This weekend I watched an episode of an old anime series named Cutie Honey. It caught my eye because it was meant for all audiences even though it had some sexual images. I asked my Japanese host mother about this and she thinks there is nothing wrong with it. She called it ERO KAWAII which is cute erotica and is not meant to be pornographic, but cute. Another thing that was interesting to me is the big similarities between Cutie Honey and Sailor Moon. Sailor Moon used many of Cutie Honey's ideas. Cutie Honey is the pioneer I guess for the "magical female" character in Japanese anime.
