Tokyo Mew Mew 01-51/51 + extras


Video: x264 (10-bit) 704x476 4:3 crf 17
Audio: Japanese AC3 2.0 384kbit/s
Subtitles: English softsubs (.ass), translation by honobono/AonE

Screen comparison between honobono/AonE hardsub and this re-release. The original honobono/AonE hardsub was a mixture of TV-rips and DVD-rips. In the screen comparison, the first four screens compare against the TV-rips and the last four screens compare the DVD-based episodes.


Video comes from R2J DVDs and is unfiltered. The subtitles were OCRed from the hardsubs.

BlameThank Zalis and TVTropes for some name changes and global translation corrections:

Momomiya Ichigo -> Mew Strawberry* / Attacks: Reborn (not Ribbon) Strawberry Surprise/Check, Strawberbell
Aizawa Minto - > Mew Mint / Attacks: Mintonarrow
Midorikawa Retasu -> Mew Lettuce / Attacks: Lettastanets
Huang Bu-Ling - > Mew Pudding / Attacks: PuddingRings
Fujiwara Zakuro -> Mew Pomegranate* / Attacks: Pomegran' Spear
Villains: Quiche, Pie, Tart (not Kish, Pai, and Tart)
Chimera Animal -> Chimera Anima
METAMORPHO-SIS! -> METAMORPHO-SE!

* I imagine some of the fanbase may take issue with these names being translated, but it doesn't make sense to translate some of the "Mew " names but not others. Plus, the strawberries and pomegranates are clearly shown in the ED.



This release uses ordered chapters. As much as I don't like them, here they save 4Gb of space. The linked files should be located in the same directory in order to be played back correctly:

NCOP, NCED -> linked to all episodes
Intro1 -> linked to episodes 1-11
Intro2 -> linked to episodes 12-41
Intro3 -> linked to episodes 42-52

Operation Sanctuary 17/17 + NCOP/NCED1/NCED2


OK, so the last episode is a recap which, ironically, recaps events from the alternative timeline (episodes 9'-12'), even though it was originally broadcasted after the regular ep9-12. Guess the purpose was to confuse the viewers.

I've replaced about 30 lines in the SS track with Zalis translations from episodes 9'-12', to maintain consistency and also because some of the original lines made no sense. I didn't do this with the Ayu track, because it is generally inferior and you shouldn't use it anyway.

D.C. II: Da Capo II 05/13


Now, this episode was not too easy to do, because of some annoying signs (in addition to an insert song). Anyway, thanks to Coreydbz for unveiling the existence of animetosho; DDLs for this episode should eventually appear here.

Operation Sanctuary 13-16/17


OK, here are the DVD specials. Thank Zalis for the translation.

This is basically an alternative route. Remember that this anime is based on a game/visual novel, and such games often have multiple routes, leading to the main hero ending up with different girls. So why anime can't have them?

The split takes part after episode 8. In episode 8, Naoki and Mikoto were running around the town searching for Yuusuke. Then they had some conversation in which Mikoto was telling Naoki about her past. Episode 9' continues from there.

Operation Sanctuary 12/17


This is the first ending of this show. Stay tuned for the four DVD special episodes, never available in English before, three of which are already translated by Zalis. They are basically alternative versions of episodes 9-12, with alternative ending. They also have much more plot :)
