"So get ready for 'Hollywood Mew Mew'." - Bender of Anime Blog Muyo!

If you don't know what in the world did I just pull out, the good news is that "Tokyo Mew Mew" will come to North America. The bad news is that 4Kids picked it up. So, as Bender already said, get ready for "Hollywood Mew Mew"!

Okay. I have not seen the anime, though I have glimpsed at part of the manga. I can just say the word "pathetic" in terms of this pickup and then leave.

On a more brighter note, expect the third episode of "Moeyo Ken" to come out in a couple of weeks. Oh yeah. I "might" translate "Rabbie", but that depends on my schedule.

It's a pretty formulaic Sailor Moon clone with a "don't kill endangered animals" kind of theme. The animation is pretty bad; at certain points they just use computers to shrink objects in order to move them "away" from the camera and it looks pixely and awful. Also it has the most generic love interest I've ever seen.

Something I thought was funny though was that one chick speaks English "fluently." While the grammar is actually pretty spot on, she is clearly reading without any comprehension since she accentuates the wrong syllibles and sounds absolutely hilarious. If you remember Yukari-sensei from Azumanga, think much poorer than that.

I wouldn't worry about it being ruined in translation since quite frankly it's not really that impressive anyway.

Sorry if anyone likes this show. Not trying to be mean or anything.

EDIT: I miss cell animation...

Yeah, I know what it is, but there's a character with English half as good as Yukari-sensei? Ha ha ha! That's a riot.

Yeah but I just wanted to vent a little and expand on why it's mediocre since you hadn't seen it.

And yeah that character is funny since when she speaks in English everyone's like "WOW SHE'S SO GOOD AT ENGLISH!!!"

EDIT: vvvvvvvvvvv Hahaha!

It's funny how another company (DIC? Nelvana, can't remember.) changed the title of "Happy Sunshine Pig" to "Tokyo Pig" when it came to America, yet another company feels the need to pull Tokyo out of a title.

Regarding the process of localization, 4Kids CEO Al Kahn stated, "By the time we localize the programs kids don’t even know they’re from Japan any more."
