#Devilman manga laced with drugs series
The original TV series debuted in October 1973, only a few days after the manga first hit stores. So, let's take a look at the various incarnations that have been made off of Go Nagai's original manga. She is very protective of her friends, is always willing to stand up and fight for them, and truly loves the people of the world and wants to protect them. Still, through it all, Honey has a big heart and a sweet personality. She even gives a lot of her friends a hard time, and in the variations of the story where Honey's secret identity is a school girl, much of the comic relief comes from the fact that Honey is a bit of a class clown, and is constantly aggravating her teachers. What sets Honey apart from most anime heroines is that she has a sense of humor, and often enjoys ridiculing or teasing her enemies in combat. While there is plenty of "fan service" and "wardrobe malfunctions" in the various incarnations of Cutie Honey, the character is much more than a sex object. However, this could not be further from the truth.
This has unfortunately given the series a false reputation of being porn or "hentai" (anime that features overly sexualized characters or plots) by some people. When the very first anime debuted in 1973, this was the first time nudity was depicted in a cartoon on TV in Japan. One of the things that has made Honey famous (or infamous, depending on whom you talk to) is that whenever she does transform into one of her alternate forms, her clothes will tear apart, leaving her naked for several seconds until new clothes to suit her next form materialize upon her. But her ultimate battle form is that of Cutie Honey, a busty red-headed heroine who wields a magical sword called the Silver Floret, and uses boomerangs that she can shoot from special compartments on the wrists of her costume as a secondary weapon. Some of her more popular transformation forms are "Hurricane Honey" (a motorcyclist), "Nurse Honey" (pretty obvious), or "Flash Honey" (a reporter with a special camera whose flash can blind her enemies). All she has to do is touch the magical choker that she wears around her neck, and yell out her battle cry of "Honey Flash!", and she will magically transform into a different female form who can handle any situation. But, whenever the forces of evil threatens either her or her friends, she can assume any female form to handle the situation. Most of the time, Honey takes the form of a bubbly and somewhat mischievous teenage girl named Honey Kisaragi. These days, Cutie Honey is often considered an early example of the "Magical Girl anime", a genre that has brought us such series as Sailor Moon or Card Captor Sakura. Over time, the character has become one of the more endearing creations of its creator, the prolific manga artist, Go Nagai, who is best known for series like Devilman, and the controversial manga, Harenchi Gakuen ("Shameless School"), which was the first comic in Japan to feature eroticism.
Aside from the manga where she originated, there have been two animated TV series, two made for video anime series, a live action movie, audio drama CDs, and a live action TV show. Since the character's debut back in 1973, Cutie Honey has enjoyed great success, and has appeared in various formats. You know Go Nagai is awesome, because he has a statue of Darth Vadar in his office.
