Cutie Honey Live Action Movie

Adapted from a classic 70s Japanese cartoon, the live action movie Cutie Honey stars Sato Eriko and is one of the most talked about films in Japan this summer. The director for this film is the famed director of Neon Genesis Evangelion, Anno Kideaki, and the lead CUTIE HONEY is played by the sexy Sato Eriko, where she will be COSPLAY! The comic Cutie Honey began in 1973 about a girl with special powers that allows her to have the unusually strong fighting powers. Kisaragi Honey usually lives in a secluded boarding school, but when she is fighting crime, she does her switch moves, screams "HONEY FLASH!", and turns into the sexy and sweet CUTIE HONEY. This film will have some of the most advanced CG technology to date, showing this switch in the most seamless fashion.

So begins the otaku reign of Eriko Sato as anime's most buxom babe-android crime fighter, CUTIE HONEY! In this live-action adaptation, Sato portrays Honey Kisaragi, mild mannered Tokyo office lady by day. But when evil is afoot, Honey loads up on musubis for that last jolt of energy, touches her fly choker and (in true Shazam! style), screams those magic words and transforms into Cutie Honey! Evil comes in the form of the fabulous, semi-cross-dressing "Panther Claw" Gang, who kidnaps Honey's eccentric scientist uncle. Sato was clearly hired for her "assets" that contribute to the full embodiment of her character, but she does bring a sense of innocence and comic timing that raises the film above the genre. Is it hentai? Hardly. But you do get a visually stunning action comedy that easily transfers the tropes of anime into the live-action realm, borrowing motifs from henshin heroes of yore. Oh yeah, and Cutie Honey's hot!
