CH Shinjuku Station
A stage based on City Hunter and the iconic Shinjuku Station, a location featured prominently in the franchise. I designed the stage after the real-life station’s Eastern Exit, but I tried to make it look as close as possible to its appearance in the original ’80s anime series (with a small nod to Angel Heart). I implemented a scrolling collection of three artworks drawn by author and illustrator, Tsukasa Hojo, to showcase some of his iconic artwork for the franchise. The stage itself features a three floating platforms with generous blast zones. I sprited most of the stage on my own over the course of 33 hours, so I think it was well worth the wait. And with that, this is now the seventh stage that I’ve made to be part of the OVA Applia Stage collection. I hope you enjoy it!
