Featured review
Two Mary Thievesue and their rascal little sister
An iconic series from the 80s, but which didn't particularly appeal to me in childhood. Certainly the protagonists are fascinating, and the scenes in which they demonstrated a certain agility were sufficiently well done for the time, but the ease with which they cleared away from the places of the theft or often knocked down anyone who obstructed them was not credible. Even with the poor and masochistically devoted Toshio, perpetually deceived and unable to see beyond his nose.
I have always found the use and exploitation of this naive and in love character depressing, practically he served as: involuntary informant, punching bag, vocal defender of the trio that humiliated him, mocked boyfriend and ... totally useless on a professional level. If the three thieving sisters are over-trained, Toshio as a cop is a complete failure, only capable of getting scolded by his boss. A difference in skill level that, in its own way, will also be seen in "Saint Tail", which clearly took inspiration from this work.
The relationship between Toshio and Hitomi is the saddest thing there can be, although she felt some affection for him, she did not hesitate to use it without remorse, and the reason that pushed her together with her sisters to gather the works of art of her father did not it was very exploited at the level of the plot, so it did not sweeten the sorrow for this poor naive.
Another annoying factor was the the place run by the tre girls, which despite having the same stage name and the same human composition of the band of thieves, never gave rise to a decently strong doubt,except briefly in a colleague of Toshio, obviously not supported by anyone else. In addition to this, the excessive number of episodes, the repetitiveness, combined with the daily happy ending for the "kittens", without real variations, also became tiring. To be clear and fair, I also complain about the total invincibility of Ryo Saeba, another creature of Tsukasa Hojo, absolutely fun and cool, but too predictable (and more ruthless in the comic) .
Some time ago I also took a look at the ending of the manga version of Cat's Eye, and although I am a person who appreciates happy endings, even partial, I could only consider it as really forced.
