Cat's Eye
Having been generously provided with a great number of fansubs, most of which went by titles which I had never even heard of, I went internet surfing to find some clues about their contents. I was intrigued to find that Cat's Eye was based on a manga created by Tsukasa Hojo, who is also responsible for a long-time favorite of mine, City Hunter. I recognize his drawing style (for a moment I thought one of the sisters, Ai-chan, was actually Kaori!). Whereas most, if not all, of the other fansubs were shows that had only come out in the last couple years, this one is surprisingly old. Cat's Eye seems to be regarded as a classic in Japan; I've seen references to it several times in more modern series (especially good was the one in Lucky Star). How do fansubbers even get their hands on recordings of shows this old?
