areaseven Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 (edited) I'm surprised no one mentioned this... Cutie Honey The Live premiered in Japan earlier this month. Has anyone seen this series? And how does it compare to the movie?

Keith Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 I've seen some clips on youtube, and didn't like it at all. The Actress they got to play Honey only has big tits going for her, nothing else. Very sub par to Anno's movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hikuro Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 Likewise, I'll watch it cause it's cutie honey, but so far I'm not very impressed by the series yet, very subpar acting and effects...I feel sort of cheated compared to what we got from the Cutie honey movie...I'd honestly rather have something like that then what I've seen thus far.

Mowe Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 I thought they had one made awhile ago, that was a very sub-par effort indeed. I think Cutie Honey is one of those anime best left as cel production, unless they go all the way with Cutie's transformation.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy007 Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 have not seen this, and judging by that pic...im not going to. It looks awful. the Cutie Honey movie from a while back was not that bad at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lord_breetai Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 (edited) It's pretty sad. Anno showed them how to do it perfect. And instead they go in the complete opposite direction. This really suprises me, I for one have been enjoying Cutie Honey the Live emmensly, and I'm not what you'd call a very big fan of the Franchise, I like the shoujo version CH Flash and the Anno movie but I think in terms of storytelling and direction this is vastly supperior to Anno's rendition. The Anno movie was just plain silly and overly cartoony... this one reminds me of Ultraman Nexus, it's very dark... so far in the first two Episodes Honey's gotten the crap kicked out of her two times, in Episode 3 and 4 she's failed to save a few people... Panther Claw is very scary and strong in this compared to the movie where they seemed more of a joke. It's a matter that here it actually feels like CH needs to really toughen up, she's barely holding her own against some of the sub-bosseses and the main baddies are kicking her ass, so she's going to have to grow a lot before the end. Edit: I guess what I like most of all is it's not as cartoony yeah there are still some of the anime-esc phsyics in live action from the Anno movie but there's a lot less of it... at times I sometimes forgot I wasn't watching an anime while watching Anno's film because the fights were so over the top... here you get a bit of that like when Honey tries to punch the Panther Claw boss and and he seems to teleport out of the way. but nothing like say when Gold Claw launched her missiles in the movie or was tossing CH around with her hair. I will follow this drama to the end... it's just a bit above my Japanese profficiency level so it's good practice. And while it's got fanservice it dosn't seem too perverted (well except for episode 3). Bottom line, the movie was good... this is much better. Is no one else loving this show?

JsARCLIGHT Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 I am by no means a Cutie Honey fan or hater, but those videos are a new level of retarded that my mind is not used to viewing. It's almost as if it's a cruel parody by someone trying to make fun of Japanese live action sci fi shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lord_breetai Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 okay now that I've watched the clip you're all judging this on. I'm just going to say that the fights and transformations are are lot better in my opinion in the other episodes... this is the first one and the others arn't as slapstick. I do agree with Noriko that I don't like the new theme song cover (by Wild Sannin Musume)... But yeah actually try watching the show instead of just youtube clips, it's not bad.

Hikuro Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 But yeah actually try watching the show instead of just youtube clips, it's not bad. I've watched 4 outta 5 of the episodes so far, and I have to say 0_o it's bad....it's just sad the only reason I even watch it is because I've got only bleach and D.Grayman for anime watching....there's nothing good out there, so the bordem forces me to download this crap in hoping it gets better.

lord_breetai Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 (edited) I don't know what you guys were expecting really... a lot of people on other forums are really enjoying this. If you expected a great drama this isn't going to be it. If you're looking for a show with good fights and a little bit of kink, cuteness and humor this is for you. just finished episode 5... that was really interesting, almost no screen time for Honey... but Sister Miki is just flipping Psycho, and I like the new ending theme. just noticed Sister Miki has a Spade on her butt where CH has a heart. So is each of the three honeys going to be represented by different "suit" in a deck of cards... and who then will be the last one?
