Ichigo is the first character to appear in my fan comic, and Satoshi Ishino has by far, or had, the best character art in TMM 2002, to get his Style right, I followed Ishino and redrew the character designs by Mari Kitayama.

I decided that it was a good time to give the animation directors of Tokyo Mew Mew the credit they deserve. So everyday, all this week, I will post up a photoset of Mew Ichigo screencaps from certain episodes with the name of the animation director. I'll go through the solo directors first and the last post will have the last director and episodes featuring multiple directors.

First up is Koichi Usami, whose style is simple yet consistent with minimal mistakes. One cool thing is that this director got to go full circle by doing the first and last episode. It's also fun to compare how much the animation evolved between the two (a.k.a. - No budget vs. decent budget XD).

Black Cat: Episode 18

Episode 18: "The Cat Deploys" Before watching this episode, on a scale of 1-10, how much are you looking forward to seeing it again? Well the previous episode was a disappointment. Hopefully this one's not. 5.

Favorite screencap:

Ellie: "You leave me no choice. I activate my hidden power, super pouty sad face!"

Train's chat with Lin.

Least favorite moment:

Creepy!

What's one thing you noticed/realized about this episode that you hadn't before?

I had a hunch, but really I was puzzled as to how the veil could be used. Now I know.

On a scale of 1-10, how would you rate this episode? There we go, that's the episode I was thinking last time should've been. 7. Celebrate it! Keeping with the tradition of my DC Rewatch Project, here's a haiku. Lin Shaolee appears

Sweepers head for the island

To face Creed head on

Next Episode: Episode 19
