The official release date for Tokyo Mew Mew Season 2 has been announced.
Anime has many diverse subgenres that, when paired with traditional themes, make for interesting storylines, and one such subgenre is Magical Girls.
Magical Girl is a subgenre of Japanese fantasy media, including anime, manga, light novels, and live-action media, centered around young girls who possess magical abilities, which they typically exercise through an idealized alter ego that they can transform into.
It was a genre that was hugely popular in the early 90s and 90s, with series like Sailor Moon introducing the concept of “transforming heroes” who battled against the forces of evil.
While magical girls aren’t as prevalent as they used to be, Summer 2022 offers the chance to see one of a kind series like the anime adaptation of Reiko Yoshida’s manga hit the small screen.
The story follows Ichigo Momomiya, who is looking forward to starting his high school life and ends up falling in love. She immediately develops a crush on the handsome and popular Masaya Aoyama, who is passionate about protecting the environment.
Upon noticing her interest, Ichigo buys tickets to an endangered species exhibition as part of her first date.
During their date, Ichigo is hit by a mysterious light and passes out. Waking up to see Aoyama, he remains unharmed, but the two of them must escape a giant rat-like creature after injuring Aoyama.
To save his girlfriend, Ichigo awakens his powers and transforms into a heroine with the skills of a cat. After he defeats the monster, researchers Ryou Shirogane and Keiichiro Akasaka explain that Ichigo was chosen to be part of Project Mew.
The project involves a group of five magical girls whose DNA has been infused with a certain endangered species. Now, Ichigo must find his other teammates to defeat the Chimera Anima creatures infected by aliens who want to take over the world before it’s too late.
Tokyo Mew Mew season one was received to mixed reviews, but a second season has already been slated for release.

Tokyo Mew Mew is a remake of the original series animated by Tokyu Agency and Studio Pierrot.
Fans of the original were thrilled that the anime series was back after nearly 20 years, but like most remakes, it failed to live up to expectations.
Anime has come a long way, and unlike the nineties, modern anime fans are leaning more towards mainstream genres like Shonen, Isekai, Slice of Life, and Adventure.
While Tokyo Mew Mew does return after two decades, it did not make it onto the Summer 2022 top-rated fantasy comedy list as series like Isekai Ojisan, The Devil is a Part-Timer, Vermeil in Gold were far more popular.
Nevertheless, Shoujo still has a large fan base, and Tokyo Mew Mew carries a lot of nostalgia since, for many fans, this is their first Magical Girl anime series.
