Honey flash!

Yup, our heroine trying to do the right thing again by putting monsters to their place. Not bad this episode. The action scenes looked flashy but damn, that red monster looked horrid. Honey seems to be also getting better at using her powers.

I kinda like how catchy the music sounded this episode too.

Episode 2...

Finally they're telling Honey's past...
The action is so good ;__;
This episode we see some good key animators again, Toya Oshima, Shinsaku Kozuma, Hironori Tanaka, Tatsuya Miki.

I need to rewatch this episode!

Also, I really like the relationship between Honey and Jill. Enemy, yet a close friend, I think? A recurring theme that I find Nagai's works such as Devilman.

So this time we got the backroundstory for Honey,think the ones who complained about that should be pleased now.

Nice episode again.

It wasn't very interesting, still feels like a kids show. Nothing wrong with that but overall pretty boring episode, couldn't even finish till the end.

Oh, although the new opening is noticeably weaker than the original, I practically get an orgasm, every time seeing it. Just the perfect combination of animation and disco, which reminds me of the times of Rosario + Vampire.

In the rest, the second episode I also liked, there is something extremely fun in this mix of nostalgic silly tropes, fanservice and well-animated action. By the way, the relationship between Honey and Jill was should be ... so yuri-sh?

Pretty good episode. Honey's backstory is pretty much the same as the 70's version, even her first transformation is Hurricane Honey, just like in the original.

I really like the fact that they didn't give his father a death monologue, I always hated that trope. When someone is stabbed like that, they don't have time to talk.

The exposition scene was a bit long, but at least visually interesting,with different angles and specially Honey's transformations in the background.

Honey and Sister Jill Genet make a great team.


Definitely not the best anime this season, but surely the most underrated.

I shall be very amused if they go the yuri route with this incarnation. Perhaps Jill's plan is to seduce Honey and lure her to the dark side? A Honey honeytrap so to speak? Could be a good way to get a Bad Guys Win which seems like a Go Nagai thing. >_>

I liked this episode a lot. The OST has been amazing so far, especially Genet/Jill’s theme. The only thing that I’m upset about is the fact that this episode confirms that all of the fight scenes will more than likely take place in the “gravity tunnels”. On the plus side, Honey has two never before seen forms (Armor Honey and Nurse Honey).

got to admit was not expecting honey's backstory this soon and I have to say it wasn't bad but the fight scenes could still use a little but of work. so now we know the names and designs for all of honey's transformations the one's I'm looking forward too are Idol, Misty and Armor. please tell me they didn't use real fire for the monster transformation effect because it looked so bad and out of place.

Armor Honey is from the manga, Shin and Re incarnations. Same for Nurse Honey.

I'm still really not convinced so far. I'm glad we got the backstory and setting details in this episode, it's a big help, but the tone just seems to be stuck in high grade seriousness with her father's death and that whole abused girl turning into a monster.

Maybe it's just prior expectations tainting my opinion but this show is still not looking good for me...

While there are some low points for the show, such as some of the animation being meh, it definitely has way too low a score imho. 6 is pretty low on MAL...

Good episode.
We got to see Honey’s backstory and how she was created. Fights scenes are okay tho.
I agree with some of the comments that this show is quite underrated.
It’s not that great, but I do find it entertaining to watch.

Pretty fun episode again. Looks like we got to know about Honey's goal now. Jill is different villain than I anticipated. Also nice to see other recurring characters back and looks like they are funny as usual.

So it's not a kids show but develops as one?

I noticed "romance" as one of the genres, I dont know about the previous ones, but is really possible to have any romantic development in this show given the way it goes? I dont think the teachers making out occasionally should count as romance.

I would prefer a direct sequel to Re Cutie Honey than this. 6/10 is a proper score for this.

To be fair, Re:Cutey Honey closes the story in a way that a sequel would be forced.

This episode was just the kind of ridiculous old school schlock I was hoping for.
I feel like most people just don't "get" this show.

password is upper case "HONEY" !? what a weak password!
So this is the show where the main heroine doesn't notice that the main antagonist is the one that is always beside her at all times!?!?
4/5.

I enjoyed ep 2 even more than ep 1 with the whole backstory section and the action. It's a simple and average show, but quite fun to watch.

Honey's design and the color work on her designs look great.

Great action. It's paired with some possibly 70s corniness, and fancy designed characters old yet newish. Could turn repetitive with monster of the week wanting the long-name-device.

they toned down the fanservice it seems.

the nostalgic art has its charm, though.
