Talk:New Cutie Honey

Cutie Honey (character)
Since there are plenty characters named "Honey" (see Honey (disambiguation)), an article on Honey should be named either Cutie Honey (character) or Honey Kisaragi. In any case, since such article doesn't exist, there is no point in linking to it for "further information".--Nohansen (talk) 19:22, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Daiko: great-granddaughter
As I removed from the article:


 * According to the Cutie Honey Encyclopedia, she is Seiji Hayami's great-granddaughter.

I'm fairly certain 69.92.216.226 meant Keibunsha's 1999 "Encyclopedia Cutie Honey" (ISBN 9784766932362), but without a page number and/or quote—ideally both—I can't tell if it's from there or just some semi-plausible quote pulled from the vast forest of Cutie Honey fansites. --an odd name 22:08, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

It's stated on page 090 of the Cutie Honey Encyclopedia. I believe the kanji written is actually "grandchild" but "great grandchild/daughter" would be a better translation. I can provide a scan if needed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Retrosofa (talk • contribs) 05:56, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Sounds good, and I've added it. In this case, a scan would help me get the relevant Japanese text, so I can quote it and (try to) translate it to remove any sourcing doubts.  No rush though. :) --an odd name 08:39, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

I couldn't get a clear scan, but the sentence is "大子は早見青児の孫にあたる". —Preceding unsigned comment added by Retrosofa (talk • contribs) 17:23, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Cool. [[Image:Smiley.svg|20px]] Quote added. --an odd name 17:56, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

"Anecdotes on the making of 'The New Cutey Honey' from Mr. Go Nagai"
Some notes on the added article: I'll start adding stuff from it soon. --an odd name 20:47, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
 * It's a one-page interview.
 * Talks about how Batman inspired Nagai to create a series with dark surroundings, how finance forced the old TV series to reuse cels, why the males are weaker, etc.
 * It sort-of touches on the abrupt cancellation: Graham says "I hope [Toei Video] will make enough profit to keep making more Honey-chan OVAs in the future."
 * After the interview, there are some quick notes on the first soundtrack: bass and vocals were by Sally Kubota and Hitomi, respectively. While searching "Sally Kubota" on Google, I stumbled on this non-free picture and (through a website shown on another pic from that account) found it was from a very recent les 5-4-3-2-1 15-year reunion concert.
 * No series sales data.

Laserdisc covers
Online store "Recobanchou" (or "Urabanchou") shows the Laserdisc covers, watermarked and in fairly-high resolution, for all eight Stages and the "Flash.1" special; they are linked in these search results. Laserdisc ID numbers are given, but no release dates. I doubt they're reliable, but here's their company info anyway. --an odd name 02:07, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

Possible sources of release dates, sales data?
Volumes 29 and 31 of "Toei LaserDisc New Disc Press" appear to promote the first episodes of the series.

Both links are to Yahoo! Japan Auctions, and the first one showed scans of the work but no longer. (I have its pictures, though, which say "3/21 ON SALE" among other things.) Can't archive the second since WebCite is down atm; no Wayback for either. I saw those links back in March 2008. It's sad how easily links can rot. --an odd name 09:40, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Mandarake mentions the Perfect Guides
The Japanese store Mandarake posted this less than a month ago:
 * "2Fムックコーナー 「新キューティーハニー パーフェクトガイドvol.1&2」入荷!不朽の名作!" (translated: 2F Mook Corner "New Cutie Honey Perfect Guide vol.1 & 2" available! Timeless masterpiece!)

I see the volumes' front covers, a bit of explanation, and that they were to sell it in the second floor of...somewhere. I see nothing really new; maybe someone fluent can. :) --an odd name 02:31, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

New Genres Added
Due to the lack of genres on this page, this videos has horror, comedy and ecchi. It needs to have 3 more genres in this page ~D3323 Thursday, April 4, 2013 9:09. — Preceding unsigned comment added by D3323 (talk • contribs) 04:10, 5 April 2013 (UTC)
 * I cannot say I disagree, go for it. Yapool Seijin (talk) 15:29, 5 April 2013 (UTC)
