About City Hunter: .357 Magnum

City Hunter:.357 Magnum (City Hunter: Ai to Shukumei no Magnum) arrives as an action anime by Sunrise, Production Reed (1989), and the premise is easy to summarize. The premise: 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.

Another thread: Desperation turns into the word of the day as the bodies start dropping. A foreign dignitary is assassinated in cold blood. Hidden agents scour the streets for a missing microchip.

In an action series like this, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. It will appeal most to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights.
