I'm not opposed to #anime remakes at all, and unlike many people I don't think they're necessarily 'soulless' compared to older adaptations (for example, I like #TokyoMewMewNew more than #TokyoMewMew). I guess I'm just surprised.
Anyway, I love #TokyoMewMewNew. 💞 Was the finale cheesy? Yes, absolutely, but let's be real, #TokyoMewMew is a fundamentally cheesy franchise. I mean, it's a story about a rich young genius who uses the DNA of endangered #animals to transform a group of ordinary girls into magical world-saving warriors. It has always been kind of silly.
The new episode of #TokyoMewMewNew features Huang Buling's encounter with Tart under the Tokyo Dome and blends it nicely with a flashback about her mother.
I do think that Huang Buling's story was overall more... poignant in the old #TokyoMewMew#anime, but at the same time, I like how her mother is a circus performer in #TokyoMewMewNew and not JUST a tragic mom.
