Given the high level of fanservice in this show and Inoue's involvement, I'm quite surprised that the fountain in episode two was the only instance of Honey been dropped into water that I've seen so far :sweat:
I'm all for it. Still need to complete Sailormoon LA. But the fightscenes are kinda... Meh? I couldn't stick with it after two eps. Time to dust it off I guess.
As goofy as PGSM was...as in MMPR calibre goofy...they played with a lot of interesting concepts that I would like to see in the Sailor Moon 2013 remake.
I'm not a massive anime fan, but from what I've heard the magical girl genre hadn't really established itself when the original Cutie Honey anime came out, so she was considered more of a female henshin hero at the time. But nowadays it seems like she's more often considered one of the earliest examples of a magical girl.

Every time Magic Girl is brought up...I always hear Witch Sally and Cutey Honey as the forerunners.:sly:
But she's not a henshin magical girl, those came later. Probably helped by Cutey Honey. Also she was born with those powers, didn't gain them, those types also came later.
And even then the first few henshin magical girls after Honey weren't into fighting monsters so much...
