Also there's something that seems really really off about the animation that I can't pinpoint at this moment. There are well animated moments, yes, but there's just something about it.


its the character design its not animation friendly from the looks of it

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.




MAL probably just used the tags for Cutie Honey Flash which is from a shoujo magazine.

Though since this one is from a shounen magazine, it should have a shounen tag


Well, if you forget about yuri and another "fanservice", then it is quite similar to the cliché shoujo from the 70's, lol.

Oh yeah, I forgot Cutey Honey Flash xD. That thing was an alternative version who tried to be the replacement of Sailor Moon. Honey is human instead of a
, there is shoujo romance and family friendly.

If MAL just used the Cutey Honey Flash tags everything makes sense now.

A strange and absurd show, but in a good way, I think. Might turn out to be "weirdly" entertaining, because somehow the first episode sure was.

Yeah, I was surprised seeing a shoujo tag, on something that didn't look like one. Wait, Cutey Honey Flash is family friendly? The cover for the anime doesn't look family friendly lol.


Yeah, think about Sailor Moon with a Cutey Honey skin. Even the opening is much more softer.

You probably won't need to watch the older ones aside for the "I got that reference" material. This version starts a bit in media res with Honey's progression fighting the panther claw, but they probably explain anything necessary in the show.

So far it seems that way, but you should watch Re: Cutie Honey anyway. It's only three episodes so it's not a huge time investment.

Wow...here's another classic one for me to add recently along with Devilman Crybaby that I didn't even know existed. Makes ya feel small man...

I'm not entirely sure what I just watched there but the old school animation,cringey villains,good guys,dialogues,the classic close ripping fanservice & the "KYAAAAAAs!" during it...this was...great! Gimme more!

At first, I hated that this wasn't the original song, but I just watched the whole opening, and I have a smile on my face, sounds fantastic! The visuals aren't as good as Re:'s opening, and the song isn't quite as catchy, but while it's new, it keeps the spirit, I love it!

As for the episode, it was okay. I can see it getting better though. I did enjoy it enough to keep watching, some elements I like, like the designs of the villains and the promise of a dark turn.

Anyone who didn't enjoy it, or were a bit confused, I really recommend checking out Re: Cutie Honey! It is full of energy, a lot of fun to watch, and, it works really well for introducing everyone to the characters. This series definitely doesn't have that "origin story" vibe to it, so it makes sense why some people are kind of lost.

It was so good. Most underrated show in the season in my opinion

It has more entertaining 1st episode than many of the higher rated anime such as Persona 5 or Comic girls

To answer your questions, it’s *kind of* a reboot. It was designed to be able to be watched without having seen any previous Cutie Honey shows. And Genet and Jill *are* the same person

It gave me some Sailor Moon vibes, but the episode seemed like mid-season filler.
I haven't watched any of the previous Cutie Honey so I kinda missed something more introductory.

I don't even know what this show wants to be.

Does it want to be a show geared towards adults or kids? I don't think either demographic would be suitable because this anime can be pretty obscene but the dialogue and characters would really only appeal to children.

I am incredibly unimpressed with this show. Even if there are a lot of sweet tasty shots here and there for obvious reasons, the show just seems too childish for my liking. But unlike something such as Kemono Friends for example, this show is clearly not made for children either.

I'd rather be watching Killing Bites all over again because at least that clearly appeals to a particular demographic.

But still, as much as I am almost certain this will not make the cut, I still need to be fair. So I'll still give it the 3 episode chance. Why am I like this? ^_^

So I jumped into this without any prior knowledge about anything Cutie Honey related. Basically picked it up since 1. I didnt need to watch any of the previous ones. 2. It had Maaya Sakamoto and Yui Horie. 3. Some of the other series of it on MAL had nudity tag on it so I figured this might.

Shit was definitely lewder than I expected. 2 chicks in bikinis making out, everyone has big tits and nice bodies, lots of yuri undertones. Cutie Honey getting basically her entire suit ripped off barely covering anything. School friend in her underwear in tight bondage with whip marks, getting tickled in incredibly suggestive poses.

I'm kind of surprised that since they went that far in the first place they just didnt go all the way and show some nips. Did any of the previous series in the franchise show more? Or has it always teetered this awkward line of feeling like an afternoon kids magical girl show with random violent or lightly sexual scenes tossed in?

Also saw the video of the different versions of the show using the same theme throughout the years that someone else linked. I have no nostalgic connection to the theme song obviously, but it did have that catchy classic vibe to it and I can at least say I'm upset they didnt include it for consistencies sake.

They preserved the 70's feel and the yuri, but I was still strangely underwhelmed. The dialogue didn't feel as sparky and clever, maybe? Or is nostalgia speaking? At least the transformation scene was good.

I hope it gets better as we go along.

Haven't watched any Cutey Honey before.
So I just jumped into this and...

well, from the first episode this looks extremely generic.

(IMO) The designs for the main character and her mahou shoujo companions look good, but everyone else goes from plain to bad.

I'll give this anime a chance, but from the start I don't expect too much.

At least the ecchi is good.

So I never watched Cutey Honey before and decided to watch this. 7 minutes in, beautiful girl gets torn for no reason by a piece of shit. Was something like this normal for other installments of Cutey Honey, especially in 70s? Because I definitely don't wanna see such shit in a show that is supposed to be about fanservice.

There was Mahou Shoujos before, but they used to be Magical Princess or Cute Witch Archetype. Just like Akazukin Chacha (the original manga, the anime is Warrior), Witch Sally, Minky Momo and Megu Chan.

Cutey Honey is the first Mahou Shoujo Warrior, but the first Mahou Shoujo it is not clear, is torn between Witch Sally, Princess Knight and Himitsu no Akko-chan.
