* AwesomeAnachronisticApparel: Honey's default civilian outfit was fashionable when the manga and anime first appeared in the early 70s: a form-fitting blue and white one-piece dress with miniskirt length and a very wide collar with a plunging neckline. However, it is definitely ''out'' of fashion by the late 70s, even though all later series continue to use it. Honey makes it look good in any case.

''Cutey Honey'' has one of the strangest target histories around. It was originally conceived as a simultaneous manga and anime medium for a {{Shojo}} demographic, focused on romance and lacking any nudity or excessive violence; in fact, Honey herself owed her transformations to a smart way to sell ''Franchise/{{Barbie}}''-inspired changing dolls merchandising. However, due to a timeslot change, the unproduced anime ended up slated to debut in a {{Shonen}} hour show of all things, which led to Nagai and company to realize they had to change the tone to make it more appealing to a male audience. Thus, they added more action and much more nudity, especially but not limited to Honey's transformation sequences, and so the tone for ''Cutey Honey'' was set. The resultant anime ended up getting cancelled over its then-racy content, but ironically and to Nagai's surprise, it was just tame and pretty enough to [[PeripheryDemographic attract an unexpected number]] of younger female fans as it had been once planned.

* AdaptationalAttractiveness:
** Miharu and Alphonne, though it varies on how much their appearances have changed. Miharu looks much less haggered and haggish than she did in the original, while Alphonne's design is a bit softer and she no longer has a mustache.
** Inverted with Sister Jill. She is more nightmarish than in the original anime and manga. Her skin is chalk white and she more frequently sports a SlasherSmile.
* AdaptationSpeciesChange: Honey is now a human instead of an android. [[spoiler:Though she's ''still'' an artificial human.]]
* ArtificialHuman: [[spoiler:Both Honey and Seira are robotic human beings]]
* BabiesEverAfter: [[spoiler:Honey and Seiji have a toddler-aged daughter named after Seira in the final episode]]
* BitchInSheepsClothing: Electric Panther.
* DanceBattler: One of Honey's many forms is Ballerina Honey, who is, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin well...]]
* DarkMagicalGirl: Seira/Misty Honey is a cold-looking and quite reserved young woman with blue hair and a purple outfit, who opposes Honey/Cutey Honey's plans.
* DeadGuyJunior: [[spoiler:Honey names her daughter after Seira.]]
* DrivenByEnvy: Seira is enraged by Honey having anything she does not, be it affection, popularity or strength.
* EarthShatteringKaboom: Honey fears losing control of her powers and has a nightmare ending in this.
* EvilAllAlong: [[spoiler:Twilight Prince or rather Prince Zera is a member of Panther Claw and was using Honey as a means to usurp Sister Jill.]]
* EvolvingCredits: The opening sequence has a couple sections that change according to the story arcs [[spoiler:and Honey's power-ups]].
* FlowerMotifs: Aside from Sister Jill and her infamous roses, the image of a freesia is never far from Honey. In fact, each of her personas is associated with a different colored one. In hanakotoba, a freesia means "innocence", the trait Honey is best known for.
* FriendOrFoe: In the second episode, one of the two Panther Claw generals spots what she thinks is Honey and opens fire on her- but it's soon revealed that she shot and killed the other general.
* FrillyUpgrade: [[spoiler:When Seira, badly wounded from the battle with her clone created by her hatred, dies and gives Honey the power to become Hyper Honey.]]
* GratuitousEnglish: How Electric Panther speaks. OH NO! EMERGENCY!
* TheHeartless: The second arc's enemies are spawned from Seira's hatred for Honey.
* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:Seira, Professor Kisaragi ([[DoomedByCanon as usual]]), and the Twilight Prince/Prince Zera. Sister Jill winds up getting it multiple times]].
* LighterAndSofter: Unlike its predecessors, this incarnation of the series was aimed at a younger female demographic and less fanservicey (though considering Honey and Misty's outfit, not ''that'' hyper much).
* MagicSkirt: Definitely [[PantyShot not]] in any other version.
* MakeUpIsEvil: Misty Honey has light blue eyeshadow, contrasting Cutie Honey's natural palette.
* MamaBear: Honey in episode 39. Do not hurt her daughter if you know what's good for you.
* MysteriousProtector: Twilight Prince, who might as well be an {{Expy}} of [[Franchise/SailorMoon Tuxedo Mask]].
* OfficialCouple: ''Flash'' is the only adaptation where [[spoiler:Honey and Seiji become an official couple. It's also implied that they slept together before the final battle.]]
* ReflectionlessUselessEyes: Honey, when blinded by scales of a butterfly monster.
* RemakeCameo: Eiko Masuyama (the original voice of Honey) makes a guest appearance as Bera.
* RomanticFalseLead: Honey's beloved Twilight Prince is actually [[spoiler:Prince Zera of Panther Claw. Fittingly, the episode where Honey's lingering feelings for him die is the same one where Seiji, her actual love interest, learns her secret identity.]]
* SparedByTheAdaptation: In most versions of the series, the plot is kicked off by the murder of Dr. Kisaragi, and Honey fights Panther Claw to avenge him. Here the plot is kicked off by the ''kidnapping'' of Dr. Kisaragi, and Honey fights Panther Claw to rescue him.[[spoiler:This gets [[SubvertedTrope subverted]], however, since he ''still'' dies by the end of the series.]]
* SuperForm: [[spoiler:Unique to this version is a new form for Honey called Hyper Honey. Her outfit goes from red and black to white and red and she becomes stronger with a new finishing move called the "Honey Virginal Invitation".]]
* TamerAndChaster: This series downplays the {{Fanservice}} and sexual content considerably due to aiming at a younger audience, though they're not completely absent.
* TaremeEyes / TsurimeEyes: Honey Kisaragi's eyes are the typical round {{Shoujo}}-like style, while most of her transformations (including Cutey Honey) have sharper eyes.
* VaporWear / GoingCommando: Seira goes to the beach with an unbuttoned shirt instead of a bikini top. It's also implied in episode 21 that she wears nothing under her street clothes.
* YouDontLookLikeYou: Seiji loses his usual very 70s look of HotbloodedSideburns, a golf cap and turtleneck to become a more traditional {{Bishonen}}. In the process, he looks like a completely different character.
* ZorroMark: The Honey Lightning Flare move carves a large script "F" in Honey's target before they explode.
