This 1994 OAV was the first of several revivals of the 1973 TV series based on Go Nagai's manga stories. The characters are an assortment of familiar types. Diminutive, cartoony Grandfather Denbei appears alternately powerful and lecherous. Chokkei is the blushing teenage boy whose innocent charm earns him the protection of the buxom title character, the "lovely warrior" android who fights evil while losing her clothes with a frequency that would shock Little Annie Fannie. They're pitted against the demonic Dolmek and his hench-creatures who are trying to take over Cosplay City. But Honey proves more than a match for these nasty but ultimately ineffectual villains as she jiggles her way from victory to victory. New Cutey Honey embodies the "big eyes, big guns, big breasts" clichés that cause detractors to dismiss all Japanese animation--and send adolescent boys' pulses racing. Rated 17 Up: Nudity, violence, profanity. --Charles Solomon

Own it and watched it. It is awesome. I wish there would be more of the series coming out on dvd.

1 out of 5 stars Es un muy buen Anime.......2006-12-11

Es bastante comico, incluye comportamientos de Mazinger adaptados a los personajes de Cutey Honey, no podria ser mas que por Go Nagai.

Es bastante divertido

5 out of 5 stars old school anime.......2006-10-05

another film from way back. This film is like lite ecchi meaning it
gets kinky and even more kinky. Loads of viloence and nudity and even
self torture it's a film for the darkside of movie viewers. evil turns up
goes awawy and comes back even more sinister. it's a movie that pleases
you with how cool people or monsters can fight each other. Another hyper
violent romp in anime. the old school covers were better on vhs in my opinion.

4 out of 5 stars Fan-Service Galore.......2006-01-19

If you've read any of my previous reviews, then you know that I'm not a huge fan of fan-service. I think its shameless and I believe that animators use it to keep your attention while they struggle to keep the story going. This is why weaker anime can sometimes thrive, because it allures subconsciously to our more carnal section of our brains (philosophical, huh?). New Cutey Honey, however, isn't one of those anime. Fan-service dominates this series, but it runs parallel to the story, and is really meant to bring about laughs more than anything.

Honey is an android capable of changing into many different forms, all with their own special skills and uniforms. Unfortunately, that means she must end up in the buff for at least a few moments while the old uniforms shreds away for the new one to come. Though clearly shameless, it's usually funny because no matter how modest she attempts to be it just doesn't work. She must use a vast array of uniforms and skills in order to battle the evil Dolmeck, the man responsible for taking control of an entire city. Helping Honey is a young boy--who blushingly idolizes Honey--and his family, including the lecherous grandpa and the boy's criminal parents. When mixed together, it adds an interesting and unique cast.

Though filled with action and some drama, this is not a drama in any way. It's pure slapstick comedy from start to finish, never meant to be taken seriously. The animation quality is pretty high for an anime of that time, and Go Nagai, one of the legendary directors and animators, applies his well-known style. I'd recommend this to people who either enjoyed the original Cutey Honey series, are a fan of Go Nagai and his many anime, or like anime similar in design such as Golden Boy, then pick this up. Rated 17+, though, I would keep it away from children.

5 out of 5 stars A Great Anime for 12 and over.......2006-01-11

Cutie Honey is one of the best animes I have ever seen. It has truly captured that sexy Japanese sense of Humor. So if you love Anime you must buy Cutie Honey.
