Summary here

Aww, this episode kept it's cuteness, though it was scattered with alterations and SDAs. I like when character episodes aren't changed too much.

Anubi's thoughts


Script was on, though the mother's death was toned down a lot. And I must admit, they did do a good job covering up the shelter thing mentioned last season.

Heicha's name was changed to Heidi.

Chincha, Lucha, Honcha, and Hanacha (Pudding's brothers, if you didn't know) are left unnamed.

The school is renamed Little Sprouts Daycare, and the nameless teacher is named Miss Rosbe.

The still shot of the cafe at the beginning of the episode is replaced with a zooming in shot from some other episode.

The shot of Ichigo and Lettuce hearing the crash in the kitchen was moved before Keiichiro speaks.

The flashing arrows identifying what each little thing on Pudding's body was was cut.

(1 second) The shot of health sandals on Pudding's feet was cut.

In the original, Keiichiro and Ryou knew that Pudding had siblings, so they told Ichigo and the others to pick up her sister for Pudding. The dub changes that to Wesley and Elliott telling the girls to investigate what Little Sprouts is.

Ichigo and Lettuce nodding before they leave the cafe is replaced with the still shot of them standing.

The kana on the daycare sign is replaced.

A spiffy scene changer was added right before Ichigo and them are talking to the teacher.

(11 seconds) The scene with Pudding's father is cut.

The shots of Pudding working around the house are sped up.

Pudding taking Heicha to the school is moved after a bit more of the teacher talking.

"I'm just glad she's not a lonely, independent orphan living in a shelter like we all thought."

Nice job covering up episode 7's statement.

(3 seconds) Mint speaking to Pudding when she comes to the daycare is cut.

(5 seconds) The kids saying "thanks for the food" after eating is cut

Ichigo's cup is changed to say "Zoey!" instead of "Ichigo!" The toothpaste tube also has it's text taken off.

(10 seconds) Face shots of Ichigo, Lettuce, and Mint, and then Pudding thanking them (in Japanese and Chinese) was cut.

The kana on the the to-do list is replaced.

(9 seconds) Ichigo and the others asking the kids to work together with them and bowing is cut.

Pudding's theme "Yes Yes Yes" played for the first time at this point, it's cut out of course.

Going back to the previous cut, in the dub the kids aren't cooperating with the girls. In the original, they are.

Another scene changer was added before the girls leave.

(2 seconds) Pudding bowing to the girls is cut.

The scene with the teacher and Pudding driving is flipped.

(5 seconds) The still shot of Pudding in the car is cut short.

(4 seconds) An image of Pudding's mother appearing over the teacher is cut.

"What's the matter Kikki, are you too chicken to fight? Oh, wait, no. Don't want to offend my Predasite."

Tarb is turning into Dren with his SDA.

(1 second) The rear shot of the chicken Chimera Animal is cut.

"My, how the worm turns! Get it?"

We all get how silly that sounds.
