Transformations:




Equally known as Cutey Honey and Cherry Miel in France, Cutie Honey could be the best known Nagai series in the world, rivaled only by Mazinger Z. Naturally, most people know about it thanks to the several different versions that it has had, more than by this series itself. After all, as far as I know, this anime was broadcast only in Japan and France. If you have more information about the original TV series, please, add it here.

I watched SHS's release. Great show by the way, but I'm quite disappointed with the ending.
