This year, Go Nagai's magical super heroine turned 50 years
old! So what better time to have an episode in her honor? And
joining me to talk all about her is No. 1 English-speaking
Cutie Honey Fan (who has worked on many
official American Cutie Honey releases!),
Salvatore (aka @retrosofa)! We discuss not only the history of
the franchise, but how even though Honey is a pulpy, sexy, and
sometimes goofy Magical Girl originally created for boys, she
influenced the Magical Girl genre in all sorts of ways we're
still seeing today! Also in this episode: the decades-long
argument of if Honey even counts as a magical girl, the appeal
of giant Go Nagai monster women, and answering all your
questions in this extra-long episode!
