The official website for Cutie Honey Universe, the currently airing anime project based on Gō Nagai's Cutie Honey manga, has now revealed the corresponding voice cast members for all five of the other Honey characters. The full list of the characters now includes:

The staff had previously announced the five Honeys and announced the voice cast, but didn't specify which voice actress would play which Honey. The show stars Maaya Sakamoto as Honey Kisaragi/Cutie Honey.
The series premiered on April 8 in Japan, and Sentai Filmworks has licensed the series. HIDIVE is streaming the series as it airs. Sentai Filmworks describes the anime:
Based on the groundbreaking franchise that launched the “magical girl” genre and produced as part of the 50th anniversary commemorating the work of anime and manga wunderkind Gō Nagai (DEVILMAN crybaby), Cutie Honey Universe follows Honey Kisaragi, an amazingly humanlike and fashion conscious android with the unique ability to transform her body into a wide range of outrageous yet stylish disguises, each of which comes with its own dazzling super ability. After a run-in with a sinister secret criminal cabal organization, Panther Claw, the luscious and law-abiding Honey makes it her mission to bring them down.
Akitoshi Yokoyama (Photo Kano) is directing the anime at Production Reed. Natsuko Takahashi (Urahara, Yuyushiki) is handling the series composition and Syūichi Iseki is designing the characters and serving as chief animation director. The idol unit AŌP (Mr. Osomatsu, In Another World With My Smartphone) are performing the anime's opening theme song "Ai ga Nakucha Tatakaenai" (I Can't Fight Without Love). The male artist luz is performing the ending theme song "SISTER."
