I may have already posted this on Deviant Art, but I can't remember. Regardless, here it is: Cutey Honey, captured by the minions of Panther Claw, along with police inspector Natsuko Aki, from the Re: Cutie Honey OVA that was supervised by Hideaki Anno, based on his life action version. And as mercurial a talent as Anno is, he scored big with this perfect OVA. Honey is a wonderful combination of newborn innocence and action anime badass, while the addition of Natsuko Aki balances Honey's naivete with a character of professional drive and experienced cynicism. Not to mention that sexy women in jackets and tight skirts are hot.
Sadly this OVA isn't available in the US unless you go the bootleg route. If you can find a dealer you can trust who sells bootlegs, this is a fantastic three-part series that combines all of the classic Cutey Honey elements with some eye-popping visuals (and a little crude humor) from the man who gave us Evangelion.
