Anime: Angel Heart (DVD)
Angel Heart is the latest anime from TMS Entertainment. The production company's previous works include the classic mecha drama, Rokushin Gattai God Mars (1981), and more recently, Glass no Kamen (2005).
Angel Heart is based on the original manga works of Hojo Tsukasa, and is a sequel to City Hunter, which ran as a TV series from 1987 to the early 1990s.
Both anime feature the much-loved character Ryo Saeba, a flirtatious, gun-slinging bodyguard with a heart of gold.
Angel Heart is set a number of years after the events in City Hunter take place. Ryo hasn't changed much, but his partner Kaori Makimura is dead, a victim of a traffic accident.
Being a kind person, Kaori had registered herself as an organ donor. But while her heart is being shipped to hospital for an emergency transplant, it is stolen.
