History YMMV / TokyoMewMew

* ViewerGenderConfusion: Most people who have watch Tokyo Mew Mew for the first time or never seen it before thought that Kisshu and Taruto were girls due to their pigtails and midriff-exposing outfits while having really long eyelashes. Tart suffers the most due to the fact that he's been voiced by women in most of the international (Italian, Mandarin, Greek etc) dubs. Weirdly enough, viewers found it odd that Tart would be voice by grown men or teenage voice actors despite being a prepubescent boy and Pie who's the most masculine of the group to be voiced by a woman in the dubs from international countries.

* WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids:
** Quiche having a [[StalkerWithACrush stalker crush]] on Ichigo and attempts to kidnap/ stealing a SacredFirstKiss without her consent? Check. [[FamilyUnFriendlyDeath Blood, Death and characters strangling each other]]? Check. Religious references, Nudity in TransformationSequence? Check.

** One possible reason why [[StalkerWithACrush Quiche]] is the [[FanPreferredCouple fan-preferred pairing]] for Ichigo in the West is that his EstablishingCharacterMoment, stealing Ichigo's SacredFirstKiss, is far less shocking to Westerners than it is to the Japanese. This is arguably not so much the case in a post-#MeToo era, where people now tend to be more sensitive to consent and the pitfalls of romanticizing predatory behaviour.

* VindicatedByHistory: Although Berry Shirayuki's popularity was as in the ground as the rest of ''A la mode'' when it was published, reception to her has warmed in recent years, particularly in the Tumblr fandom.
* WTHCastingAgency: Masaya (a.k.a. Mark)'s deep, middle-aged-sounding voice in the [=4Kids=] dub, especially since in the original Japanese version he was voiced by a woman.

* FanPreferredCouple: Masaya/Ichigo fans are a small minority, despite that being the OfficialCouple. Ichigo's other [[{{Harem}} harem boys]], [[AllGirlsWantBadBoys Ryou]] and [[StalkingIsLove Quiche]], are much more popular.

* AudienceAlienatingEra: Once Reiko Yoshida left the project, Mia Ikumi tried to write a sequel incorporating the retcons made in the TV show and replacing Ichigo with a new character named Berry. Ichigo herself [[BroughtDownToNormal lost her powers]] except as a living accessory to the new heroine, her origins and family life were completely ignored in favor of [[PutOnABus sending her to Europe]], and she became a washed-up hero. It's no surprise Tokyo Mew Mew a la mode has a high degree of FanonDiscontinuity amongst fans who also [[TheScrappy really dislike Berry]]. Berry herself has been MisBlamed, though; the real blame lies in the publishers, who, among other things, restricted the series to just two volumes when commissioning the sequel.
