Series Title: CUTEY HONEY
Episode 6: THE EVIL OF REVENGE
Premise: A female guardian fights for justice by transforming from one bad-ass fighter into another to better fit whatever scenario she is facing.
ThePete's Review: This was yet another fun/imaginative episode with a good, but not gratuitous amount of nudity to satisfy the heterosexual men and lesbians in the audience. As Chokkei befriends the bomb expert from last episode, a strange dark force is overtaking the city. What is this strange force? You'll have to watch the ep for yourself or read on for spoilers. I can tell you that there is a lot of action, so much so that Honey isn't able to transform as much as she normally does, but there is other nudity to make up for it. Lots of samurai/sword fighting action in this episode. Don't worry, it's explained pretty nicely.
The short of it is, this is another fun episode. Strangely, they keep tying in a character that may or may not be real at this point. I just hope there is closure regarding this character. There are only two episodes left, so I'm concerned...
As usual, I continue to recommend this series to anyone who enjoys what amounts to titillating anime comedies. I am discovering that I am a sucker for them, or at least for this one.
Anyway, read on for spoilers!
SPOILERS: The episode opens with Chokkei and the bomb expert from last episode standing on the shore of a river that runs through the city. She doesn't understand why Honey is being so nice since she was the enemy so recently. Chokkei encourages her to relax about things and realize that Honey is just that kind of person. The bomb expert then accuses him of having the hots for Honey (who wouldn't have the hots for her??) and gives him a good amount of razzing about it.
Meanwhile, both of Chokkei's parents and Honey & Grandpa are spying on Chokkei because they think he's got the hots for the bomb expert. This kind of spying is a great replacement for all of the lascivious ogling that Grandpa and Chokkei's dad used to do of Honey in previous episodes. Anyway, chaos ensues when Chokkei's mom falls over the side of the hill leading up from the river. Chokkei's dad, Honey and Grandpa jump in to help, but somehow, Chokkei is the one who ends up in the river. Just then, a dark shadow (literally) passes over the city. Quite suddenly, Chokkei and the bomb expert find themselves in what quickly appears to be feudal Japan. Honey, Grandpa and Chokkei's parents are nowhere to be found. They have also found themselves in feudal Japan, but are separated in pairs.
Chokkei and the bomb expert stumble (literally) across what appears to be a dead woman in a kimono. After a moment, they realize that she's not a dead woman, but a robot mannequin. After some poking and prodding of robot breasts, the bomb expert finds that the robot has the letters "SP" on her right boob.
Meanwhile, Honey and Grandpa find a group of robots, frozen, unmoving, all dressed in period costume. Quickly, they are confronted by a woman who explains that she runs things around here and that the robots are all actors in her show and that only she says when the show is over. Suddenly, the females in period costume pull out swords and go after Honey and Grandpa. A huge, long sequence of action ensues featuring a few quick transformations by Honey. Eventually, the six characters meet up again during the fighting, but Honey gets separated and finds her way to the machinery that makes this "show" work. The woman who runs the place tries to back Honey into the wooden gears of the machinery, but Honey survives and manages to best her opponent. This time 'round, Honey's enemy is definitely dead, although it turns out she's a robot, too.
It turns out the whole area they were in, along with all of the robots (which stopped functioning once their leader died) were from an old amusement park called "Samurai Park." This was the "SP" on the first robot's boob. Honey theorizes that the entire park came back to life for revenge against a world that had forgotten about it.
Deep, man.... deep...
