Let's clear up a certain misunderstanding, 'Angel Heart' is NOT a sequel, reboot and it's barely a spin-off of 'City Hunter' (which is a series I absolutely love). This series is a stand alone story, an alternate reality, where in the characters (Ryo, Saeko, Umibozu, Kaori and Hideyuki) are all from the original series but they've been given different, yet still similar, origins. This series introduces new characters to the franchise that just absolutely fit.

This is an excellent series filled with drama, heart, action and fun. I am, without a doubt, biased towards this series.
Admittedly there are some parts of the series that are considered ... lacking or even dull and repetitive but the characters and story telling are solid and enjoyable. I love this series, it's not the greatest ever done but for the 'Hojo Lovers' out there it's one of the best.

You'd think fifty episodes would be a bit much but the series is separated by story arcs making it feel less episodic but rather like having chapters in a novel.

Everybody has their own tastes but I sincerely hope those that get the chance to watch this anime do and enjoy it as much as I have.

Please look into its predecessors too, 'City Hunter' and 'Cat's Eye', and enjoy the music.
