Description:
Cat's Eye (Subtitles) is a Japanese anime television series that follows the adventures of three sisters, Hitomi, Rui, and Ai, who own a cafe by day and work as skilled cat burglars by night. The series is based on a manga series by Tsukasa Hojo and aired from 1983 to 1985.
In season 1 episode 1, titled "You're a Sexy Thief," the audience is introduced to the Cat's Eye trio as they embark on their first heist. The sisters steal an expensive painting from a high-security art museum, leaving behind a calling card bearing their trademark logo: a cat's eye. The painting belongs to a private collector, but the girls are unaware that the collector is no other than their estranged father, Michael Heinz.
As the girls plan their next heist, they receive a call from the collector, who invites them to steal a piece of art that he has recently acquired. They accept the offer, unaware of who they are stealing from. However, the art piece in question soon becomes the talk of the town, and the girls discover that the piece actually belongs to the renowned art dealer, Mr. Sanzo.
Meanwhile, the detective in charge of the case, Toshio Utsumi, vows to catch these notorious burglars and bring them to justice. He is initially unsuccessful, but he eventually learns of a clue that points towards the girls' cafe, the Coffee Mansion.
As the girls plan their heist, Toshio becomes a regular at their cafe and starts to suspect that they may be the ones behind the thefts. However, he is unable to prove his theory, and his superior orders him to back off from the case.
The girls successfully steal the art piece from Mr. Sanzo, but they soon discover that they have been double-crossed by the collector and that the piece belongs to him after all. The collector demands that the girls steal a rare diamond for him as compensation for the lost painting.
In the end, after a series of thrilling events, the girls successfully steal the diamond, all while being pursued by Toshio. However, the girls learn that the diamond is actually a fake and that the collector was using them to acquire a fake in place of the real diamond.
Ultimately, the girls' first heist sets the stage for the rest of the series, as Hitomi, Rui, and Ai continue to pull off daring heists while evading Toshio's attempts to catch them. Meanwhile, their quest to uncover the truth about their father's disappearance drives the overarching plot of the show forward.
