* The whole concept of the Mew Project, if you think about it, is actually disturbing: Five girls, ages from 10 to 15, had their bodies altered ''without their permission'' and became half-humans, half-humans, and then have to fight aliens. Besides the psychological burden of having the fate of humanity on your shoulders, the violation of their basic rights and the physical alteration (despite played lightly) is ''bound'' to have effects as well. No wonder Retasu freaked out at first and Zakuro wanted nothing to do with the people responsible!!!

* The Mew Mew Mark is the point on the body where the girls were injecting with their genes. No one's is particularly concerning except for Purin's, which is on her forehead, meaning she got injected [[NoRangeLikePointBlankRange at point blank to the head.]] Let's hope it didn't cause any long term brain injuries...

*In episode 17, Quiche turns up at Ichigo's window and tries to take her with him. He knows where she lives, which probably means he's been stalking her all the way to her house. He also knows where Cafe Mew Mew is (the only alien to know until he told Pie and Tart). How much time has he spent stalking Ichigo?
