The original show, in 1973, set the stage for all the action-oriented magic girls to follow. If there hadn't been a _Cutey Honey_, there probably would never have been a _Bishoujo Senshi Sailormoon_.
But there was a _Bishoujo Senshi Sailormoon_, and when it ended, something had to fill that time slot. So they got together some of the same people who had made Sailor Moon such a success, and did a brand new Cutey Honey series. This new CH series takes a lot of things from the Sailor Moon mythos, including a mysterious handsome guy with a flower! So: _Cutey Honey_ (1973) sets the stage, leading eventually to _Bishoujo Senshi Sailormoon_ - Sailor Moon makes mahou shoujo hugely popular - the new series _Cutey Honey Flash_ emulates Sailor Moon in many ways.
