Despite the fact that, at the time of this review, Shin Cutie Honey only has positive or mixed reviews here, I've mostly seen negative opinions about it everywhere else. I do not understand them, however. Shin Cutie Honey is a soft-sequel of the original, 1973 series, though in a way it makes more sense to refer to it as the "Turn A Gundam" of Cutie Honey, as it is set in a distant, dystopic future with different versions of characters from Nagai Go's star system. It adds a lot to the original by having characters with more fleshed out personalities and episodes with more of a storyto them.
We now have a Gotham-esque metropolis of "Cosplay City", a "hardened" Honey with attitude, a lovely side-cast (I absolutely ADORE the visuals and relationship dynamic between Akakabu and Daiko, Chokkei's parents) and a late-80's - 90's aesthetic that almost borders self-parody, from large shoulder-pads to glam-rock.

It goes harder in the ecchi direction, to the point that it would be very difficult to post a video about it on you tube without having to censor a lot of it, from Black Maiden's delicious flat chest to a Honey that, despite being made out of metal, really feels like a human made out of meat, bones, fat, muscle and sinew. It knows what aesthetic it wants, from the guitar rendition of the original theme song, from Honey's new forms such as a silver armor.

What might be a a letdown for many, however, is that Shin Cutie Honey is an incomplete story... sort of. It was initially supposed to have 12 episodes, but it only ever had 8. This is less of a problem since, due to it's unorthodox structure, the story technically "ends" at episode 4, with the remaining ones being somewhat self-contained episodes. If you found the (Equally incomplete) ending of the original series satisfactory, then this one shouldn't really be an issue for you.

I don't think that I need to talk about the artstyle or animation, it's the good quality you expect from a 90's OVA.
Give it the three episode try, at the very least, as I personally consider the third one one of the best.
