SparkleDuck said: HanchSlanger said: 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. What was cheap or gross about this? It felt like it was produced pretty well for me. 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. |

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! |
CrotakuShinobi said: 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. 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. |
rvbrick said: 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 |
Inferno_Blaze said: RobertBobert said: 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. https://myanimelist.net/manga/25592/Cutey_Honey_Flash 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. |
  |
| that was just about exactly what one could expect from a cutie honey adaptation |
 |
| Can I watch this show without needing to watch any of the others? Even Re: Cutey Honey? |

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. |

BroskiKyoujin said: Can I watch this show without needing to watch any of the others? Even Re: Cutey Honey? 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. |
| Im hooked....and Maaya Sakamoto as Honey, hell yeah im down. I love her already. About the animation : https://twitter.com/Yuyucow/status/983023441086500865 Extra info about the project. I thought it was a solid episode. |

 Off to a good start, I see. |
BroskiKyoujin said: Can I watch this show without needing to watch any of the others? Even Re: Cutey Honey? 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. |
 |
| Well that reminded me of 80's anime. I liked the ending with the bondage girl. |

| 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 BroskiKyoujin said: Can I watch this show without needing to watch any of the others? Even Re: Cutey Honey? Yes I say you can watch it without watching the previous anime \ I watched Re: Cutey Honey long time ago, I don't even remember anything from it |
| Other than the fight against the three members of Panther Claw, which was bad at the beggining, is exactly how I expected it a Cutie Honey anime to be. |
 |
| Was kind of bothered with the opening, but what they did with the chu is pretty cute. And not sure why people keep bringing up Re:... |

| 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. Well, let's see how the next goes... |
| Baby, daijobanai... |
| 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. |
| I'm just here for the ecchi fanservice! 5/5. |
 |
| I guess you can fap to this. |
| 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. |

| Definitely a fun watch Some stylistic choices gave me trigger vibes |

| "I thought this was supposed to be an old school rip off of sailormoon." Lol. So this was the first mahou shoujo?? No wonder SailorMoon was naked in her transformation and wears a sexy sailor outfit afterwards. |

dabritian said: Yeah cutie honey flash was my basis. Before watching the anime i was thinking its gonna be the same (or originally like it), but it turned out to be Ecchi which surprised the heck out off me.
