Cutie Honey
When Honey's uncle gets kidnapped by the evil criminal gang known as "Panther Claw," she must use her magical powers of transformation to save him. Meanwhile the same crime group has been responsible for a number of other crime sprees across Tokyo. In the process, Honey teams up with the seemingly cold police woman Natsuko Aki and hot shot journalist Seiji Hayami as well as battle the four "claws" of the Panther Claw gang to save her uncle and the rest of the city.
Critics Sentiment
Honey sprints through Tokyo in underwear fighting Gold Claw
Honey falls into depression while Natsuko gets suspended
The film drops significantly from its crowd-pleasing opening to a sluggish middle section before partially recovering with musical numbers.
Cutie Honey starts with a widely praised opening that perfectly captures anime energy, but struggles with pacing issues in the middle act. The film recovers somewhat with entertaining musical sequences and action beats, though the earnest ending feels tonally mismatched to most viewers.
