Tokyo Mew Mew is currently on my favorites list. ^^ I just need to watch 21 more eps and I'm done. Oh, and my favorite Mew Mew is Zakuro because she reminds me of one of my favorite characters (Ceres from Ayashi no Ceres) and I like her personality. Lettuce is a close-second because she's shy, just like my RL-persona. =3

I watch it however I haven't seen the original version. Is the translation from Japanese to English really that horrible?!!

Oh, no. It's not that bad, Arcademan. ^^; The dub of TMM is actually pretty decent with the exception of few characters' voices. *cough*MasayaandKish*cough*

I don't think it's too bad of a dub.  The biggest thing that pisses me off most about it are the horrible VAs which makes it very unenjoyable to watch.   All the names and music were changed, any Japanese cultural references were edited out, all the characters are snobbier in the dub, but they left in all the romance (surprisingly), and most of the cuts aren't really anything major; they're just really pointless and stupid.  There have been some changes to the plot though, but I can't say what without giving away any spoilers.  However, for a more detailed comparision between TMM and MMP, I recommend checking out Mew Mew Power Uncensored: http://mmpu.smuncensored.com/

As for my opinion about TMM...I've only seen the first 24 episodes of TMM fansubbed (and I only saw the first episode of the dub), but so far I think the characters are kind of generic,  I thought the Blue Knight was a complete rip-off of Tuxedo Kamen, and there's been barely any plot twists so far, but despite these flaws, I like it.  TMM has very good animation and catchy music (My Sweetheart is a really cute opening theme song), I like what little originality the characters' personalities have, the show is really cute and funny, I like the villians a lot (especially Quiche), and it's just a really fun and addicting show.  It's not one of my all-time fav anime series, but it's still interesting enough for me to sit down and watch it.  So far my fav character is Lettuce because I think it's cute how she's shy like that, and she's very sweet even to people who are unkind to her, and I like her Lettuce Castanets attack.  My least fav character has to be Masaya.  There's just something about him that really annoys me.  Ichigo deserves far better than him!  The only thing I like about Masaya is that he's voiced by Ogata Megumi-san, but that's just my opinion.  Anyway, I still have to watch the rest of TMM, but I guess I like what I've seen of it so far.

why?
Title: Re: Tokyo Mew Mew
Post by: Cardcaptor Takato on April 27 2005, 01:22 pm
Episode 12 of MMP is still episode 12; they just aired it before episode one.  Think of it as like the pilot episode.  This isn't the first time this has been done.  Fox Kids aired English episode 41 of Sailor Moon as its premiere episode when the show first came to the U.S., then the show switched over to syndication and started from episode one.  4Kids also did this with Pokemon.  Back when Pokemon premiered on syndication before it moved to the Kid's WB, 4Kids showed episode 13 (or something like that; the episode with the St. Anne) before episode one, but then it started over from the beginning and that episode was re-inserted back into its proper episode order.  So, episode 12 of MMP is still episode 12; they just aired it before episode one as the premiere.

Speaking of Ep 12, I heard from MMA (Mew Mew Alliance) boards that it will be skipped after Ep 11 airs and just go on to Ep 13. I don't know how the admin got the news, though. Click (http://mewmewalliance.maehara.co.uk/content/view/66/2/)

The storyline is ok, but it does end in a preculiar way... though there is supposed to be a second series, Tokyo mew Mew A la mode.

any one know any sites for videos? except torrent?

Post by: Espo on April 30 2005, 10:33 pm
*shakes head* Nope, sorry, the official site no longer exsists. In ways, it is kind of 'dead' animanga, since there are few sites for it.
Title: Re: Tokyo Mew Mew
Post by: Syaokura on May 01 2005, 09:42 am
Yeah. Tokyo Mew Mew A La Mode is a sequel to the series in which Ichigo isn't the main character. Instead, a girl named Berry takes her place. Oh, and that sequel is manga-only.

As for where you can look for episodes, you can go to Neko-Tokyo, which is a great TMM shrine. ^_^ http://ichigo-parfait.net/neko/ There was another site which had eps (WAV file, of course) up to 31 subtitled with Episode 52 being raw-only.  Unfortunately, that site got rid of the eps. *sighs* All I need in eps 32-52 and I'm finished with TMM!

I dunno why they have Berry as the main character... hmm....

You know when they did  a playstation game they added another character called Ringo?
Title: Re: Tokyo Mew Mew
Post by: Syaokura on May 04 2005, 08:05 am
Not to mention that Berry has two animal DNAs of a rabbit and a cat, instead of one like the original Mew Mews. Ah, yes. The video game with Ringo. xD It was on Playstation only, I believe.

Yeah, I heard about it in one of the side things in the manga book... it said they added another alien as well, along with Ringo ^__^ though I don't know much about her... cept her weapon was an apple stick.. don't know her animals... ^__^
