    Like FLCL's fast paced filmography?

    Like Anno Hideaki, creather of Neon Genesis/Shin Seiki Evangelion?

    Like, as Misato would say, "Service"?

    Well then, look no further than the NEW Cutie Honey! Seriously.

    If you don't know WHAT Cutie Honey is, it's pretty much about an android/human girl who is on revenge road because the Panther Organization killed her father. Her powers, are, basically, cosplay powers. She can turn into anything she wants, a biker chick (awfully reminiscent of the Biker Girl in Goldenboy), a nurse, etc. It's a part of her cybernetic powers to be able to transform seamlessly from one diguise to the next. And, by day, she's Kisaragi Honey, an office temp usually forced to leave in the middle of her temp job to fight crime!

    What's great about RE: Cutie Honey is that it's extremely fast paced. And I mean, FAST. It's, at its slowest, a seemingly more demented version of FLCL. The art is very displaced, and has a very "just scribbled to put something down" type of feel.

    Oh, and it has Koda Kumi's version of Cutie Honey's OP. So, you get to hear Koda Kumi moan out, "Onegai", to those fans who like that kind of service.

    Personally, I would ALREADY give this the Hentai League Thumbs Up, but I'm not sure Teddz or Shen would watch it. ^_^

    It's been great so far. I didn't like episode 2 as much, though. The original Cutie Honey series are also being released by Spork on AnimeSuki, go look! ^_^

    Can't wait to see how Honey fights Jill in OVA 3. The looks on the police men's faces when Honey transformed in OVA 1, that was funny... but a lot of it was.
    edit: oh.. wanted to add, I really love Koda Kumi's op and end for this show and am interested in seeing the Live movie.

    Can't say i really liked the first episode, I'm not sure why, maybe it was because all the police men looked like little kids, and all they seemed to do was get shot at and STILL have a happy smile opn their face's. I think there are a few people who liked them because of this, but it kinda bugged me. Anyway, i'd still like to check out the the rest of the series just to see if it picks up.
    But i thought that Jill was really funny (she's the detective right?).

    No. Jill is Sister Jill, the main antagonist. Na-chan is the inspector.

    OOOOOOOOHHHHH, right. Now i remember who sister Jill is, she's the main bad guy (girl). I probably should watch the show again.
