Audience Rating: Unrated Binding: DVD EAN: 0702727006326 Format: Animated, Color, Dubbed, DVD-Video, Subtitled, NTSC Label: Adv Films Languages: Manufacturer: Adv Films Number Of Items: 1 Publisher: Adv Films Region Code: 1 Release Date: December 12, 2000 Running Time: 115 minutes Studio: Adv Films Theatrical Release Date: February 07, 1998 Editorial Review: Amazon.com: This 1994 OAV was the first of several revivals of the 1973 TV series based on Go Nagai's manga stories. The characters are an assortment of familiar types. Diminutive, cartoony Grandfather Denbei appears alternately powerful and lecherous. Chokkei is the blushing teenage boy whose innocent charm earns him the protection of the buxom title character, the "lovely warrior" android who fights evil while losing her clothes with a frequency that would shock Little Annie Fannie. They're pitted against the demonic Dolmek and his hench-creatures who are trying to take over Cosplay City. But Honey proves more than a match for these nasty but ultimately ineffectual villains as she jiggles her way from victory to victory. New Cutey Honey embodies the "big eyes, big guns, big breasts" clichés that cause detractors to dismiss all Japanese animation--and send adolescent boys' pulses racing. Rated 17 Up: Nudity, violence, profanity. --Charles Solomon Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Cutey Honey-Essential Anime Collection (Vol.1 & 20dCutey Honey - Essential Anime Collection (Vols. 1 & 2) Cutey Honey is a cute, fun and sexy series. I have always enjoyed this series and had to include it in my anime collection. If you love good anime give Cutey Honey a Holla. Definitely not time wasted. Rating: - Mindless fun and that's about itIn a city plagued by crime. Honey Kisaragi works as a secretary for the mayor who is fighting against the criminals. A man by the name of Dolmek seeks to control the city. During a scuffle with Dolmek's men, Honey awakens her dormant power as Cutey Honey to fight off Dolmeks minions. She then vows to protect the city and fight evil. I will admit right this instant that I'm not a fan of Go Nagai. And I will never consider him to be a genuis or an anime icon. But I did enjoy Cutey Honey ... Read More Rating:  - AwesomeSure, the plots are simplistic and the boobie-flashes are sophomoric. But... really now... just what DID you expect?!? It's damn good, mindless anime. Throw it on at a party. Your guest'll love it! Rating: - Now I believe in Superheroes againBoredom with endlessly repeating "Crisis of infinite crossover twists" and plots aimed at juveniles, I quickly grew disinterested with the "Superhero" genre. I loved the 'deconstructionist' things, like "Marshall Law" and "Watchmen"... But this anime is just so good. Cutey Honey is a true superhero, an endless, selfless crusader for justice who willingly fights to defend those around her but also needs them to believe in her. My favorite scenes are the "Burning up" song intro from chapter ... Read More Rating: - Naked Girl Androids! Critical Reviews! Great Fun!Back in the early 1970s, Go Nagai and the animators at Toei thought up Cutey Honey. Busty, bouncy, very pretty, violent, and often naked, Cutey Honey was one of the first world-famous magical girl superheroines. And American critics have had a field day ever since proclaiming that they of course are not fans of naked girl androids, and reassuring us - and anxious parents - that the plot is pretty silly, the animation hopelessly old-fashioned, the characterizations paper-thin, and the whole thing is really ...
