Ideas/Overview:
Properly, Cat’s Eye 06 is one other “banger” from the bozos adopting the manga. Subtitle rewrites apart, with out figuring out the supply manga, I’d say that is most likely the perfect story of the anime variations thus far. That’s not saying a lot. The preliminary scene is taken from chapter 38 of the supply manga. The remainder of the episode got here from a closely stretched and considerably redone chapter 19.
The primary drawback I had with the episode was that thus far, Hitomi hasn’t proven any actual affection for Toshio. He’s only a simp she’s identified since highschool who’s a handy instrument within the Cat’s Eye thefts. Then out of the blue, she’s jealous of Mitsuko? From an anime-only perspective, this makes ZERO sense. Nonetheless, if the anime had PROPERLY tailored the manga, we’d have already seen Hitomi’s battle over her relationship with Toshio and her actual job as a infamous thief.
The heist parts of the anime story are invented. Chapter 19 exhibits Hitomi in an obvious FAILED heist with Toshio in scorching pursuit. The rationale they fall into an outdated properly (not a pit) is as a result of Toshio does a Hollywood leap from his bike to hers, knocking her off it. Within the ensuing tumble, they fall into the properly. It made no sense that the properly turns into a pit with a mine shaft to a different pit that they crawl out of. Sure, the anime writers wanted to fill time and get the dialog (after which some) so Hitomi might understand how a lot Toshio beloved her.
Whereas Hitomi’s harm is manga correct, it did make me giggle, particularly because it was ignored at first. In spite of everything, within the first episode, they leapt off a 4 story balcony onto their heeled toes with out concern. Certainly, Hitomi made a reasonably large leap on this episode with out concern. As such, her harm comes off as a plot requirement moderately than one thing pure, extra so as a result of the writers overlook about it more often than not. However that is what you get when you’ve writers who suppose they’re higher than the unique creator.
Remaining Ideas and Conclusion
Let me wrap up my evaluation of Cat’s Eye 06 with some ultimate ideas.
- It makes my head damage when the one feminine cop is the one one who has a mind. Whereas each male cop simply permits the poorly disguised Hitomi to wander at will, solely Mitsuko was sensible sufficient to observe police process and problem Hitomi. 🤦♂️
- When solely particular person’s born with a vagina are allowed to be competent, it will need to have sucked for the writers to quickly make Mitsuko an incompetent fool in order that Hitomi might escape.
- For the reason that solely elements of the manga I’ve learn correspond with no matter’s been tailored (so I can watch the anime episode with out manga bias), I didn’t know that LA Dullard and Lengthy Hair Nincompoop had been really manga characters. I suppose this episode marks their official introduction, although they’ve been round since episode 1. Within the manga, each have correct (and separate) introduction tales from what I might inform.
- Simply whenever you suppose the subtitles couldn’t worsen, they do. Wild. The Japanese writers (underneath Disney’s affect) suppose they’re higher writers than Houjou-sensei. The Disney “localizer” thinks they’re a greater author than the Japanese writers. Go determine.
Ultimately, Cat’s Eye 06 goes to indicate why people who suppose they’ll write a superior model of an authentic story fail. Whereas I might respect the romance story between Hitomi and Toshio, had the anime correctly tailored the manga, the story on this episode would have had extra impression.
