Legendary
animator Hideaki Anno (GRAVE OF THE FIREFLIES and MACROSS SAGA) turns
director for this incredible extravaganza! To the surprise of many people
(critics and audiences alike) CUTIE HONEY emerges as one of the greatest
action adventures of all time... filled with broad camp humor and eye-popping
visual effects. This movie is both stupid and smart, cheesy and breathtaking,
sexy and sweet. "Forget SPIDERMAN. Even forget KEKO MASK. The new
superhero spectacular is CUTIE HONEY!"
The comic, as penned by Go Nagai, began in 1973. Now, Nagai is back as
scripter for this movie about a girl with ridiculously strong fighting
powers. Sweet Kisaragi lives in a secluded boarding school, but when evil
threatens the world it's time for her to fight crime. Kisaragi screams
"HONEY FLASH!" and transforms into the sexy fighting diva Cutie
Honey. The world will never be the same.
Please note: Director Anno's previous film, SHIKI-JITSU, is also available from Asian Cult Cinema.
