"man, if only I hadn't been born without the ability for my eyes to adjust in the dark!"

I believe this was the final episode. it was OK.

[Oh come the fuck on!](https://i.imgur.com/O5WIxAV.png) At least give us a kiss for the ending! Welp, I suppose that's it for Cat's Eye for now. I do hope this isn't the end and we'll get more in the future. I really enjoyed this remake from start to finish, with my only gripe being that this should've kept the series set in the 80s like the Urusei Yatsura and Ranma remakes.

What a terrible ending. Not even a kiss was allowed for the two of them in the end. As a huge fan of the manga and the 80s anime, I have no idea what the point of this remake was. The ending is unsatisfying, the individual episodes left no room for character development, and the animation style was inconsistent.

Really a shame, I was so looking forward to it. They also missed the chance to make adjustments to reasonably bring the story into modern times. The police are so stupid that it's no longer funny.

I wonder if there will be a second season? I can hardly imagine it.

The cat is finally out of the bag for Cat's Eye! Or at least it would be if Kaibara didn't have Toshio being a one-way mirror and want to drag this out and watch the sisters' squirm. But ultimately this isn't about exposing them, this is about getting the Cranaff Paintings back. And threatening Toshio is actually enough to make Hitomi be willing to give up her fathers' paintings. She would put Toshio's life over her and her sisters' life mission. Because, despite what Toshio thinks, he is more precious to Cat's Eye than he could ever know.

I do love how Rui and Hitomi dropped their voice an octave so Toshio didn't recognize them...and made them sound sexier. I mean, Hitomi is using her Maki voice!

Kaibara really had played this 99% perfectly up until the point where he shook Rui's hands and got knocked out. Never underestimate a beautiful woman. Though Kaibara paid her back by unleashing Toshio's gaze on them.

Sorry ladies, I don't think covering your faces with your arms is going to do much...but luckily for them Toshio has enough honor to respect their attempt to save him by closing his eyes lest he see them. Toshio really is a good guy!

It's nice of the sisters to also be willing to save Hirano and Hirano and Toshio get to enjoy handholding with Ai and Hitomi.

The gang manage to reconvene and escape through the sunken ship...but Kaibara isn't about to let them get away with screwing him over, even if it means blowing them, and his own mansion, up. And Toshio and Hitomi, fittingly, get washed away together.

Of COURSE they end up in a storeroom with dwindling air and lighting so bad Toshio can't see anything...too bad he can't see Hitomi rip her dress and expose her luscious legs to treat his wounds.

Toshio can at least feel SOME resemblance between Hitomi and Cat's Eye, be it her voice or how comfortable she feels when she leans into him, and he may just have kissed her if not for falling unconscious...and Hitomi finally drops the act and calls out his name.

Pray that Hitomi never finds out that the first thing he did after waking up was hug Asatani, though blushing Asatani is cute, but at least he was calling out her name! And it's nice to see how much Toshio's team was worried about him.

With the Cranaff Syndicate all arrested (though Kaibara is obviously not dead) and all the stolen paintings recovered, all's well that ends well, right? Well, other than Toshio starting to seriously suspect the Kisugi Sisters' is Cat's Eye...but when has that stopped the sisters!

As if the sisters haven't lied and gaslighted Toshio enough, they manage to spin that they went on vacation in Izu, complete with photoshopped images of them on vacation (complete with showing Toshio all of them in the bath, with Hitomi's Hitomi's exposed...) and Hitomi waiting to finish their date in Kamakura with the Rat playing a part to make it sound like Hitomi has been just a longing girlfriend waiting for Toshio this whole time. Is it wrong that I feel kind of bad for Toshio here? Even as someone rooting for him and Hitomi?

But at the end of the day, Hitomi truly loves Toshio, even if he is the detective trying to arrest her, and she wouldn't change a thing about him or let that get in the way of how she wants to be with him forever. Just like Toshio truly loves Hitomi and feels the same. If only they were able to finally kiss if not for Nagaishi's fireworks show. The intent was appreciated, if unnecessary, but I guess we can say this season closed out with Hitomi, Toshio, and some literal fireworks.

The show ends with Rui awaiting a private dinner date...only to know the reservation has been extended for five more years, clearly indicating that, yes, the sisters' father IS alive!

I enjoyed this remake. The cops and robber antics were quite refreshing, and I think they did an excellent job modernizing things in the episodes.

That was an interesting cliffhanger with Rui getting confirmation on her dad being alive. I for one do hope this show gets a season two!

Figures there would be some contrived reasons that would prevent Toshio from learning the truth. I choose to believe they kissed after watching the fireworks for a moment, anything else is kind of dumb.

There's no way the idiot in his idiotic chair died in that fire.

Pretty big haul for the final episode since they got everything that was in the safe.

What a cop out...first the one way mirror, and then Toshio deciding to keep his eyes shut.
