In other forums, you may find some fans who are angry and jumped the gun by saying that this episode is terrible, hideous, plain bad or a shame to the franchise. Some even insta-dropped the show just because Universe doesn't use the original & iconic OP song. Those are total exaggeration and overreaction IMO. And I'm speaking as someone who is pretty familiar with the franchise and I like Shin Cutey Honey the most which is really different from Universe but you won't see me despising this episode. It has some great potential and I like to see where it goes from here.
That BDSM student-punishment though. Also, lesbian teachers having mad sex in a bush, LOOOOL. Cutie Honey never disappoints me in terms of its strangeness and madness in every iteration   . |
anime fans are very conservative, I wonder how it will be 50 years from now when the number of foreigners in Japan is absurdly big and things like changing the gender of characters are incorporated into anime.
another thing, it looks like Nat-chan will be Honey's partner, not Hayama.
