Cat's Eye on Hulu Teases A Stylish Reintroduction to the Kisugi Trio

Sep 10

Hulu has dropped the official trailer for its new anime take on Cat’s Eye, confirming a September 26, 2025 U.S. premiere on Hulu (and on Hulu on Disney+, with Disney+ handling international). The spot reintroduces the Kisugi sisters—Hitomi, Rui, and Ai—whose double lives split between running a café by day and pulling precision art heists by night. It’s pitched as a faithful, ’80s-inflected reimagining of Tsukasa Hojo’s best-selling manga, with the series set at 12 episodes.

The trailer leans into classic heist texture—nighttime skylines, rooftop escapes, and meticulously timed break-ins—while teasing the cat-and-mouse dynamic with Detective Toshio, who remains oblivious to his girlfriend’s secret identity. The cut underscores the show’s “street-smart elegance” tone: slick choreography, neon-washed palette, and a brisk rhythm that mirrors the trio’s calling-card thefts. Hulu’s materials frame it as a “new original” in conversation with the 1983 TMS series, which tracks with what’s on display here: a modern production that consciously keeps the silhouette of the original.

Key creatives are confirmed: director Yoshifumi Sueda (High School DxD Hero), series composition by Hayashi Mori (Cells at Work! Code Black), character designs by Yosuke Yabumoto, and music from Yuki Hayashi (My Hero Academia). Animation is by LIDEN FILMS, whose recent output has balanced glossy action with character-driven pacing—an apt fit for a show that needs both theft-scene snap and romantic tension.

Music heads will clock another headline: superstar Ado contributes the theme songs featured across recent promo—one of them a new take on the iconic “Cat’s Eye,” originally popularized in the ’80s. That choice threads the needle between nostalgia and a fresh pulse, and the trailer’s edits time reveals and title cards to those hooks.

For newcomers, Cat’s Eye is a self-contained hook: three sisters reclaiming their missing father’s art collection while eluding a detective who keeps getting close for all the wrong reasons. For longtime fans, the reel signals respectful updates rather than wholesale reinvention—sharper staging, a higher-contrast look, and tighter action geography, but the same flirty, high-stakes tug-of-war at its center.

With the trailer now live and a firm date on the calendar, Hulu’s Cat’s Eye positions itself as fall’s sleekest caper binge—quick hands, quicker banter, and a signature flourish on the getaway.
