Summary here

How sad, the grades were going up, and now they went down again. This episode had a little much cut from it, and the poor fourth wall is broken now. Now to run off and march in a parade~

83%. A bit lower than the last few episodes. A lot of stuff was cut, and some things were changed around. Mew Aqua was changed to Blue Aqua, which is a bit odd since they love having "Mew" names. Not a whole lot else to say, really.


The basic script was intact, though little things were changed. Like in the Mint/Zakuro scene near the end, Zakuro originally helped Mint find something that she had to protect. The dub had Renee make Corina confess that she was scared. But it basically all worked out in the end.

Mew Aqua is now called Blue Aqua. The one thing that I thought would keep its name gets changed.

The dub makes the Blue Lorikeet in Mint's dream talk. In the original, it chirped, and with Mint answering, it gives the impression that she can talk to birds (which is important later in the series)

The dub places a shot of Mint's house and her sleeping before her dream starts. This shot is also used later in the episode where it originally was located.

(16 seconds) Mint sitting up and hitting herself lightly on the head after her dream is cut.

(8 seconds) Ichigo's close up to the camera during her speech is cut.

(3 seconds) Lettuce walking with the cake set is cut short a smidge. I got to count steps for this one~

(4 seconds) A shot of a corner of the cafe = delet'd

(4 seconds) Shifty eyed Ichigo is cut (she was speaking about having the spirit of a cat)

(20 seconds) All of this is from the Ichigo/Mint convo. First some panning of the cafe, and then a close up of Ichigo.

"Blue Aqua? Isn't that redundant?"
"Perhaps, but it's the best we can come up with at short notice."

Haha, they're making fun of their own name >> Though a friend of mine (and my box counter) said that it makes sense with some things at the end of the series...

The shot of Mint's hands is replaced with a shot of her face.

(3 seconds) Ichigo speaking to the bird from a far away shot is cut.

(9 seconds) The second far away shot of Ichigo and Aoyama is cut.

(5 seconds) Another shot of Ichigo's face.

The alien scene was moved before the scene with Ichigo returning to the cafe.

"Like it? I named it myself."
"The name sounds a bit redundant if you ask me."

And again!

(2 seconds) The shot of Mint's tea set at the cafe is cut.

(10 seconds) The cute chibi scene after the girls get Mint's uniform back is cut.

The text on the computer screen is erased, and also blurred in a part.

"I'll have Bridget whip you up a turkey mewich."
"Turkey. Always turkey."

Mmm, new mew pun.

(1 second) A shot of the closed sign outside of the cafe.

The Supernatural transformation today is edited to show just the three girls that are there. The ending is kind of messy using shots from the opening theme, though. This transformation is also longer than the one used in the original (which was just the girls yelling out transformation phrases and then Ichigo's ending pose)

(6 seconds) A shot of the window before Mint goes to her balcony is cut.

(5 seconds) The mini-rap is cut out.

(7 seconds, 6 seconds) Beginning and end of Mint's transformation.

Just something weird I noticed...Renee tells Zoey to distract the Predasite, but Zoey and Corina attack. In the original, Zakuro told Ichigo and Mint to attack together from above. Makes more sense, eh?

Lettuce and Pudding's attacks are moved before Ichigo starts using Rose Bell/Ribbon Strawberry Surprise.

"I don't know what a s'more is and I'm so not gonna ask."
"Who you talking to?"

Fourth wall: *SHATTERS*

(4 seconds) Ichigo glomping Mint is cut.

"This whole sleepover thing is so 13."

Aww, Miki's congratulations are replaced by a silly line.
