Line 6:
A popular superheroine from the bizarre mind of [[Go Nagai]]. Notable, among other things, for being one of the first female characters to star in a [[Shounen]] series and [[Sailor Moon|through inspiration]], the prototypical [[Magical Girl Warrior]].
In the original '''''Cutey Honey''''' series from the
Honey's main power is the Phlebotinum her father was killed for -- her body contains the [[No Plans, No Prototype, No Backup|only prototype]]. Most modern adaptations explain it with [[Nanomachines]], but it's capable of assembling virtually any object from thin air (and disassembling them, too). Honey uses this to become a [[Voluntary Shapeshifter]], able to switch between several forms with matching abilities, costumes, and hair -- especially her most powerful form, the sword-wielding [[Redheaded Hero|Redheaded Heroine]] Cutey Honey.

'''The anime has been [[Revival|revived]] several times over the years:'''
* ''[[New Cutey Honey]]'', a slightly [[Darker and Edgier]] sequel set [[Twenty Minutes Into the Future]], with [[Cyberpunk]] overtones and several [[Lawyer-Friendly Cameo
* ''[[Cutey Honey Flash]]'': This incarnation was directly aimed at ''[[Sailor Moon]]'''s demographic - in fact, it was the next series to air in its timeslot after the last season and shared a lot of the same production staff. Aside from [[Bleached Underpants|obvious reasons]], was tweaked to play up the [[Magical Girl]] aspects of the character, right down to a sparkling stock footage [[Transformation Sequence]] and a [[Frilly Upgrade]]. This version also introduced a now standard trope, the [[Dark Magical Girl]], Misty Honey.
* [[Hideaki Anno]] and Gainax produced a [[Live Action Adaptation]] movie version in 2004, titled simply ''[[media:cutey_honey_f.jpg|Cutie Honey]]''. This is the only part of the franchise besides ''New Cutey Honey'' to make it to America.
** Gainax also released a 3-part [[OVA]], ''Re: Cutie Honey'', at roughly the same time. [[Broad Strokes|This series used the premises and characterizations from the 2004 movie]], but played up the [[Les Yay]] between Honey and Natsuko, here revamped as an [[The Determinator|stern, tough as nails adult policewoman]]. Anno was also part of this series, but while he provided the overall series direction, each episode had a different director and it shows.

There have also been several different manga adaptations of the franchise.

* [[Action Girl]]: OH SO MUCH. Every anime Action Girl is just following the example Honey established way back when. She's to anime what [[Metroid|Samus Aran]] is to video games.
* [[Alertness Blink]]
