| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Now this is quite something... The artwork is colorful and while I did expect the series to have a lot of comedy, it does feel like it's well adjusted to this anime in general. The most noticable thing so far I noticed from this anime is the transformation scenes. A lot of suggestive camera shots and fan service in this too lul On the other hand, I'm really interested to know more about the characters themselves. This should be a wild ride~ |

 Kinda disappointed that they didn't choose a remix of the original opening as a theme song,but oh well. Still a nice start. |

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| @FMmatron Just do not say that the top "yuri" shot, and from below her kiss with that guy. |

The theme song is fairly iconic and has had different variations over the years. Still, I hope it gets a cameo at least in the show. Yeah, also hoping for at least an instrumental during some action scenes. |

| I watched the first episode ... Lol, who said that this shoujo? It's extremely funny ecchi shonen with horse doses of yuri-bait. However, if you are a lesbian, then... In any case, I like how this show handles fanservice and the plot. Although it does not even try to sound serious, at least it's fun enough and not annoying like in other recent ecchi anime. And I'm not talking about a lot of nice nostalgic tropes. |

| Heh, it's cute how Yui Horie is voicing Nat-chan after voicing Honey herself in Re. |
 |
| Thought this episode was nothing special but that was more or less what I was expecting. Having seen all the previous Cutey Honey anime I don't see this topping Shin as the best. |
| Alright, verdict for the first episode is... mixed. I'm interested in finding out just what Jill's deal is, since they seem to be taking her in a completely different direction than usual. Other than that, I'm not sold. The action scenes are bad, the animation is bad, there's none of the energy or edginess from previous adaptations, and the biggest crime of all is the loss of the ICONIC Cutie Honey theme song. I'll keep on watching to see where the plot goes, but that wasn't a great first impression. |

I disagree about the animation being bad; I thought it was quite good, though one of the 3D cars and backgrounds really stood out like an eyesore. I think that was my main bone to pick with the first episode, visually speaking. |

| I'm a fan of Nagai so is this legally available yet. I know Nagai's works have a tendency of taking forever to release in AMerica so is this out here yet? |

| Exactly the kind of smut and action I have come to expect from Cutie Honey and Go Nagai. A great first episode. |

Dojyanu said: Wow, what a damn retarded saying CHU action scenes are bad.. Gainax Cutie Crap in general still worse than this or any other old Cutie Honey show.. ? Honey and some Whatever Claws floating in nondescript space stiffly going between key poses and calling out attacks that mostly result in stuff just kinda flying across the screen is better than what they did in New or Re? Awrite... TheKillerAngel said: I disagree about the animation being bad; I thought it was quite good, though one of the 3D cars and backgrounds really stood out like an eyesore. I think that was my main bone to pick with the first episode, visually speaking. I thought it had its moments, like Honey spinning out on the motorcycle. Other than that it was passable at best. |

| This is so confusing. The storytelling is like a kids show but all this ecchi mixed in... Well, I liked the art and animation and even fanservice is fine, but in general it is not very interesting. |
  |
| HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTTTTTT BEST SHOW OF SPRING 2018, AS EXPECTED<3 interesting how it just jumps right in and expects you to already know who everyone is, thats nice |
 |
| it hurts , what did i just watched |
| Signature removed. Please have a positive iq. |

I wanted to post this me too, that's really a shame they change it |
| I love the crazy mix of retro, dementia, and magic girl elements. The art style has a nice 90s vibe with some modern tweaks and polish. Smooth animation backed by good sound design and music. Very fun first episode. 5/5 |

| I love those villain looks. They're so retro in the best way. This feels old school, which I really love, but I am not sure how I feel about comedy and ecchi in this. It's more weird than funny. Also feels like I should've probably watched at least one of the other versions to actually get some character introduction and background. Might pick up one of the earlier versions instead of watching this. |
 |
The original manga was published by "Shounen Champion", that Shoujo tag is just a mistake. |
|
| Lmao, they actually kept everything in it including the ridiculous characters in Cutie Honey. I guess it was an alright start, gonna watch more but it was just ok. Do like Honey's VA though. |

Sorry for the misunderstanding xD No problem: D Anyway, now I'm more concerned about whether they will go along the yuri route or stay loyal to the original romantic line. |
|
| If you haven't read the original manga - this is pretty close to it. Except the manga is even more absurd, perverted and gross xD. I'm surprised to see this kind of a throw-back. Not bad, but it would be cool if they did something more original like Re:Cutie Honey. I really miss the original theme too, hope they add it later. |

| So, i'm not sure how i feel about this shit. Re: Cutey episode 1 is one of my favorite things in the entire world. That's really as far as I got with any of the cutey honey shows, but i know a lot about them from just research. This show just feels cheap? Really gross too. Like, y'know you've fucked up when cutey honey looks "gross". And I don't mean the ecchi and whatnot; this series literally birthed ecchi. It's upsetting to see a Go Nagai property treated like ass again, right after we had such a solid one with the new devilman. Shame. EDIT: I will say though, it looks like it does have a little personality. I'm guessing that's just from the source material, but I digress. I'll probably watch a few more episodes to see where this goes. |

| I liked this, a lot! At this point, I basically like anything that Go Nagai started. This adaptation seems good so far, needless to say. |

| Ok so in the first five minutes alone I saw: a bikini girl harem, two chicks kissing, a girl getting turned into Cheetah by a white rose (a literal one not the RubyxWeiss ship from RWBY), a very tall woman who is basecly the female version of Hawkmoth from Miraculous Ladybug, her sidekick spiderwoman with Aku hair, an all female high school with some weird girls, and then two girls having sex in the bushes. And I repeat, that is just the FIRST 5 MINUTES. |

The animation quality feels weaker than any other cutie honey (even the 70s one), Aki just kinda gets BDSM'd for no reason? That felt kinda gross. I feel like if that was in the manga, it was handled more gracefully. Her classmates in the beginning look like dog shit (animation wise and design wise). I would say watch episode 1 of Re: Cutie Honey if you wanna see what I'd want from a new Cutie Honey. |
| Why didnt they make Nat-chan a cop like in Re: Cutie Honey? She was so badass in that one. |

CrotakuShinobi said: Why didnt they make Nat-chan a cop like in Re: Cutie Honey? She was so badass in that one. That was a design choice made by Anno and Co on the team for Re Cutie honey. In the manga, Nat-chan is just like this (unfortunately) |
| Daaamn I mentalized myself that this version wouldn't have any yuri like RE and the first thing that bumps out is a kiss, there weren't even 5 minutes! |

And I repeat, that is just the FIRST 5 MINUTES. Correction: Two TEACHERS having sex in the bushes. XD I miss the song. :( I miss the charm. This was just missing that something that made the old series' more than just a show about a magical stripper robot girl. Also, no nipples in the transformation sequence w/o bothering w/ clever camera angles to create a blindspot at least felt like lazy animation.. I don't really mind that they didn't show them, but they showed enough to know that they're missing. ._.;; If DxD can get away w/ nipples in broadcast, why can't something with as much connected cultural significance as Cutie Honey be given a pass by the censors too? |
 |
| not as fun as Re: Cutie Honey but the ecchi yuri scenes are still there and lots of sakuga scenes too, i hope they can keep this level of animation consistently P.S. i already miss the original OP song |
| No idea what I just got into but it's good face value entertainment for the moment. |
| Don't believe the hype. |
| what am i getting into.... oh boy |
| Big disappointment and I'm saying that as fan of previous series. Playful animation, intriguing dialogues, clever fanservice - everything that was missing here. The tone was needlessly overserious. I get they have star VA but this was direction and script disaster. Trigger should have made this they would be perfect. |
