| Note: The Blu-ray
release contains all 8 episodes, song subtitles, trailers, clean openings
& endings, audio drama, and more! (July 31, 2019)
> In an alternate universe where evil comes in all shapes and sizes, the
legendary battle android, Cutey Honey, is summoned to defeat Panther Zora's
army of shape-changing villains. She is the ultimate warrior -- capable
of changing at will into a dazzling array of lovely-but-lethal bodies,
each with its own unique set of skills, weapons and impressive physical
attributes.
> Go Nagai brings Cutey Honey's excellent animation to fans once more.
His style combines awesome character animation with stills, strobe motion,
and at least in Collection 2, somewhat realistic cityscapes. Another
thing he included was way too much non-shaded animation to the eighth episode.
Bah! What's this, cost cutting? Add in great English dubbing
and sound effects, plus a catchy theme song to complete the package.
> Episode 5: The city is threatened by a hidden nuclear bomb that
is set to go off at midnight. In order to save the city and its citizens,
Danbei utilizes his "magic undies" move, while Honey becomes a pretty pink
nurse, cop, and super-biker! The evil spawn Panther Zora has other
plans though...
> Episode 6: Yasha, a magical samurai, stages a drama of life and
death with the help of her undead mannequins. Yasha claims to be
invincible to Honey's blade attacks, but we all know she can "flash" into
numerous lethal weapons! Chokkei and family take care of the undead
while Honey rewrites Yasha's book.
> Episode 7: Daiko is kidnapped by the "Thug Alliance" and taken
to Con Island, which is run by the ruthless bloodthirsty Scorpion.
The prison on this island is there solely to entertain Scorpion with bloodsport
fighting matches. Honey becomes a diver, sea captain, and big time
wrestler in order to rescue the potential victims and put Scorpion out
of business.
> Episode 8: Professor Kabuto, who did Danbei's cyborg surgery, creates
an "Instant Space Removal Machine" (ISRM), which is essentially a portable
teleportation device. Golddigger wants all the gold in the world
so she steals the ISRM in order to teleport in and out of vaults at will.
Honey becomes a knight in white armor and enlists the help of Peeping Spider
in order to stop this reincarnation of Black Maiden... |
