Cutie Honey (Japanese: キューティーハニー, Hepburn: Kyūtī Hanī) is a 2004 Japanese superhero film directed and co-written by Hideaki Anno, adapted from the manga series Cutie Honey created by Go Nagai. The film stars the Japanese model Eriko Sato as the crimefighting android Cutie Honey and retells the story of her battle to defend humanity and avenge her father against Panther Claw.
Cutie Honey was followed two months later by an OVA series, Re: Cutie Honey, based on the film. In North America, the film was released direct-to-DVD on April 17, 2007, by Bandai Entertainment. Previously, the 1994 New Cutie Honey OVA was the only incarnation of Cutie Honey to have been commercially released in the United States.
