Love the comic, but the anime strays away in a good way

what is it about when did it star............ i was just looking and saw it the title kinda funny...........

Lana
Duplicate threads aren't allowed because they clutter the forum. If there's already a thread then use that, you don't need special thread for the premiere episode.

Anyway, I didn't see it, and I don't plan on watching it. I'll stick with my manga and subtitled episodes, thanks.

Romance, adventure, a great and varied cast of characters, humor, and some really cute cat ears!!! What's not to love? I'm 15, and my friends think I"m a dork cuz I like it.

Mew Mew is really good the comics r better

AnnaSohma
They should have kept the name Tokyo Mew Mew instead of Mew Mew Power. Although it's like animal forms of Sailor Moon or something like that...it's cool.

AnnaSohma
I haven't actually read the Mangas yet, but I'd like to. I was gonna start on my collection of that series next.

Ichigo, Mint, Lettuce, Pudding, and Zakuro ARE their Japanese names, though. Ichigo is Japanese for strawberry. Retasu, Purin, and Minto are how Lettuce, Pudding, and Mint are written in Japanese. Just like Berry's name written out in Japanese is Berii.

Ive actually been meaning to read the mangas lately i just never get around to it.I probably should though im a sucker for catgirls

btw Dubbing ESPECIAllY mutilation dubbing by 4kids is ALWAYS bad.Look at what they have done to One Piece Yugioh and back farther to Card Captor Sakura.Its seriously unforgiveable

Lana
mewmew4 -- please do not multi-post like that, it's very annoying.

And no, I'm not Japanese. I just cannot stand how anime gets destroyed when it's dubbed. Tokyo Mew Mew was ruined by 4Kids.

TastyLumpia
It's so weird, watching it in Japanese (with subtitles, of course) then watching "Mew Mew Power." The entire script is full of corny jokes, and nothing can beat "Nya!", certainly not all those cat puns.

- Horrible voice actors
- Horrible (and way too much) editing
- They changed all the character's names, which considering all the Mew Mew's names (except Ichigo and Zakuro) were already pronounced in English, REALLY was stupid.

4kids does this to EVERY anime they get their hands on. They edit it to hell, dumb it down for small children (never mind that most anime they dub IS for kids already), market the hell out of it, and refuse to release uncut, subtitled DVDs.

MerMorgan02
OK... were can u watch Tokyo Mew Mew? or is it not aired in the US?

Lana
Not aired in the US, and since it's been licensed by 4kids, you'll never be able to see the original Tokyo Mew Mew unless somewhere down the road someone else gets their hands on the rights (like what happened with Sailormoon). I've seen it by downloading episodes or getting fansubbed VHS's. Plus I've read the Japanese version of the manga in Nakayoshi magazine.

Considering the fact that they completely changed the main storyline of Tokyo Mew Mew, I'd say that they're pretty much like two different characters.

Dubbed means they replace the dialogue (dub it) in another language, in the case of anime it generally means they replace the Japanese dialogue with English.

And how could I not like Mew Mew Power? Easy. I've seen Tokyo Mew Mew and cannot believe how utterly destroyed it was when edited and dubbed.

Their dubbed names....cry they're terrible.

anime_mew
The names are not impotant i mean..........comn....there just names,and, just give mew mew power another chance cause in a while that show grows on you confused You can also like both and then have tokyo mew mew as your favorite

Lana
....do you know anything about the original Tokyo Mew Mew? I don't WANT something as horrid as MMP to grow on me, I don't want to like it. They completely changed the entire show. They changed the whole main storyline!

Yeah, I'm a bit of an anime elitist, I admit it. But I at least will give a dubbed anime a chance. MMP had it's chance, and 4kids failed miserably.

deep down inside corina is still the same Minto you know and love.Besides,the english vesion is more..............English ,there the same shows in a different .....um................well you know.DANCE Happy Dance and kikki is a cute name

It doesn't fit her character. They completely changed their ages, they changed the main storyline of the whole show, they cut tons of scenes...

Uhh Lana posted a link to a site that meticulously goes over ALL the retarded useless changes made to the series and massive removeal of storyline that Tokyo Mew Mew has suffered

4Kids has a history of doing this to animes look at what they did to One Piece Yugioh and Card Captor Sakura.Entiere storylines story ARCS motivations and character history is routinely removed so 4Kids can have somethign suitable for ridalin addict 4 year olds with overprotective mothers that think seeing the sun-set is dangerous and should be banned

Originally posted by anime_mew

You obviously DO care you cant seem to stop talking about it.Look what your talking about your defending a 3rd hand dub of a Japanese series which had its central plotline entierly removed most of the chaarcter motivations changed and the names Americanized into nothing close to the original because the company thinks your TOO STUPID for a name like Ichigo heck even a few puns like Lettuce or the IDEA that its in Tokyo

Next the human race has a built in survival instinct.However in these modern times it desont see much use and has been adapted to whats most important to us now entertainment.On even the most simplistic level there are certain things any idiot can look at tell wont be pleasent.In ancient times it was things like touching fire or falling off cliffs but in modern times its things like 4Kids dubs or anything using the term "Xtreme".

If you cant look at 4Kids dubs of things like Yugioh or Tokyo Mew Mew and cant feel that "Something" seems off about it than your probably lacking in some mental capacity that the rest of humanity has

anime_mew
OK,so what you are saying is that companies think we are to stupid to call people food....................OK.its not even real people ,its something drawn by some person.and cant you hear the words 4KIDS,its for kids not for 13,14 and 15 year old. shifty I rest my case.

4Kids makes stuff more appropriate for kids under 10.I can only assume your one of them so it seems to me that your perfect for 4kids work.Maybe when you measure age in double digits you might wanna branch out into something a little more intelligent like the removed story about the dying enviroment in Tokyo Mew Mew and maybe you will figure out that Lettuce was mostly green Pudding was a cream color etc and just like DBZ the names are a joke

Lana
The original storyline of Tokyo Mew Mew was about environmental destruction. That whole storyline was completely discarded.

No, I'm not simply sticking up for TMM because I saw it first. In most cases of anime I've seen the dub first and then the original Japanese version, and it EVERY case I've wound up liking the Japanese version better. Why? Because the original Japanese version is how it's supposed to be viewed.

TMM WAS intended for kids under the age of 10. The manga was published in Nakayoshi magazine, which is made for girls ages 13 and under.

Please get your facts straight.

anime_mew
If its for girls under the age of 10 what are you doing watching it,unless you are 10,that would be ok.and nobody was talking about the manga.The only reson I watch the show is because I have 4 sister who likes it and has never heard of TMM.

MerMorgan02
allright! all of u calm down!

look, this is stupid. I'm not going to critisize TMM, Lana. Because u like the Japanese version, that's just good for u. I honestly don't CARE if u hate MMP, that's either ur victory, or ur problem.

As far as I have heard the dubbed MMP, vs. the original MMP are practically 2 completely different shows. whoop-dee-doo. We can solve this, we're smarter than this! y r we arguing over such a subjective subject? anime_mew and I, plus NE1 else who likes the dubbed show who's not here, like the dubbed version just the way it is.

Lana, look, srry. u can enjoy TMM, and we can enjoy MMP. Until the day I c the non-dubbed version, and do some serious comparing, I'm not suited to be the judge for myself, let alone anyone else. OK?


I just feel like we're just chacing our tails here. disgust

:gag: The dubbed names are so lame. I just can't see Ichigo as a "Zoey."

I actually saw a few episodes of "Mew Mew Power" first, and when I did a search on the show, I found out about Tokyo Mew Mew, and how much 4kids had changed it. So I bought a fansub on eBay, and am now the proud owner of episodes 1 thru 40 something.

Tokyo Mew Mew was also aimed at youngsters in Japan, not just teens. But a lot of older people watch it because it's just so cute!

From what I understand, 4Kids not only changed names and voices, but also ages. They made all the girls a bit older, and Akasaka and Shirogane (Wesley and Elliot) younger.

They edited the images, throwing together random clips in place of Ichigo's transformation, flipping a picture of a street backwards so the cars would be driving on the right side instead of the left, and edited crosses out of a church. They made cuts... because of time limitations, I suppose, but I don't see why they can't just have the commercial break in the middle of the show.

Mew Mew Power totally screws up the creator's original intentions with the show, not only with the message of environmentalism, but also with the artwork and animation.

Not to mention the annoying voices.

In closing, Zakuro could totally kick Renee's ass.

Yeah, it was made for kids and I'm 19 and I like it. So what? TMM is an adorable anime. It's got a good story, the characters rock, the art is well-done, and I love the costumes (yeah, I'm a cosplayer).

And being as the anime was based on the manga, the manga is very relevant here.

Like I said, I'm an elitist and a purist when it comes to anime. I know this, I admit this, and I know that not everyone else is. But if you're going to say shit, please at least do a little research and get your facts straight. Check out the link I posted a few pages back. Or download an episode of TMM or get a fansub tape. Then make the comparisons yourself.

Yep, they changed all their ages....I think they made all the Mews 16 or something around that age....which basically aged Pudding by 6 years....

And I really don't see why they felt the need to change the whole storyline. I mean, you'd think parents would like their kids watching a show where the main message was enviromentalism! Nor do I see the point of all the cuts....there are so many vital things that were cut for no reason. The transformations were ruined...and the cross thing is just stupid. They changed Zakuro's weapon because of that. Everytime something with kana or kanji was shown they removed the symbols....
