Summary
Ichigo Momomiya (Zoey in English dub) was a normal girl, worried mostly about her crush, Masaya Aoyama (Mark in English dub). However, just as she was able to date him, she was struck by a mysterious beam and everything changed. She is now part of the Mew Project, genetically fused with an endangered species of cat. With her new powers and companions, she must protect the earth from invading aliens.

My Thoughts
I really liked Tokyo Mew Mew, which will be one of many guilty pleasure anime that I will be reviewing (Again I am a 22 year old man). While it may seem like a Sailor Moon copy at first it does begin to carve out its own identity which makes it unique. The different characters are unique in their own way adding to the enjoyment of the show. Ichigo, the leader, Mint, Lettuce, Purin, Zakuro along with the boss Ryou and love interest Masaya make the show pretty enjoyable and interesting. The mysterious heroic Blue Knight along with the villains like Quiche (Kisshu) add some pretty good excitement to this show. It is kind of similar to My Story in a the way that the characters are part animal, have animal abilities, and can transform back and forth. However my story is more serious and nowhere near as cute or girly. Overall, it was a enjoyable good show and while it shares similarities to other magical girl anime it's pretty unique in its own way.
Couples/Shippings
Okay now as long as we have anime there will probably be lots of couples (aka ships) that people will create from these shows. Ichigo is usually paired with Masaya, Quiche (Kisshu), or sometimes Ryou. Honestly I don't understand why she's paired with Quiche or why people don't like her with Masaya. I kind of understand why some people would put her with Ryou but in my opinion she belongs with Masaya. I mean Quiche's relationship with her is more like being a stalker than an actual lover whereas Ryou usually just messes with her but isn't really interested in her romantically. I think Ichigo belongs with Masaya because they have mutual feelings and both make great sacrifices for one another. Like most all couples, Ichigo and Masaya face obstacles in their relationship which makes them a stronger couple. It's an adorable relationship between a clumsy sweet Ichigo and the popular Masaya. I really wish that there were more couple/relationship stories between a shy boy and popular girl though. (I'm kind of a shy boy myself). So if you feel the same, feel free to ship them if your opinion is different, that's fine.

My Conclusion
I would give Tokyo Mew Mew 4.5/5 stars. It's a cute, enjoyable, and exciting anime that is a must watch for everyone who likes the magical girl genre. This is also a great child friendly anime too so any young kids can watch this as well. I plan on watching and reviewing some similar magical girl anime such as Mermaid Melody, Cardcaptor Sakura, Wedding Peach, Nanatsuiro Drops and more... So stay tuned!
