        Must See It !!!

        An excellent series with lot of humor, intelligent moves.The three sisters have stolen my heart from the beginning. I love them now even have passed 10 years from my first episode.:)From the start I was cached by the skills of this women, by the beauty that captures you.

        Is a classic serial about interesting people, normal life ,different from the series that are made today: Sci-Fi,Fantastic, with people who has supernatural powers, who lives a beautiful and very easily life.I know that they do something wrong, they are art thieves, but you start to understand the reason for that.

        A TV serial that will never lose his charm. A "must see it"!!!

        A retro classic filled with action, comedy and romance

        Here is a retro classic in anime that I automatically love after sneaking a peek at an episode on YouTube. The series is about three sisters: Rui, Hitomi, and Ai Kisugi, who are coffee shop owners by day. By night, they are slick art thieves known as "Cat's Eye."

        Now I know for a fact that they never wanted a nightlife of crime, but it was the only way to piece together their papa's art collection to find out where he had disappeared all those years ago. But for middle sister Hitomi, it was really hard because her boyfriend, Toshio Utsumi, is a police detective out to catch the infamous "Cat's Eye." Out of the three sisters, I love Hitomi and Ai; Ai's such a darling. Anyway, I really love this anime series with its superb animation and a story filled with action, comedy, and romance; I really ship Hitomi and Toshi. Also, I wish the original manga was translated into English.

        Great way to kill time if your an anime fan

        The animated television show Cat's Eye was based off of a comic created by Tsukasa Hojo of City Hunter fame. It was the story of three girls who ran a cafe during the day and moonlighted as daring art theives at night. It's seems that the girls father, the famous painter Micheal Heinz had vanished and one of his creations held the secret to the mystery. Making the matter even further complicated was the fact that most of the stuff was turning up in the hands of dangerous criminals. Not a great show, but not with out it's charm either. Described as sorta of a Lupin III shoujo (girls manga) style, show Cat's Eye was fun if a bit repetitive. One thing I Could not figure out was how Toshio became a police detective in this show. The Theives are called Cat's Eye which consist of three girls, who might I add don't wear masks. Then there is a cafe called Cat's eye ran by three girls right next to the police station for crying out loud ! Oh well Cat's Eye is still a classic and the theme song is lovely, anime from a bygone era.

        Just didn't like it :/

        Opening song wasn't catchy enough to get me attention

        Characters just weren't interesting

        Even though it's a 1980s show, it looked like more like a cheap kids show than a serious Charlies Angels type of show...

        Disappointing...
