Pudding deserves better. The kid just wants to have fun but nope, as usual, trouble comes up. 

Still, I find it amusing how she was able to get out of being captured and still managed to make the most of her fun day. Ichigo and her friends still fight the good fight as usual.

Happy birthday to Purin's quints, and a Cirque-du-Soleil like circus show as a birthday present to bring the siblings along look like the perfect opportunity to showcase her parents' work in the entertainment industry. And where the Mew Mew go is where the aliens would react, but with the added mystery about the Blue Knight and when would he appear to stop them in their tracks.

This time, it's Tar-Tar leading the attack with the usual Chimera Anima, though Purin looks completely unfazed at all, even him trying to play friendly with her. And as expected, the entire team shows up and aids Purin, and since there is Mew Aqua lying around, it's calling out to her to finish the job. And since the siblings didn't manage to watch the circus, Purin gives them one in their Mew Mew forms.

Good episode!

THE ENDING KILLED ME!!

New Smewthie song, the girls using their powers to create a show for Purin's siblings, the moment where Purin's mom helped her.... I was an emotional wreck!!

I love how they take the story from the manga and the characters and update them to be more than they were originally! Adding in Purin's mom and giving the Tokyo Dome chapter meaning to her personally was a brilliant move!

One of my absolute favourite episodes of the new adaptation as a whole!

Retasu episode next week, CAN'T WAIT!!
The 2002 Tokyo Mew Mew adaptation is not as great as you remember it being.

Purin is an angel for taking care of her siblings, that final surprise at the end was pretty cute and touching.

I'm guessing this is the closest we are going to get to purin not just being just a 100% gag character

Pudding personality is wonderful. She treats Tart like that because she sees that his just a kid like herself, but that confuses the poor Tar-Tar. He's not accustomed to kindness. I also feel soft for her admiration of her parent's profession and her optimism.

The only downside for me is the romantization of child parentification. It's something that happens irl, so it's important to show it in fiction too, as it reflects human struggles. But she's a pre-teen taking care of five toddlers on her own. It would be a great opportunity to show other emotions: stress, sadness, anger... Mint feels like she's treated like a child at 16 and gets to be sad about it, but Pudding is expected to be a fully responsible caretaker of five kids at 13? and we are supposed to believe that the six of them are happy. Don't they miss their parents? Doesn't she struggles to balance taking care of herself, her sibblings, the home, school, work and mew mew duties at once? I'm not surprised, since it's common in mahou shoujo, but they could explore it a bit more, flesh out the character arcs.

Anyway, new Mew Aqua! Yay!

It's Bu-Ling's younger sibling's birthday.

She takes them to see the circus, but that's where the chimera anima attack.

Shirogane and Lettuce are dry flirting.

Tart and Bu-Ling have a weird friendship.

Masha made a funny joke about moisturizer.

Bu-Ling finds Mew Aqua.

The Mews put on a show for Bu-Ling's siblings and the end credits roll out.
