YMMV / Re: Cutie Honey

• Best Known for the Fanservice: Lesbian Honey and Aki. And of course a french kiss between the two of them. Girl on Girl Is Hot? Very.
• Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: The Comiket scene in the first OVA.
• Complete Monster: In this Denser and Wackier take on the franchise, these two stand out as particularly vile:
  • Sister Jill is the sociopathic leader of Panther Claw, and the prototype of Cutie Honey. Originally locked away after Honey Kisaragi's success, Jill was released and slaughtered all of the scientists. Establishing Panther Claw to spread terror and fear, Jill wants to destroy civilization and emotion out of fear of feeling sadness or confusion, while also wanting to use Honey to gain eternal youth. She sends her kaijin Gold Claw to be arrested in order to destroy the police station and start a riot, and later approves of Cobalt and Scarlet Claw's plan to kidnap and murder every woman in town who looks like Honey until the real Honey shows herself. Having Black Claw bring back the captured 10,000 women, Jill uses the women as a fuel source for her Jill Tree to spread her influence around the world. When Honey and Natsuko break into the Jill Tree, Jill uses her butler to psychologically torture Honey due to looking like her deceased father, and attempts to combine with her to obtain absolute power, seeking to turn everyone in the world into emotionless shells like herself. After Honey is freed by her friends and tries to combine with Jill to make her have emotions, Jill, refusing to combine with Honey, has the U.S. government launch a nuclear missile onto the Tree, which would destroy the entire city, all because she'd rather die as herself than change.
  • Scarlet Claw is one of the Four Gods serving Sister Jill, and the worst of the bunch. A selfish brat willing to do anything to gain attention, Scarlet hatches a plan where she and Cobalt Claw have women who look like Honey kidnapped and killed until the real Honey reveals her true identity, preparing to increase the search range the longer Honey doesn’t show herself. While this is going on, Scarlet tries to get the city to hate Honey, blaming her for Panther Claw's actions. Once Honey arrives to stop her, Scarlet has Cobalt killed and uses her nanomachine ashes to corrupt Honey in an attempt to have Jill control her. Preparing to bring the 10,000 women she's captured to Jill to serve as her fuel source, Scarlet later tries to use her own nanomachine ashes to corrupt Honey once again.
• Magnificent Bastard: Seiji Hayami, supposedly a bumbling journalist for the Maicho Newspaper, is actually "Agent Blue", a government agent tasked with stopping Sister Jill. Well-versed in the history of Professor Kisaragi and his creations Honey and Jill, Seiji gets Honey and Inspector Natsuko Aki involved in his plot to stop Panther Claw. Keeping his true motives a secret from the two just to toy with them, Seiji isn't afraid to coldly kill Honey after she goes haywire, while still congratulating Natsuko for saving her. Doing what he can to assist Honey and Natsuko, while willing to risk his and their lives for the sake of stopping Jill, Seiji ends the story both a hero and an ally in Honey and Natsuko's new crime fighting business. Able to plan his moves several steps ahead of everybody, or at least create safety precautions in case of an emergency, Seiji proves himself to bear a crafty intellect and never loses his playful charm even when caught in tight spots.
• Tear Jerker: OVA 2 has its moments between Honey and Natsuko, especially their fight and makeup scenes.
