Hunter × Hunter
Before the first anime television series was created, a short film adaptation of "Hunter × Hunter" was shown as part of the 1998 "Jump Super Anime Tour" alongside similar adaptations of "Seikimatsu Leader den Takeshi!" and "One Piece". Produced by Studio Pierrot and directed by Noriyuki Abe, it depicts the early events of the manga up to Gon's ocean voyage from Whale Island.
City Hunter
"City Hunter" spawned a media franchise consisting of numerous adaptations and spin-offs. The franchise includes four anime television series, three anime television specials, two original video animations, several animated feature films (including an upcoming film scheduled to premiere in February 2019), video games, several live-action films (including a Hong Kong film starring Jackie Chan, an upcoming , and an upcoming Chinese film), and a live-action Korean TV drama. It also had a spin-off manga, "Angel Heart", which in turn spawned its own anime television series and live-action Japanese TV drama.
