Go Nagai released his comment on the new anime as below:

"I am really happy that Cutie Honey is getting a new anime following my other representative works,

Devil Man and Mazinger Z. I think it will conclude the anime project for the 50th anniversary of my works.

My heroine, who started her activities in a weekly manga magazine and a TV anime at the same time,

has been active in anime, manga, and films over and over again. Since the concept for this new anime

is 'Kakko Kawaii Onnanoko (Cool and Cute Girl),' I am already looking forward to seeing how Honey

Kisaragi will revive in modern times and show what kind of her 'cool and cute' action."
