Synopsis

One day, Honey Kisaragi's a trendy, class-cutting Catholic schoolgirl. The next, her father's been murdered by demonic divas from a dastardly organization called Panther Claw. When his dying message reveals that she's an android, Honey uses the transformative power of the Atmospheric Element Solidifier - the very thing Panther Claw wanted to steal - to seek revenge against the shadowy clan. Can Honey fight her way up Panther Claw's ranks to defeat its leader, the sinister Sister Jill while managing to escape the watchful eyes of Miss Histler, her school's headmistress?

Aided by journalist Hayami Seiji, his ninja father, and his lady-loving grade school brother, Honey sometimes appears as a racecar driver, sometimes as a glamorous model, and sometimes as a beggar, but her true identity is none other than the warrior of love, Cutie Honey!

Funny

It was truly an honor to be able to view this anime! It's way sexier, feminist, and socially aware than most of the stuff on the market today. I've always get the hots for sexy characters that know they're sexy and want to be sexy! And, there's still so few anime with a shonen theme and a respectable female lead.

I find the character's places to be balanced to where they need to be. The others help Honey, but they don't steal the spot light with how helpful they are. Honey takes down the enemies alone, without anyone jumping in to rescue her. Something way too ...

Mixed Feelings

In the time before time, there was an anime called cutie honey... I'm kidding.

This is probably the oldest anime I ever saw. It aired in 1973 (nineteen seventy three). As a result it is pretty much unlike anything I've ever seen, and the closest thing to it, at least visually, is the first season of Sailor Moon. The anime is also based on works on Go Nagai, who is responsible for Devilman, Devilman Lady, Getter Robo, Mazinger, and many other things.

The age of the anime is noticeable in every its aspect - story, characters, visuals, art style and music. It aired before anime became ...

Remember back in the day, when people still used to fap to magazines? Lucky you.

Story:
There is not much of a story, more like an excuse for the show to exist. Panzer Claw want that device (whatever it does) from Honey, she wants revenge for her killed father. Later on we get a second motivation for the heroine, though it neither changes her goals nor her attitude, so I don’t really know what the purpose of that scene was. Besides the first and the last, Cutey Honey is a monster of the week anime, with pretty much nothing important happening in the other 24 episodes. Not ... only that, all these episodes are also basically the same. You can do this formula and still be interesting (see Sailor Moon), but boy was this show boring. You can easily skip 16 to 18 episodes and you will not miss anything. This is basically Filler - The Animation. The fights are not even entertaining or anything, it’s just a huge waste of time.
2/10

Art:
I don’t hate old anime. I can look at something in relation to the time it was released and realize that it may have been good-looking back then or the top possible quality. I never understood people who said everything old is shit. Everybody who refuses to watch pre-2010 anime with that justification should be put on death row. With that off of my chest, Cutie Honey looks like shit. It ran about the same time as (still) pretty shows like Alps no Shoujo Heidi and even later than Attack No. 1, so I can compare it to its contemporaries and say this with certainty. The animation is awfully lazy and it just looks bad more often than not. The character designs of the villains are ugly as hell and even the normal humans are off-model way too often. This show also features next to no backgrounds, though this is more due to its age, so I’ll give it a free pass for that. If you don’t believe me, look at Honey’s pantyshots. Half the time they look like fucking diapers!
2/10

Sound:
The only highlight of this show is the pretty cool psychedelic soundtrack. Only Honey’s character theme gets a little annoying after 20 episodes, but it’s not bad or anything. The voice acting is not bad either, though obviously the sound quality is far from what you may be used to from modern anime. The opening song is catchy and stylistically very different from the J-Pop of today. The ending was very cool, being a full blown ballad that reminded me of the chansons of the 60s and 70s. I also liked the fact that these songs were actually about the show instead of basically nothing like so many others.
8/10

Characters:
I thought Honey was a stereotypical fanservice babe like so many others, but it turns out she is a very cynical and violent girl, mocking and occasionally mutilating her enemies. That’s kinda cool, but it doesn’t really fit her father-avenging motive she keeps bringing up. Maybe that’s just an excuse so she can do all these mean things? Would put a whole new twist on the plot. Her companions are really lame “perverts”, though they’re somewhat likeable. Many of the side characters were either totally useless (the little girl with the crush on Junpei) or extremely annoying (Alphonne), so there was not much entertainment gained there. The villains were, as mentioned, hideous, which is weird seeing how big their titties are. Am I supposed to fap to them or not? Whatever the case, they sure as hell weren’t very developed, not even Sister Jill. I got the impression that they were merely evil for the sake of being evil. And what exactly do demons need to steal art for?
3/10

Enjoyment:
If Cutey Honey was shorter, it would have been much more bearable. Sadly it drags on and on and on with nothing coming of it. Watching the same badly animated, meh written episode over and over again was very tedious, something an anime should never ever be. I don’t know how the remakes turned out, but I am pretty sure that they would be worth watching a lot more, even if it’s just for sake of looking a whole lot better than this. I know, I can’t expect a show from the early 70s to be a masterpiece, but come on.
3/10

Overall:
3.6/10
