Another Anime is slated for the execution block. This time, the anime is Tokyo Mew Mew. This cute story about ichigo a girl who gets turned into a magical catgirl. . . I am pestimistic about this licensing due to what is known already. 4kids has the license. And the first change? The title. 4kids is infamous for not acknowledging that there are countries outside of the US. As such they are changing the title to "Hollywood Mew Mew" rather than "Tokyo Mew Mew" www.animenewsnetwork.com/article.php?id=4584

I'm a little new in the Anime department.. what did 4kids prouductions over edit in the past that you guys are so riled up about? What was so bad about the SM dub that EVERYONE that is an SM fan complains of? the only thing i saw was the stuipd little "Sailor moon says" thing at the end that botherd me. Besdies I would think that if you really wanted to see Anime in it's purest form you would go to Japan.. learn to read/write Japanese and watch till your heart's continent.

I'm responding to this one here. thirty seconds off of the begining of each of the first thirty episodes that were dubbed over got cut. Up through SuperS there were 166 episodes. 159 were brought over the rest never saw the light of day on American networks. All of the senshi's names save "Amy", "Raye", "Mina" and Hotaru got changed. Serena and Lita are the only two that I can find that make sense. DiC are completly homophobic and racist. Any shot that prominetly showed kana was cut, anything that was prominently japanese was cut. Dic and Cloverway added that "hip" lingo which grates on my nerves a major example of this is when Chibiusa says to Usagi in the R movie "Good luck". Which got replaced with rini saying "Go get 'em Moon mama" which was not only lame but it was tacky. Anything "excessivly violent" or sexual in the slightest was likewise cut. Rei's grandfather was a dirty old man that the young girls were warned that that sort of behaviour is not acceptable in a magazine. Which turned into an add for Raye's grandfather's dojo. Some traditional anime reactions such as sweatdrops and other extreame reaction shots were cut out. Some shots of Usagi sticking her tongue out at Mamoru were also cut, as was the scene where she spat some green liquid at Rei. They made Amara and Michelle kissing cousins where as Haruka and Michiru were lovers. They made zoicite a woman where as he was a homosexual effeminte male in the origianal anime. They made Fisheye a woman even though he too was not. They were completly lazy with some of the episodes they didn't bring over. AS in there was no reason not to bring them over other than "we don't feel like it. So far for retaining original content the highest I've found is around 64%. pretty sad. as for 4kids Changing Tokyo Mew Mew to Hollywood Mew Mew already threatens the rasict "there is no such thing as japanese." slogan that the BAD dubbing companies hold as a golden rule. Pokemon was able to retain its Japanese names purely because nintendo owned it and still had some say in it.
