What We Think

Tokyo Mew Mew is mostly innocent magical girl fare, steering clear of modern ‘woke’ trends. Its narrative and characters focus on lighthearted adventure rather than ideology, making it pretty safe and non-woke by today’s standards.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Tokyo Mew Mew largely follows classic magical girl tropes, with character arcs and personalities taking precedence over identity themes. Diverse powers and personalities among the cast are typical for the genre, and representation appears rooted in standard anime conventions rather than contemporary ideological motives.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show generally embraces themes of friendship, teamwork, and even has some traditionally feminine and masculine traits. While it centers around a group of girls, gender roles are not subverted in a modern ideological sense, and the story doesn’t attack family or tradition.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative perspectives are not villainized; there is little to no overt ideological messaging. Conflict is classic good-versus-evil rather than a platform for social commentary. Even for an early 2000s anime, it stays away from culture war talking points.
