Let's take a look at Cutie Honey episode 15: “Looking Back with Tears of Rage.”
Screenwriter: Susumu Takaku
Art Director: Eiji Ito
Animation Director: Joji Kikuchi
Director: Osamu Kasai
There is a fair amount of political satire in this episode, specifically when Miharu makes a speech to the masses regarding inflation and when Danbei and the others come to help Honey. The latter of which appears to make light of the Anpo Protests, which were against the renewal of the revised U.S.- Japan Security Treaty.
Thanks to Skaro Hunting Society for this tidbit!
Despite being a relatively important episode, there are a few mistakes present in the script.
Alphonne is shown to have PTSD over the burning of St. Chapel Academy. This doesn’t make sense because she wasn’t present for the school's fall. At the end of the previous episode we see Alphonne returning to the school grounds, completely oblivious to the destruction that occurred the night before.
Miharu also has a traumatic flashback over the school’s burning and starts yelling “the students are in danger!” However, the only students at the school during the fire were Honey and Natsuko. Miharu of all people should know this, considering she was the reason they were the only two students on campus at the time.
While not as glaring as the aforementioned mistakes, Honey somehow knows Snake Panther’s name. Jill also refers to Zora as "Sister Zora" in this episode only.
The poor newspaper employee who falls victim to Snake Panther is named Kawamura, a reference to one of the animators who worked on this episode: Nobumichi Kawamura.
While Toshio Katsuta agreed to Go Nagai’s idea of featuring Honey nude during her transformation, he did urge the staff not to draw her with nipples and to avoid showing her “important parts” or any excessive up skirt shots. While the staff usually compiled, there are a few instances of rebellion. This episode is the first of three to depict Honey with nipples.
Despite his real name appearing in the credits for key animation, Joji Kikuchi (菊池城二) is given the alias Jonichi Kikui (菊井城一) for his role as animation director.
Tune in next week for "From the Casino with Love."

MEJIRO HOUSE-Kiyotoshi Mori, Natsuko Kawamura
Toshima, Tokyo, Japan.
Η επιλογή της κατοικίας αυτής έγινε με βάση αρχικά της παρόμοιας κάτοψης. Η διαμόρφωση του εσωτερικού χώρου ( επικοινωνία των ορόφων μέσω εσωτερικών ανοιγμάτων ) ηταν ακόμη ενας λόγος. Τα έντονα ανοίγματα των παραθύρων προσδίδουν ενα αίσθημα ελευθερίας όπως προσπαθήσαμε κι εμείς να διαμορφώσουμε το χώρο μας μ αυτο το τροπο( μεγάλα γωνιακά παράθυρα,μπαλκονόπορτες)
