| | THEM Anime Reviews 4.0 - New Cutey Honey (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09) |
 | | The original 1973 TV series Cutey Honey was, in fact, intended for a shoujo audience (a fact that will surprise many fans younger than the age of, oh, forty). |
 | | Cutey Honey is the prettiest looking of the whole lot, naturally, and Gotoh Keiji (this seems to be one of his earlier works) tones down Go Nagai's character designs so they're not so deformed, which helps. |
 | | It seems that Cutey Honey, as a creation, is actually trying to go beyond the perverted, ultra-violent reputation of its creator, Go Nagai, but can never fully shake off the taint no matter how hard it tries, especially considering how many of Nagai's male fans embraced this series so thoroughly. |
