Tokyo Mew Mew

Okay so hear me out. I may be a little biased because I absolutely cannot STAND anime. But this, this is the worst. First. Let's get the obvious out of the way, the English version absolutely sucks. Some lines of it are absolutely brain dead. Second. Catgirls. Just Catgirls. Why do these exist and WHY DO PEOPLE CALL THEM HOT???? Third. The plot makes absolutely no sense at all, Ichigo Momomiya (weird name btw), a girl who transforms into Mew Ichigo with the power of the Iriomote leopard cat to save Earth from parasitic Chimera Anima aliens. See, it doesn't make sense. Fourth. It's anime. And last of all, the intro sucks. Absolutely sucks.

Okay most of this was satire. I still don't like the show but this is a joke.

This is for Mew mew power, the 4kids version of Tokyo mew mew.

For those of you who were reading the previous review, that was done in my family van with a wireless network. that was low-quality reviewing. here's a solemn truth.

Tokyo mew mew, is really good, despite the confusing names and a storyline i can't remember since last time i saw this. folks, what you're about to read is better than before.

But then comes 4kids, the people that have to dub it...just so it's safe. but when 4kids changes something, it gets worse, and just plain sucks. but it has to be dubbed to be '4kids' or 'for kids'. I guess i can't degrade 4kids anymore.

Mew mew power is based on 16 year old zoey, a girl with a special power she doesn't know about until a weird alien, a prediscite, attacks the place she and her date, Mark, are at. then a weird guy named Elliot gives her a weird pendant which turns her into a mew mew. so begins the life of the Tokyo mew mew.

Look, the way 4kids dubs things, it's always a fair equivalent to Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde for the NES. it just sucks. seriously. look, it's only my opinion, i've seen a couple scenes from the Tokyo mew mew version (Which also sports a 'sweet' theme song sung by Rika Komatsu, 4kids just grabs the closest singer off the street and makes a cheap melody from a keyboard and calls it their theme song) and i think it's way better.

if you're interested, you'll be able to catch the 4kids dub on YTV at 7:30 Sunday mornings. Check your local listings.

4/10 - I could go without it.

I Rather Watch The Japanese Version Of Tokyo Mew Mew Instead Of The English Dub. Why? Because 4K! DS Screwed My Favorite Magical Girl Anime Series Up With Terrible Edits Like Changing Japanese Names To Be More American, Removing Japanese Words, Removing Religious References, Toning Down Violence, Changing Japanese Food To American Food, And Many Other Things. Good Thing The English Dub Only Lasted 26 Episodes!

Call me weird but I can't help but like this show. And you have to admit, it's one of the better Edited Versions From 4KIDS. It has a rather decent voice cast, and theme. The music isn't half bad either. I guess my gripes with it, is I think they over do it with comedy. I think they kind of stretch the humor too much. Some of it is funny though. Like when Corina says: "You Want to break some more China?" b/c Ichigo/"Zoey" broke all those dishes. And there is that cute catch phrase "Mew Mew style, Mew Mew grace, Mew Mew Power in your face." And the costume design is fantastic. The low-cut from the Manga is gone, but I think that's in both versions, judging by looking up picks. However the costume design is fantastic. And I haven't people I've heard already. Well, I heard Rachel Lillis (Pokemon) in one Episode, but she was an extra guest star. So over all this series is good. One of the more better. At least didn't give Yugi's voice (Dan Green) to "Mark" as he is called. Another gripe is, I just wish they didn't pick the name Zoey for Ichigo. I think the names are suitable. I find the Manga/Anime names, to be a tad bit ridiculous. (Except for Ichigo) Lettuce, Pudding, Mint, are these girls or are they food? Even though Ichigo's name does mean "strawberry" That doesn't bug me. They don't really try to hide Japanese culture too much. They haven't changed Kendo, or anything to that sort. So overall, this is a fairly good Editation. As opposed to most 4Kids Editations.

It is very heartwarming and suspenseful. It has a slice-of-life vibe to it while still sticking to the main plot build up. I wouldn't necessarily watch it now but when i was younger it was totally my kind of show. Each of the characters stand out in their own way and have their own struggles (Mint with her brother, pudding with her mother, lettuce with toxic friends etc.) I cant say anything for the dub (mew mew power) but i assume its basically the same. It is free to watch on youtube.
