The proper Music of the Sub instantly makes a difference.
When I said I liked the VAs in the 4kids versions, I mainly meant the girls. All the male characters instantly sound way better in the Sub.
Well I've finished Mew Mew Power and I gotta say calling the Tokyo Tower "City Tower" is kinda funny.
It's a shame it ended on a direct cliff hanger. I was gonna take a break before picking up with the Sub first (that usually makes adjusting to different voices easier) but now I wanna see what happens next.
Okay I thought I was on episode 17 of Tokyo Mew Mew but suddenly they are flashing back to something I don't recall. Did the order of the 4kids version get mixed around again?
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).
The most frustrating part of watching the 4kids version of Mew Mew is all the extra ad breaks edited in.
I don't get it, they didn't do that to Pokemon?
