Summary: Great
Review: Go Nagai is one of the best animator's alive, and Cutey Honey is one of his most fun series to watch. Honey is a beautiful android who is able to change into many forms. She reminds me of Naomi Armitage in that she feels very deeply for other humans. Her nemesis is Dolmeck, ruler of the dark world. He controls various demonic creatures that pose as normal humans, and Honey must battle these demons in pretty much every episode. Beautifully done, with a great sense of humor. If you enjoy Cutey Honey, then check out Kekko Kamen or Hanappe Bazooka. If you want more serious anime, then buy the Devilman DVD! He is also responsible for Mazinger and Getter Robo, for you fans of Robotech, Macross and Gundam. I would highly recommend getting as many of his videos and DVDs as possible. They are all very different and unique with great storytelling and animation!!

Summary: the extras are the only good things.
Review: The DVD version of the frequently-transforming android's adventures is chock-full of extras, like a press conference, crazy interviews, a live-action Cutey Honey performance, phone messages, and a design portfolio. While those are pretty cool, the series itself is boring .... It looks as though ADV wanted to emphasize that New Cutey Honey is for older audiences, so they took the liberty of adding as much unnecessary cussing as they possibly could to the dub and even the subtitles. ...The storyline is pretty weak- you have an android named Cutey Honey that can transform into any type of person (a samurai, gymnast, wrestler, ninja, etc.) and use their abilities in the situations that they are needed. Each episode features a villain doing something evil, so Cutey Honey is dispatched and fights the bad guy in a very dull and predictable fight scene. The DVD extras are actually more interesting than the anime itself, which isn't a great thing, you know. Stay away from this unless you're a big fan of the 70's TV series.

Summary: Honey Flash!
Review: This collection is the better alternative to buying the more expensive single discs separately. I love Cutey Honey. I had the original VHS tapes years ago and was glad that a collection of the eight episodes had finally been released. The extras on the DVDs include cosplay performances and interviews with the voice actresses.
Sadly the number of episodes belies an unfinished work. I have a feeling Go Nagai wanted a continuing series, but never got around to making it so. Still, for all fans of Cutey Honey this is a must-buy collection.

Summary: One of the greats!
Review: This series and Project A-Ko were what got me interested in anime years ago, and I was thrilled to see this come out on DVD. A very entertaining yet brief (8 episodes) show, that was great if you are a fan of superheroes. Not an overly serious show, but great character designs, artwork, lots of laughs and fan service type nudity, mixed with great action in a villain of the week style format. The only complaint I had was that it seemed as if the 2nd half of the first DVD seems like the climax finale to the series, and in fact was the best 2 episodes. The 2nd DVD just felt like filler episodes.

Summary: EVEN EXPOSURE GETS BORING
Review: You know, I keep hearing that Go Nagai is this manga/anime legend. After viewing Cutey Honey and looking at the character designs and reading reviews of his other works, I'm not impressed. To me, it would be like saying Tiny Tim was a pioneer of rock music. It just doesn't add up. The first volume of this collection was fair, but the second disk became unwatchable fast. The world of Cutey Honey is a strange place, looking like something from Hell basically. Cosplay City, where the action takes place is a gloomy, sunless, place where you would expect to find Lucifer. We do find his equivalent in the uni-brow demon crime lord Dolmek. The city is overrun with crime, even the parents of the preadolescent Chokkei, are involved in the crime wave. The new mayor is trying to change things but even he can't rid the city of crime alone. That's where Cutey Honey comes in. Cutey Honey is a well-endowed female android whose powers allow her to shapeshift to defeat the evil person of the week. She also has an attraction to Chokkei which borders on the illegal.
In the end she always transforms into a beautiful red-headed warrior with a sword, but before she does that she catalogs all of her guises she used in the episode before she kills her enemy. To transform she has to yell "Honey Flash!" This is a good pun because all her clothes dissolve off her body and she is stark naked as she changes. Her enemies are usually human in appearance until she begins to fight them and then they shoot up something from a syringe and they transform into a demon. The first disk ends in a confrontation with Dolmek in which the ship she is fighting him on blows up as Chokkei looks on helplessly. Is Cutey Honey dead? Did she win? Did she escape?
Who knows? When you put in volume 2, unexplainably you are on a different world. The characters are basically the same, except Chokkei looks about 17 or so now and Cutey Honey is asking him about sex. The city has the same name and mayor but it has transformed into a modern looking city with skyscrapers and such. Without any explanation, we have dimensionally shifted to a world completely different than the first volume. This is where my attention span dropped off. It was too disorienting to me. I mean, 2001: A Space Odyssey made more sense to me. The series was interesting at first but the battles all ended the same way. It followed an unalterable formula. The abrupt change with no explanation on the second disk destroyed any enjoyment. I didn't even finish watching after the 2nd episode on Volume 2. There are tons of extras if you're a Honey fan. Especially amusing were the sections showing these 3 Japanese actresses portraying characters from the series at press conferences and anime festivals. At one point, they are singing the theme song, and they are the most horribly choreographed 3 people I have ever seen. They can hardly even keep a beat, and their moves are so slow, you can tell they didn't get much rehearsal time. when they act out a fight scene from the show, it looks like William Shatner and Dolemite had a hand in the stunts. There are interviews, trailers, phone messages, and a recording session of the theme song. If you really like Cutey Honey, you'll love this collection. If you're not a fan, I would recommend you not waste your money on these dvds. For better fan serviced action that actually is of good quality, I would recommend Najica Blitz Tactics on Dvd.
