New original Cutie Honey video animation to be released Dec 6

4 Comments

To commemorate 40 years since the birth of the "Cutie Honey" manga and movie series, "New Cutie Honey" OVA (original video animation) will be released on Dec 6. Before that, "Cutie Honey Complete" on Blu-Rray will be released on Oct 11.

Fans are excited about the coming release. New material has not been released since the famous film, produced by Gainax, directed by Hideaki Anno and starring Eriko Sato and the 3-episode OVA series, also produced by Gainax, in 2004, and a TV series on TV Tokyo in 2007.

Created by Go Nagai in 1973, "Cutie Honey" is thought to be one of the first female heroes in a "shonen anime" series.

Cutie Honey - real name, Honey Kisaragi - seems like an ordinary girl in her real life, but she specializes in changing to different forms to fight evil when it comes. When she transforms into her true form, Cutie Honey, and yells "Honey Flash!" she can conquer the forces of evil.

Here's a trailer from the famous 2004 movie, starring Eriko Sato.

Sadly the authour of this article needs to do some more research. CH was only one of many early such figures and they are widespread throughout anime history...and tho she may appeal to a degree of those who appreciate anime, she is far from any kind of historic icon. But thanks for including some notice of anime.

Wait, wasn't the original cutie honey chock full of nudity? It certainly has changed a lot from its origins.
