Cat's Eye creator Tsukasa Hōjō released a statement on Tuesday prior to the new anime adaptation's release. Hojo stated he was grateful to the fans of his series, and it was thanks to them that Cat's Eye was receiving a new anime series.
Hojo's full statement reads:
"We are once again able to bring you Cat's Eye as an anime thanks to all the fans who have supported us over the years.
I am truly grateful.
Since it was my first serialized work and I was feeling my way through it, it feels a bit embarrassing now (laughs)."
Hojo's Cat's Eye manga centers on three sisters who run a cafe by day, and are notorious art thieves by night. The manga ran from 1981 to 1985, and inspired two television anime seasons by Tokyo Movie Shinsha. The first 36-episode season aired between 1983-1984, and the second 37-episode season aired from 1984-1985. Coamix released the manga in English on it and Imagineer's MangaHotto (MangaHot) app and website in July 2024. The manga is inspiring a new anime on September 26 on Disney+.
