A three episode OVA series released in 2004, Re Cutie Honey is yet another spin-off of the popular 1973 manga Cutie Honey. The story follows android girl Honey Kisaragi(AKA Cutie Honey) as she uses her powers to fight against the evil super villain orginization Panther Claw, run by a mysterious women known as Sister Jill. Along the way Honey befriends tough as nails female inspector Aki Natsuko who is also out to stop Panther Claw from destroying Tokyo.
Re Cutey Honey is one over the top series! Being a magical girl show it has all manner of special attacks that need to be shouted, crazy looking bad guys(or bad girls in this case), and of course scenes where the heroine makes naked transformations in front of others! :D Even though this is still technically a magical girl show it is anything but! The villains often look insanely ridiculous to be taken seriously, the girls are more bad ass than sweet at times, and there is an amazing amount of naked ladies! XD Sailor Moon this is not!
To top off the impressive action though is the high levels of yuri to be had in this short series! Aki is the tsundere in this case as she is clearly at odds with Honey's peppy nature and the fact that Honey's fights almost always cause major damage to the city! It does not help that Cutie Honey's outfit makes her look like a member of Panther Claw! :P But in the short span of the series Aki manages to warm up to, and trust Honey. Honey herself has always tries to get closer to the hard-headed fem-detective. One major point comes when Honey breaks down after a battle due to stress form her fights, as well as tension between herself and Aki. Aki(being awesome as hell) decides to revive Honey through the power of love! In this case by warming up Honey's body with her own! XD
Luckily, Honey manages to destroy Sister Jill and save Tokyo thanks to some much needed help(and love) from Aki! Yes there is an amazing kiss and yes they do appear to get together! F**K YEAH to happy yuri endings!
Needless to say this is one hell of a fun series! It has great animation, great action, great characters and amazing yuri! If only it were available in the US. Just don't let that stop you from enjoying this fun series!
