Unsure how anyone thought this could be turned into a G rated kids' show, but I'm sure #4Kids tried...
Today marks the 100th issue of Johto Times. To celebrate this incredible milestone, here is our interview with Stuart Zagnit, the original voice of Professor Oak from the Pokémon anime!

So I've finally put my finger on why the Musical choices of the 4 Kids Tokyo Mew Mew localization bug me.
I spend a lot of time after watching a Magical Girl show also seeking out any old Abridged Series that were made. And in those playing an American Pop Song during the Transformation scene is one of the most common Jokes.
So 4kids playing their mid-00s Pop Rock songs over these transformations feels like a Parody to me.
I have been very critical of the implementation of the original Music in this 4kids Tokyo Mew Mew localization, but i do have a desire to try listening to these songs on their own.
However it seems like they never released a Mew Mew Power CD like they did for Pokémon.
Returning to the subject of Tokyo Mew Mew as an influence on future Magical Girl Stuff. Perhaps it influenced the Live Action Sailor Moon with the whole Fifth Member being an Idol thing.
At anyrate the 4kids version has now caught up to it's pseudo pilot.

So episode 7 turned out to be pretty good, even in it's 4kids version (where it's the 8th episode).
