It's so sweet to see Ichigo's bond with Mint in this show...the two has really grown as close friends.

We got a hell of a problem again in the city...it's really too bad they can't have this episode be more relaxing but then again, it is Ichigo's role to take care of business like this. This episode might of actually been one of toughest problem they've dealt with so far. Then again, they have a reason to fight so that's why they prevailed.

Mint's sudden runaway from home to see Ichigo's family lifestyle that's a big contrast to her family, which still treats her like a child, and the sisterly-type bond enables her to grow up and think in an adult manner, to prove to her brother and father that the family blood still runs in her family. The Blue Knight has both sides contemplating whether he's friend or foe, and right now, it's of uncertainty of which side he lands on.

The idea taken to Mint's brother's factory to put her wind generator idea into fruition, but the aliens under Pie beating them to the punch with the Chimera Anima creating a tornado, the Blue Knight is always there to keep Ichigo safe. And in this situation, only Mint can put a stop to her own power source while Ichigo gets rid of the Chimera Anima, but still, the mysterious illusive Blue Knight of question aside, Mint's brother showed her the path that only she can take, and needn't force her way to be the same like the family.

Nice episode for Mint.

Oh, now this is interesting episode. Tokyo Mew Mew's main theme is climate change concern, and this episode offers some legit solutions from Mint's company, even if far from perfect, like electric vehicle and propeller plane, but the focus is on wind power. It also shows that the earlier prototype of cleaner energy might not work the way people expect, but if we keep on developing it without abandon the project, then the prototype will finally become a product.

I honestly thought I'd hate this series based on what others have said about it, but I think this is a hidden gem and an overall improvement to the original, and even s1 of the reboot.

And this episode went more in-depth into Mint's backstory (kinda) which is something I Reaaaaaaly liked about it. So far my favorite series of this season.

Best girl episode, I never thought about it, only solar energy for home usage and why there were no wind turbines even on a really small scale for homes but I knew sound is a really big factor when it comes to wind as an energy source. I miss the old ending but this one is pretty good, I like a lot the animation of the girls dancing for some reason.

Mint is definitely clever, that was nice to get more from her in this episode, especially when it comes to somewhat realistic climate change issues for the companies

We need mroe of this. More interaction with them not all pretty up. We need mroe character interactions and growth. I also like Mint's brother here. He said the right thing. Stuff like this makes this show not your typical, "Girl power" storyline if you ask me. This has been a solid show for me but let's see if we can have more character interaction.
I got a Masters degree. I don't have to worry bout school anymore.

"I'm sick and tired of being treated like a child." So your solution is to act like a child and run away from home. Okay. They’re supposed to be in middle school in the manga, the stupid reboot made them high schoolers, and they’re acting like elementary schoolers.

Wind turbines are an extremely stupid idea and they kill thousands, maybe even millions of birds, each year.

Does no one see the irony here? Mint has the DNA of a Blue Lorikeet, yet she doesn’t realize this idea of hers kills birds. Did they even think this through when they wrote this filler episode? Why are they pushing this environmental propaganda instead of adapting the damn manga accurately? Or talking about something that will actually help the environment, like nuclear power, which is far safer and doesn’t kill animals. I will NEVER take an environment seriously unless they mention nuclear power.

Mint's immaturity caused her brother's facility and property to be destroyed. No, this isn't just children being stupid, making mistakes, and learning from their mistakes. These are EXPENSIVE mistakes and probably cost their family's business millions of yen. They'll just conveniently blame this on the weather when in reality it was 100% Mint's fault.

Again, WHY is it so hard to follow the manga?!

Now i feel kinda anxious for a green energy and stuff, i mean, they show us that if you need to use wind power u haveta generate some winds first. I read somewhere that cows and pigs doing it really good, maybe we can do something in this particular area? Green and everything.

It Yumeta Company and Graphinica, they tend to make different changes. The other work that they have done, many people had concerned with for not adapting the anime closely and accurately to the original work such as the manga or light novels

This episode was so absurd I thought it may have been written by AI.
I hate it when the protagonists can do whatever they want, no matter if they cause damage or not and get away with it like it was nothing, they learn nothing out of it and there's no character development at all.

I really liked the girls bonding with each other, but the episode doesn't make sense.

Mint is supposed to be practical, mature and sophisticated, isn't she? But her behaviour feels shallow. She runs from home and when we are shown why, it's actually nothing. They are not treating her like a child, she's just too young to be CEO or whatever. Even if she wants to be a bussiness woman, I don't understand why she tries to do engineering and mechanical work. From an echological perspective it doesn't make sense either, since wind turbines kill flying animals like birds and pollinators and generate noise pollution.

When she finally makes a mess there are no consequences. She steals from his brother what probably was fruit of months of hard work from the workers and when it gets destroyed it doesn't matter because friendship. Her brother doesn't look mad, she doesn't feel guilt, nobody is worried about the hole in the building or the tornado.

I don't get what the writers were trying to say with any of this.

Mint runs away from home.

Ichigo and Mint bond over how their parents treat them like children (even though they are...) and that they are "not in the first grade anymore."

Lettuce is simping for Shirogane.

Mint comes up with an awesome business proposal.

Aoyama keeps passing out and having weird dreams about Ichigo crying and being in distress.

Blue Knight showed up and fought Pie and stated that his only reason for being is to protect Ichigo.
