Tokyo Mew Mew/YMMV

• Americans Hate Tingle: Aoyama Masaya, poster boy for Die for Our Ship, gets none of that in Japan, partly due to the second half of the series (which fleshes out his personality and gives insight into his identity and his relationship with Ichigo) was never dubbed into English.
• Complete Monster: Deep Blue counts big time (at least, in the anime). While the manga depicted him as a savior of the aliens, the anime established him as far more evil and malicious. Here are some of the best reasons why:
  • He's cold and extremely cruel, and doesn't hesitate to hurt Ichigo or any of the Mew Mews and will kill anyone who gets in his way without showing remorse. And worse yet, he doesn't show any of the feelings of either of his other alter-egos (Masaya and the Blue Knight) towards Ichigo herself despite her reluctance to fight him.
  • He murders Quiche for getting in his way of attempting to kill Ichigo again, who sacrifices himself to protect her. Way to go, blue dude.
  • Moral Event Horizon: He unleashes beams from his fortress all over Tokyo that not only are powerful enough to destroy the Chimera, but also threaten to murder the other Mew Mews. Had Pie stayed loyal to Deep Blue and therefore not realized how evil he is and therefore not sacrificed himself to save them, they would've been slaughtered in a truly horrible way.
• Creator's Pet: Berrii.
• Draco in Leather Pants: Quiche. Many fans seemed to forget that his "OMG TWU WUB" for Ichigo can come across as really creepy, and in the worst case, sexual harassment.
  • Even if Deep Blue is a Complete Monster, fans have even bought him leather pants as well.
• Fan Nickname: Berry Sue - Berii, for obvious reasons.
• Fanon Discontinuity: A La Mode, for many fans.
• Foe Yay: Bu-ling/Taruto is canon and Pai/Retasu semi-canon if you squint.
• Les Yay: Minto and Zakuro, to the point where it probably goes beyond Subtext.
• Macekre: They change the setting from Japan to America, despite it being probably the most Japanese show they've ever dealt with. Far worse: It was initially touted by 4Kids as "Hollywood Mew Mew" (which eventually became an episode name). Even worse: Al Kahn is quoted in a press release for this as having said "By the time we localize the programs, kids won't even know they're from Japan any more."
  • That's not the worst of it. They actually made episode 12 in Japan into episode 1 in America and threw it straight into Canon Dis Continuity. Not to mention the ending of that episode in the dub. That truly takes the Macekre cake.
• Obfuscating Stupidity: Possibly Quiche. Definitely very intelligent and logical, but he usually acts like a child, especially in front of the Mews.
• Periphery Demographic: (Mostly) adult male doujinshika.
• Relationship Sue: Masaya is often seen as this by American fans, who claim that he's "perfect" and ignore the fact that he's only projecting a "perfect" persona in front of a deeply flawed interior.
• Ron the Death Eater: Masaya. Sure, he may be a Stepford Smiler because he hates all of humanity, at least prior to meeting Ichigo, but he wasn't born evil!
  • Although most people who hate him seem to not be aware of- or deliberately ignore- that spoiled part, which happens after the American dub ended, and instead demonize him as a Gary Stu.
• The Scrappy: Masaya, hated by shippers.
  • Replacement Scrappy: Berri.
• Sequelitis: A la Mode.
• Shipping
  • Die for Our Ship: Aoyama-kun, we pity you. We really do.
  • Fan-Preferred Couple: Masaya/Ichigo fans are a small minority, despite that being the Official Couple. Ichigo's other harem boys, Ryou and Quiche are much more popular.
  • Toy Ship: Bu-ling and Tart, which actually becomes canon.
• They Changed It, Now It Sucks: The remake series, Tokyo Mew Mew New, received several criticisms the moment the new character design and trailer were unveiled.
  • Ichigo losing her signature pink hair from the original anime, while being Truer to the Text to the manga, does bring question regarding the subplot of her Clark Kenting and Masaya's suspicion since the her civilian form and Mew form now look exactly the same without the pink hair to provide a layer of disguise.
  • Mint losing her iconic Odango Hair in her civilian identity, as well her dress losing ballerina motif in her Mew dress.
  • Lettuce losing her iconic Leotard of Power for a more generic high skirt is not well-received, especially in Japan.
  • Pudding's dress is changed from gymnatic-inspired suit to something similar to Mint's. Her additional pigtails are dislike for making her looking far too young for her age.
  • Zakuro new design made her cuter that her original self who is more mature in appearance.
• Vindicated by History: As the original fans aged up and were able to view the second half of the anime (which weren't dubbed into English and many countries), many had since came to view Ichigo and Masaya's healthy relationship in a more positive light while also seeing that Quiche's toxic actions (stalking and harassment) prior his Heel Face Turn made him not suitable for Ichigo in any way.
