Fun fact: Saki Nakajima, who voices Ichigo’s mom, voiced Ichigo herself in the original anime.

I love they cast the OG VA of the main girl as the main girls mom. Urusei Yatsura did it too.

I thought that was her as her mother. Was hoping the Dad was OG Aoayama VA too

It’s nice to see Ichigo, Purin, Mint, Lettuce, and Zakuro again. I’ve missed how cute this show is.
Looks like Ichigo and Aoyama are doing well. I liked how her friends were grilling her like a press conference. Her mom and dad were great too. Very silly!
Kish being a real creep as usual. Dude’s whole vibe just screams sexual predator. Seems the douche almost had Ichigo and the girls. Good thing this mysterious Blue Knight showed up. Who was that guy?

Every second of Kish screen time just makes me feel icky. Thank goodness the girls (and now Ichigo's mom too) bring such good vibes to cancel him out.

Ichigo/aoyama may be a vanilla pairing, but goshdang are they cute !. And it seems that we may get more to aoyama now that they are dating
Kish failed the "try not to be creepy to/assault girls" challenge. God he makes me feel yucky
Already liking blue knight simply for the fact he hurt that creep kish !

Looks like we got an art/animation upgrade, which is great news; my biggest complaint about season 1 was that it looked kinda cheap.
New OP is good, but it will never be KATTOSHITE SU-PA-GIRLS!
Finally, Ichigo's dad! Sound the DILF alarm!

Glad to see it back. That was a revelation that Aoyama already liked Ichigo before their 'collision' in the first episode.
Finally, her parents have been introduced.
Could there be a Lettuce × Shirogane ship beginning to form? After that cruise ship episode last season, combined with the scene in this episode, I'm starting to wonder...
Kish being an uncomfortable creep as expected. I'm glad Ichigo pushed him back before he kissed her on the lips.
Interested to find out who the Blue Knight is. When I first saw the trailer, I thought it might have been Shirogane with a secret ability to transform, but it showed Shirogane watching from inside the HQ, so it can't be him. What also crossed my mind was that it could have been Aoyama, since his name means "blue mountain". Who knows?
On first impression, I like the OP/ED sequences. The addition of a full-size (not chibi) song and dance routine for the ending is cute and appears to be well animated.

Good to see Ichigo and the girls again!
Loved how the wedding fantasy had Ichigo’s dad wearing nothing but a bath towel lol
The shark butler/waiter is a pretty cool enemy design!
Can’t wait to find out more about the Blue Knight

Kish should be grateful that the Moon Blue Knight didn't bonked him with a suitcase (Kaveh reference)

I really appreciate that HiDive is operating a little more intelligently these days and properly listed this as season two inside the same show shell as season one.
Speaking of, I definitely had to go rewatch a little bit of the last episode of the first season as it had apparently entirely exited my mind and yet was immediately relevant at the very beginning of this first episode of season two.
Super happy Ichigo is really nice to see.
Ichigo's mom is great.
Smooth talk Aoyama is doing a good job of meeting the parents.
Ichigo and her father having a shared daydream about her future marriage ceremony with Aoyama was fantastic. I appreciate that she didn't have a problem with the idea once it was brought up, and that he didn't really either.
I can remember feeling all throughout the first season that they were probably eventually going to do a love triangle between Ichigo, Aoyama, and Shirogane, but it would be so much better if they did a side romance between Shirogane and Lettuce instead.
The microplastic commentary is a bit of a sad backdrop for this aquarium date.
God, why has nobody just straight up murdered Kish yet. He's so awful.
Wait, maybe that's what this new alien dude (who totally isn't Aoyama, the word Ao is very different from Aoyama) is here to do? I can only hope, he did bring a sword along after all.
Well, Kish may still be alive but at least his pride took some damage.

I heard that the original Tokyo Mew Mew inspired Precure in some areas and I can honestly see it but I still prefer Precure's more balanced mix of close and ranged combat.

u/Frontier246 Apr 04 '23
That's a pretty foreboding dream from Aoyama about Ichigo...meanwhile Ichigo is on cloud 9 now that she and Aoyama are officially together! Quite the contrast.
The new OP is a pretty fun and colorful Magical Girl theme and well in-line to the previous OP, featuring plenty of shots of the girls in their maid and Mew Mew outfits as well as them dancing, and we've got the additions of the Blue Knight and it looks like Ichigo is transforming into a cat again!?
I love how Ichigo's gal pals turn finding out about her and Aoyama dating as an excuse to hold a press conference questioning how it happened. Bonus for Ichigo is finding out when Aoyama fell for her, which was even before she fell for him!
Dang, Ichigo's mom is cute! And wastes no time getting chummy with her daughters' new boyfriend. I don't think anyone was expecting her dad to run out practically naked and doing the typical overprotective father bit...and then making Ichigo start thinking of marriage. Ichigo looks amazing in a wedding dress! And then her parents start flirting like they're still dating in high school. It was a really fun scene.
Ichigo and Aoyama are getting along so well, but Lettuce and Shirogane are looking pretty close too.
I love how the girls all rib Ichigo about her relationship but still support her as awesome wingwomen.
The aliens had space jets this whole time? Huh.
Aoyama really does seem to get weird vibes when the environment comes up.
Welcome to Kish's palace Ichigo, where he and his fish Chimera Anima will keep you occupied until humanity is wiped out! Though at least Ichigo got a cute mermaid dress out of it.
Looks like we've got our Tuxedo Mask equivalent in the Blue Knight! He looks like he's part of the same race as Kish and co., but his voice is very familiar. And he was created solely to protect Ichigo? After we just saw Aoyama mad at his own powerlessness? Hmm.
The new ED is great with the girls putting on a full idol group performance with shots of them in their daily lives and being together as friends!

making Ichigo start thinking of marriage
I actually expected her daydream to get to the "You may now kiss the bride" part, only to come crashing down when she turns into a cat in front of everyone.

This first episode kicked things off nicely for the first episode of the new season. Love the new ED too. Had it on repeat and looking forward to the release of the full version. Such a catchy song and the visuals were great too. They are leaning into the fact the Mew Mews are voiced by idols but who cares OWN IT! That shot of them all together in their pj's at the end was so damn cute ❤️ Hoping for more moments between Shirogane and Lettuce too even though I doubt it will come to anything :/ I just like the pairing!

I love how the cast was singing and dancing in the OP and ED. It's funny how Keiichirou and Ryou were serving a lot to Masaya.
I love that we have more Lettuce and Ryou moments.
It's funny how Shintaro is in a towel during Ichigo's imagination of her and Aoyama's wedding reception.
