch Ryo into a fateful showdown with links to Ryo’s very origin as a sweeper…
