| the first episode does seem sort of rushed, but I still enjoying it so far! Reminds me of anime from the 2000's |
 |
| Ichigo's cute but goddamn she has no personality or depth outside of romance. All she ever talked about in this episode was boys and kissing. It's one thing to be interested in romance but a lot of female characters' entire existence revolves around their male love interest. |
| THIS IS SO GOOD!!! this is what a reboot should be, updated for new fans and changed enough that old fans can get something new out of it. i am SO excited to see what mint is up to; she was always my favorite mew mew and i am living for her getting a bigger role in the story!!! prince_noctis_ said: Ichigo's cute but goddamn she has no personality or depth outside of romance.

| Don't remember much from the original one, but iirc I loved it as a kid, gonna need to rewatch it one day. This one is pretty fun too so far. |

| Did Aoyama got cucked in the ending? Ichigo kiss the blonde guy in it, what an horrible way to spoil the story in the ending of the very 1st episode lol this can have 20+ years old but still that shouldn't matter here. |
Sorry if my english is bad (っ˘▽˘)っ~~~ Btw, cry about it. |
| this is so fucking shit omg |
| Just as I would expect, not too bad but not too good either 5/10 |
| NGL watching this made me want to rewatch the original, still happy many more people will experiment this, even if this feels like fanservice for us millennials that watched this bac in the day (tbh i preferred this one over sailor back in the day, and i still tink the same) |
| Being a fan is like having a penis. Its nice to be proud of it But don't pull it out in public and wave it in other's faces Kyurem Black. Kyurem White. Together they are Pretty Kyurem. |
| This episode was ok. I knew from the trailer that they changed for Mint to be the first of the squad. To be honest I liked Ichigo first better. It felt kinda rushed in some parts, especially the relationship between Ichigo (who seems to be confused about her feelings about love) and Aoyama. One funny thing I remember is how a few people act rude and push the characters aside to escape, as if there wasn't enough space, then the forced kiss happens, and after that more people conveniently appear. Can't interrupt such a romantic scene! It's dangerous when you try to tell a long story in a really short time, sacrificing development to get the job done. Although the animation and character designs are good, and the OP and ED follow the style of the original songs. I'm looking forward to see how the story continues. |
| Ichigo and Mint are schoolmates???!! Very fun episode, i like that it already has some twist that set it aside from the original giving it it's own vibe Couple of nitpicks: Wondering how/if Mint already being on the team from the beginning will effect her story, as her backstory in the original, her struggles and how that effected her life and made her who she is, is what made me really connect to her And Aoyama looked better in the original, he looks a bit too generic in the remake |
| What debating with DigiCat is like according to APolygons2 That's why I thought a discussion would be pointless. It doesn't feel like a debate. It feels like I'm playing chess and somehow lose to an uno reverse card after loosing all my monopoly money lol |
| Well, I hate to be that person, but I went into this anime with low expectations and came out devastated, and here's why. I watched the first half of the original as a kid and loved it. I watched the whole series a few years ago, and I realized how generic it was, with nonsensical plot points and plot holes. I have a low bar for reboots generally, but as far as TMM goes, there wasn't that much to mess up, rather there was a lot that could ended-up being fixed by a reboot. Boy, was I wrong. Here's what I had issues with. Minto is the first Mew and has to find all the other mews, which completely usurps Ichigo's original role in the story as the leader. This reboot's Minto is completely out of character compared to the original's. "The elite Minto Aizawa wouldn't be caught dead being an errand girl for two nobody scientists." So much for character development. Also a nitpick. That's not how the laser with the mew marks works. They get the marks from being shot by the laser, not being totally bathed in it. What did they get right? The animation, the narration, and voice acting. Unfortunately, I couldn't appreciate anything after the chimera showed up immediately after Ichigo got zapped. I suppose even this childhood favorite isn't safe from the rushing of the 12-episode crunch syndrome. It just feels like the original got chopped up and all the pieces were mixed up, and put back together out of order. Might not go forward with watching it. I'm just so bummed. |

Piromysl said: Ah, finally. A classical, vanilla Mahou Shoujo anime, which I have never actually watched. And no yuri shit in sight. One of the girls is more or less enamored with the local ore-onna, so I'm sorry. But I don't know about this version, in the original it never went beyond gay jokes. |
 |
| I feel so nostalgic!! |
| I'm truly impressed. They somehow managed to make Ichigo and Masaya's so-called "romance" even worse. What even is this pacing? First (proper) meeting, first "love", first date and a kiss in the first episode? As if their "romance" wasn't poorly written enough before. This writing could've actually worked if Masaya was just a decoy for the "true love interest" (In other words; we're supposed to believe that Masaya is the love interest, but Ichigo eventually ends up with someone else), but we all know that this isn't the case. It's just bad writing. I was hoping this new project could fix the problems I had with the manga (Like Ichigo's "love" for Masaya, Masaya as a character and their relationship), but my faith has now dropped to 0. I'm now convinced that everything that I liked in the manga will be ruined. But at least the anime looks pretty. Can't wait to see what they're going to ruin next :) |

| Hmm, I have mixed feelings. I feel like outside is all the same, but on the inside everything has changed. As it should because it's remake, but still, there's something odd. Mint already knowing everything about Mew Project is giving major Sailor Venus vibes. Also if I'm not wrong, originally it was more like an accident that girls got mew mew'd (lol) but not it was all planned and specific girls were chosen. I think they should've kept it in that Ichigo already knew and liked Aoyama. But I admired when she admitted that she had no idea what endangered animals were. Aoyama smiling after that just proves that he thought something along the lines "oh well, at least she knew I was into them and wanted to take me here, so she really must like me" etc. |
 |
| Am I the only one who loves her new red hair better than her pink her? Both are great and some are okay with the change, but again I actually prefer it. It suits her more. |
| uwu |
| Girls, if two weird guys ask you to get in a truck, don't do it. From what I understand from the anime, do they turn them into magical girls to force them to work as maids and fight giant anime? I must be wrong, but this is what it looked like at the end of this episode. We'll see what happens. The art turned out beautiful! It made me want to watch the anime before this remake. I love the style of old anime, it's very difficult for me to follow the stories, but little by little I'm getting used to it. |
 |
| This reboot is interesting, a lot of changes are made in this episode that makes it a different kind of Mew Mew than the original, from the costumes, Ichigo's (pitiful) voice, character designs, and the setup on how they became a Mew Mew. Don't need to list all of the notes here, just hope that this re-adaptation fare better than the original one. |
 |
| I am quite impressed with how old school they made this feel. It legit comes off like I am watching an older magical school girl anime, but updated lol. Not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing yet. I know I watched some of the original a long time ago, but I don't really remember a whole lot about it. I just went and took a look at the first episode of the original and I have to say, I think I prefer the new one thus far. I find Ichigo is cuter in this one. |

Rozemyne0 said: If they are messing with the story line, at least give us a Dren x Ichigo ending ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ |
| Did not like that they changed major story elements and not sure if I like Zakuro's transformation look just yet. Otherwise, it's okay so far. |
phantomfandom said: It's interesting that Aoyama's ideology integrate climate crisis and climate action, while the Mew mew group act as an actual climate justice. Even though I don't expect a shoujo story from 20 years ago to have a strong politically correct message (as compare to newer magical girl like Precure), but the first episode gets my hope up. The original manga was all about environmental things and the animal DNA that the girls were injected with are all endangered species. |
I watched first adaptation years ago, also read the manga, and while I'm not the biggest fan of the original, so far I kinda enjoy it! The artstyle is SO GOOD, shiny, cute, with pretty much no visible CG animation (which is a disaster in many newer series), it looks just great. Definitely way better than recent Sailor Moon remake lol. Making changes seems like a good idea, although not sure why Ichigo couldn't stay junior high student. The only thing I enjoyed more in the first anime so far, was the opening, but the new one is fine I guess. Probably won't think too much of the plot, but I think I'm gonna enjoy this more than original story. |

Akiinya said: I know I shouldn't be so Negative but I kinda don't like the changes... I love the original anime and manga so much, maybe too much so i keep comparing everything. Also Ryo looks SO ugly in this new artstyle, or is it just me? And I also don't like the new transformations... But I'll try to have a positive outlook, i just hope they don't ruin Kisshu's character, since he was my first ever anime crush... Same! I'm here for my babe. |
| What did they do with the color pallete they all washed out, not only that Ichigo is now bland red, the heck. |
| The most important things in life is the people that you care about |
| I really liked this first episode, as somebody new to the franchise. Without any knowledge of what the original is like, this was a pretty good first episode. |
 |
| I think the episode was a bit too fast (Ichigo developing a crush on Aoyama-kun in 3 seconds, everyone is there almost since the beginning, Minto is already fighting omg) but overall I really enjoyed it! I loved the old version A LOT and I'm so happy they're back (with pros and cons) Looking forward to new episodes! (Also love the OP theme) |
| Okay the transformation isn't bad. The tone is also fine. The accidental kiss was an overkill though. |
