Re: Cutie Honey consists of 3 fast paced OVAs with fun characters and a rule of cool storyline all presented with artistic animation that was way ahead of its time. What makes these OVAs really special is the number of popular names that are credited for these episodes. Episode 1 was directed by Hiroyuki Imaishihttps://anilist.co/staff/97349/HiroyukiImaishi most known for his directorial work with Studio Trigger for example Gurren Lagaan Kill La Kill and most recently Cyberpunk Edgerunners. Episode 2 was directed by Naoyuki Itohttps://anilist.co/staff/121193/NaoyukiItou who went on to direct Overlord and other Madhouse anime. But most importantly episode 3 was directed by Hideaki Annohttps://anilist.co/staff/100111/HideakiAnno the director of the Evangelion franchise. With three of the industrys big names involved in the visual presentation aspect of this anime you can tell that these OVAs are going to be a feast for the eyes. The plot however is less noteworthy consisting mostly of the cartoony evil bad guys terrorizing a town that our superhero Cutie Honey has to save. The first two episodes are mostly filled with ecchi jokes and cool battles although entertaining lack much substance. Thats until the third episode which since directed by Hideaki Anno explores themes of isolation and identity which may come off as pretentious considering the tone of the previous two episodes. The characters are colorful and lively and do undergo character development throughout the OVAs. Most of all theyre a lot of fun as theyre charismatic and have some human elements which increase their relatability. Overall the characters arent amazing but theyre much better than youd expect from a fanservice action OVA series. That brings me to the next point: the fanservice. These OVAs are filled with it from skimpy character designs to characters losing clothes in battle and theres even some yuri scenes in there for the yuri fans. However unlike most anime this show handles fanservice very well. The pace of the storyline and action is never hindered by it and isnt used to dehumanize the female characters rather it empowers them. Of course those who dont like ecchi will still not enjoy it. Nevertheless people like me who dont mind when fanservice is used artistically will appreciate how its never overdone and how it never interferes with the pacing or clashes with the tone. To sum it all up Re: Cutie Honey stands out as a highly memorable OVA series thanks to its accomplished directorial team and its highoctane stylized action paired with tasteful fanservice. With only three episodes its not much of a time investment. So if what I described above appeals to you I fully recommend giving this anime a try.
