It has been announced that a completely new anime version of Hojo Tsukasa's popular manga Cat's Eye, which was popular mainly in the 1980s, will be produced and will be exclusively distributed on Disney+ in 2025. The manga was also broadcast as a TV anime from 1983 to 1985, and Hojo, the original author, commented, "Cat's Eye will be remade into an anime series for the first time in 40 years. This work was my debut serialization, so I think there were many parts that were clumsy. However, recently I have received offers from overseas to use my work, and I was reminded that there are people somewhere in the world who still care about this work." Hojo said, "I was surprised when I heard that it would be made into a new anime, but I am very grateful to all the fans who have supported me for so many years. To be honest, I am a little worried about how the younger generation will receive this work, but I hope they will enjoy watching it." In the new anime, Ado will cover the theme song "CAT'S EYE" sung by Anri. A teaser video featuring the song was released on YouTube.
Ado said, "A new series of the legendary anime 'Cat's Eye' is starting on Disney+. I have chosen to cover the original theme song, 'Cat's Eye', with arrangements by Hayashi Yuki. When singing the song, I paid my respects to Anri and mixed my own style with the singing style of the 1980s. What did you all think? I am honored that this beloved and legendary work has returned to the present day with even more brilliance, and that I have been involved in singing it. I hope that the song is new yet nostalgic. Let's enjoy the new series of 'Cat's Eye' together."
The work is a popular manga that was serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump (Shueisha) from 1981 to 1984. The story is about three beautiful sisters, Hitomi, Rui, and Ai, who own the cafe Cat's Eye, running coolly through the night as phantom thieves Cat's Eye, causing a stir in the world. It depicts brilliant action and a thrilling romance with a detective.
