I´ve completed season 1 and I am very satisfied. I myself had been asking for a remake for years and it finally happened. The original will always be my favorite since childhood, but there was so much they removed or changed from the manga. Tokyo Mew Mew New follows the manga more closely yet still tweak things to make some characters more interesting or to make sure it´s fresh by not copying all pages from it. Some changes for the better, others for worse.

The animation can go from beautiful to clunky very often and just as I assumed - it´s because of animators´ timeframe. (DVD ... & Blueray prooven to have updated animation). If you can´t look past the less polished bits, oh well.
Script writers have a hard time when it comes to pacing due to them following the manga too closely sometimes. There is a need for breathing between happenings!

Tokyo Mew Mew New is a feel good, cheesy yet unique magical girl show about 5 girls injected with animal DNA who use their powers to protect and save the environment from aliens who seek to wipe out humankind. Friendship, romance, unhinged bad boy who wants the main girl - what´s not to like?

I look forward to seeing season 2 in 2023!
