Dub or Sub Tokyo Miu Miu?

[KawaiiGirl104]

Truthfully, I really hate Mew Mew Power. They cut out everything good, changed the names, (Dren? Mark? Really?) and even the location! 4Kids! didn't even get the rights to every episode! But the Japanese with English subs is so much better! My favorite episode is episode 5 of the Japanese.
Well, which do you like better: Dubbed or Subbed?

I'd rather just read the manga, after seeing only a few minutes of a single episode of Mew Mew Power. I want to rip my face off every time I even THINK about how they butchered the series.

[KawaiiGirl104]

Yeah. The opening theme can die in a hole. Mew Mew Power is so weird. I had a friend who had a little sister who was in love with Mew Mew Power. I looked it up on Wikipedia because I thought it came from anime due to the eye and hair design. I showed my friend's little sister Tokyo Miu Miu and she loved that one more than Mew Mew Power! Ha! Even a 7 year old has good taste.
If you want to get all of the Japanese episodes RAW, search tmm-in-a-nutshell in Google and you can get it there easy. It's kind of funnier in Japanese with no subs! Have you ever watched it RAW?

I actually don't like watching things sub. I have an issue with needing to read EVERY subtitle, and more often than not, the subtitles flash by too fast. I have taken some Japanese, but not enough to watch it without the subtitles on. v.v I just prefer watching the dubbed version usually.

But that being said, I have a few animes that I refuse to watch dubbed because of bad editing. So I end up just reading the manga. The manga are usually better anyways, since the transition from book to tv usually has the editors cutting out entire arcs and changing things all across the board. The end result is still the same story, but with a lot less to a true fan.

[KawaiiGirl104]

Yeah. Your right, I guess. I read the first few pages of the Tokyo Miu Miu manga and the anime was way off in how they all met. But I think that's just because they wanted to make sure it would last. One anime that I don't think I'll be watching soon is Chii's Sweet Home. They're just 3 minute little episodes. It sucks.
Anyways, back on subject. You are right that the manga always seems better. Tokyo Miu Miu manga, by what I've read, is WAY better than the anime. But since I haven't read every single page of the manga, I can't say it's completely better.

There are a total of seven books, I read the first half at my public library, but I bought 5,6,7. It was definately good, and tied up all of the story at the end completely and satisfyingly. There's actually a sequel series called Tokyo Mew Mew Ala Mode, but I haven't had the pleasure of reading too much of that one. The library only got the first volume, and I've had other stuff to deal with rather than buying new manga. *tear*

[KawaiiGirl104]

Yeah, I know about the manga, there being 7 original and 2 a la Mode but I just haven't gotten to readin them all yet.
I have to help some stupid teacher with some weird list I don't want to do. Got any ideas?

[Grell]

Pretend you're sick and go home.

[KawaiiGirl104]

Can't. Parents are always working. So that's a bust.
