Audience

A charismatic master thief and his colorful crew pursue daring heists involving valuable targets, rival criminals, and elaborate escapes. Along the way, they must outwit a relentless inspector who is determined to bring them to justice, while shifting between darker capers, playful comedy, suspense, and action.

My take

You’ll like this if you enjoy stylish, episodic crime capers with comedy, action, and memorable rivalries, especially City Hunter; Not for you if you prefer continuous plots, consistent tone, or modern animation.
