Both veteran voice actors have shared their enthusiasm for joining this landmark project.

The stellar main cast features Mikako Komatsu, Ami Koshimizu, and Yumiri Hanamori, who portray the enigmatic Kisugi sisters: Hitomi, Rui, and Ai, the central figures of this thrilling narrative.

Under the skilled direction of Yoshifumi Sueda at LIDEN FILMS, with Hayashi Mori crafting the compelling script and Yosuke Yabumoto overseeing character design and serving as chief animation director, this adaptation promises visual excellence. The series' sonic landscape will be masterfully composed by Yuki Hayashi, renowned for his dynamic scores in hit series such as Haikyuu!! and My Hero Academia.

Originating as a groundbreaking manga in the early 1980s and later adapted into a popular TV anime by Tokyo Movie Shinsha from 1983 to 1985, Cat's♥Eye has firmly cemented its legacy within the shounen action-comedy genre. This contemporary rendition seeks to revitalize the beloved story with cutting-edge animation techniques and a refined focus on character interplay, ensuring it appeals to both nostalgic audiences and a fresh wave of anime enthusiasts.
