City Hunter - Recommendations

baley7 says...

In both anime the protagonists appear to be perverted and silly most of the time, but in reality they have a serious and soft side when necessary. In GTO, when it's time for action Onizuka will do anything to protect his students, just like Ryo when it comes to his clients in City Hunter. If you loved one series the you will certainly love the other.

Nevo says...

If you watched City Hunter, you'd know how much Ryo would do anything for some Panties. Onizuka, a man who becomes a Teacher for the sake of looking at High School girls isn't so different. Both main characters are very perverted and silly however when it comes down to getting the job done, neither give up!

Minai99 says...

Not only are the characters similar, but both shows are episodic in nature, and have  a very positive outlook on things. When the going gets tough, both protagonists manage to save the day with style, despite their ecchi inclinations.

Just watch 1st episode of gto.

You will get it...

Both are awesome strong man 

Love to flirt with young girls and woman and at the same time respect them 

People hate them (all are side character or villian)

Makosaphoto says...

They both share the same art styles and the humor in each is similar and the MC has a strong yet unusual personality...

The closest match for City Hunter that I can think of would be Lupin III. Both involve a colorful male main character who is often unable to control his lechery when it comes to women. Both characters are held in check by a particular woman--Kaori and Fujiko (actually, considering the way she manipulates Ryo, police detective Saeko Nogami is a lot like Fujiko!). Both shows are set in the present-day timeframe. Lupin is an out-and-out thief, but tends to rob people who deserve to be robbed. Ryo Saeba is a "sweeper", a sort of private detective/bodyguard/vigilante who, it might be said, enforces the law in an illegal manner. Both characters are reluctant to kill or seriously injure anyone. So the two have a lot in common. If you can't get enough City Hunter, try Lupin III!

Even though in 'Lupin the 3rd" the main protagonist is on the other side of the law as the hero in "City Hunter" there are many parallels between the series.In both series the heroes always try and help a person who has an immediate problem and in most cases it means killing them. Both heroes are cunning detectives and skillful sharp shooters. An obvious correlation is that both main protagonists are womanizers and get into trouble for being so. In both series the hero's main side kick is adept with firearms.The last obvious similarity is that even though the missions are usually of a serious nature, there is a fair bit of slapstick comedy in between the action.

City Hunter and Lupin III have very similar main characters. Ryo and Lupin are both happy go lucky individuals that are continuously chasing after women. However, when it comes to business, they are at the top of their game, always seeing their mission through despite the odds.

If you enjoyed the madcap adventures of one of our heroes, you are likely to enjoy the antics of the other.

The similarities between the two main protagonists are quite striking: They are both very good at what they do and they are the biggest perverts ever to grace our screens! Their lechery makes for some very comedic moments and their love of women is matched by how competent they are and how they can eventually win the woman over without ever getting any 'mokkori'. If you like one you have to check out the other.

Nevo says...

The trail for 'Mokkori' never stops for Ryo and Kintaro. If you like all the pervert silliness that Ryo gets himself into, you will be very interested to watch Golden Boy, an anime based on one man, his bike, and his amazing skills as a womanizer.

Sasuke123456 says...

Ok , if you are looking anime like City Hunter 

Golden boy can be your second  priority after gto 

Both love to flirt with women 😉❤️

Both are awesome character

cerberus38 says...

Both City Hunter and Golgo 13 feature protagonists who are the best at what they do, expert marksmen and tacticians, who take on a job and always see it through to the end. Both protagonists also share a love of women though City Hunter is unable to control his lusts. Both series are episodic in nature though Golgo 13 is much more serious, but if you liked one try out the other.

foxhead556 says...

Both of the stories aren't that same and the characters dont share much similarities. But Duke and Ryo do share the same skill in being a great marksmen. If you are looking for another anime with epic shoot skills Golgo 13 or City hunter are just right. If i was to compare Ryo to Duke in terms of skill i would say they are pretty much on the same level.

Grizz says...

If you liked this, you'd definitely like this! Both feature main characters with sharp shooting skills beyond your imagination.

Ran says...

City Hunter and Cat's Eye have very similar ambiances and graphical styles. Both feature a good dose of humor and cool action situations, are based on similar ways of building up the tension, and make you wonder each time how the characters are going to set themselves free of the booby traps they step into.

ohtoriakio says...

Both have similar styles, are from the same manga artist ad even feature a cross over episode. They are also both reliant on comedic situations and are episodic so you can view them both out of sequence and still enjoy the show.

MalteseFalcon says...

Both City Hunter and Trigun have a number of similarities. The most obvious and most important similarity occurs between Ryo and Vash. Ryo and Vash seem to be women chasers and somewhat childlike, but when the going gets tough, our heroes get going. The early portions of City Hunter definately remind me of the earlier episodes of Trigun before it became slightly more serious.

If you enjoyed the crazy situations Vash got himself in, give City Hunter a go. Likewise, if you like Ryo Saeba's style, try Trigun on for size.

foxhead556 says...

Both Ryo and Vash share similarities. 1 being that they like to chase women around,2nd expert marksmen and lastly their personality. Ryo and Vash both act like child but when something serious is going on that is when both of them get serious. So if u seen 1 of these 2 im sure u would enjoy the other.

Julibe says...

If you want to unduerstand more of Saeba Ryo and his adventures then you must not lose this hillaryous yet amazing series, also look foward for the complete City Hunter Saga....

ohtoriakio says...

Both Spike and Ryo Saeba share similar charactereristics. Both are detectives/assassins for hire, and both have a soft spot for humans in short skirts. The settings differ in the shows but the atmosphere, humour, side characters and the serious moments are very much in line with each other.

ohtoriakio says...

City Hunter and Cinderella Boy are both comedy/action title that deal with a titular character struggling to make ends meet with their detective/bodyguard agencies. Ryo Saeba of City Hunter because of his perverted ways with many of the female cast members, and Ranma of Cinderella Boy because he takes cases that do not pay too well. They are both solid and satisfying comedies.

ohtoriakio says...

Fans of one will like the other as the feel of investigating cases on a deadline in funny ways is present in both. Massive shootouts will minimal damage to protagonists is also present in both, and the storyline of Coyote Ragtime Show has similarities to mini story arcs found in City Hunter.
