Sword-chan- I think I should keep doing this for the promised 7 chapters to keep me…
Ciara- -randomly pops in- Supersonic, hyp-notic funky FRESH!
Sword-chan- … No. On top of the little writing skill I have… REVIEW REPLIES!
Kaggierain- I'm glad I updated, too!
I agree (But I'm not saying the respectful ones, or non-bratty cute 4-year-olds are. I simply pity them for not reading the credits .)
Drgnmstr-Alex- Hee hee. I don't think you're gay, no worries! I watched the Sailor Moon dub, too, but since I'm considerably probably younger, I was only about 5. BUT I saw Usagi writing in her notebook and there was some kanji on the spine they had forgotten to erase (They aren't so careless anymore. DRAT!). So I came to the conclusion it was either Chinese, Korean, or Japanese. But I read the credits and saw the creators last name, heh, and I remembered something about Chinese names and Korean names being two syllables… Long story how I learned that… So it's for another day… If at all.
Ember Mage- I don't categorize this as a flame. A flame is what MMP Girl left- I do not believe all reviews should be sugary and fairyed up, just because I don't get very many flames. And because I like the word fairyed o-o
First off, I never said 'If Ikumi and Yoshida were in the same room as Kahn, I'm pretty sure how they would act'. This is FICTION and COMEDY. It isn't supposed to be realistic, and some people laughed at what I wrote there.
FANFICTION- a fictional account written by a fan of a show, movie, book, or video game to explore themes and ideas that will not or cannot be explored via the originating medium; also written fan fiction, also called fanfic That definition is straight from See that bolded part? That's BASICALLY what I always do- I explore the idea that Ichigo likes Kishuu and not Aoyama for one reason or another—That he is a crackhead, that she, being human, simply had a change of heart, that Pai with his all Pai-ie brains went back in time and made sure the whole insident never happened, but fate does it's own thing and Ichigo is all freaked out and thinks Masaya will kill her, that Masaya changed heart… Et cetera. Then expand. Fanfiction was not created for the sole purpose of writing a new story to the thing you're a fan of the exact way the story goes- That is just one of the many, many purposes fanfiction has.
As for 4-Kids' jobs, their job is to dub 'the best of Japan's children anime.' Tokyo Mew Mew, while being an anime made for young girls, was not a show where all the girls were a stereotype- Pretty snob, nerd, pretty and nice, prep, and 'cheerleader', and all still talking like Valley Girls-, obsessed with 'zit checking', talking to oneself in rap form, chanting odd chants that did, well, nothing in battle, and being a 'cool teen in love'. Some things- Like taking out body lines- I understand, but some cuts and edits are un-called for and make the story difficult to follow.
The rest are your opinions that I cannot shake, and I will go no further. As your review was just your opinion and not a flame, this is just my opinion on your opinion and not a flame. Good day.
TalasTwinSister- Thankyou .
Hiro Konobu- Thankyou. I do know a few people who like Mew Mew Power, some are quite nice an even started to get the manga and like the Japanese better than 4-Kids-ia. Only two were like the fans I wrote about (Who don't exsist), but they never had the courage to face me, they only kept putting letters in my desk, locker, et cetera, which is sad considering they went to my own school. -shrug- Aaaanyway, thank you much.
Amme Moto- Drat is right. Was it in script form? Cuz they all the sudden went on a scripty delete spree a few months ago. I hope you don't get deleted, but drop me your new account as soon as you can, pweez x3
Thanks for your review replies, guys. I'll try to review other fics more –dies-
Anna Sena- Ehm. Oops o-o I KNEW THAT! No, seriously, I did… But there was this part of my brain saying that since she lived in Japan at all maybe she counted as a Japanese citizen. I DUNNO! –more deaths-
X.x.X- Cuts And Mr PaintBucket –X.x.X
I sighed. "O.k, Kahn's back… Unfortunatly," The little girls breath smelled better, no matter how how horrid they were, I added silently, wistfully, Sort of like mangos. Or maybe it was just her 'totally mad-rad' lipgloss. Heh.
"Anyways, tooooooooodaaaaaaay we're discussing cuts and Mr. PaintBucket A.K.A art editing," I paused, "But Mr. Paintbucket sounds more like a fruit than art editing,"
"I disagree," Kishuu interjected, "I think art editing sounds more like a fruit… Reminds me of celary…"
"Celary isn't a fruit…"
"So?"
"Anyways, let's jab at him and stuff like the people we are," I suggest heartily. Pai and Taruto silently begain making popcorn. But before I could start Kahn-jabbing, a voice pierced the air… The voice of non other than…
"Iiiiichigo!" Masaya Aoyama. Now, to show I support the actual story of Tokyo Mew Mew to, ehm, people, I will tell you I don't have the hugest problem with Machigo. It can be cute, once I get past the fact that I think Kichigo has better chemistry and Masaya has a humongous head. But I did NOT want him to come back. Oooh no. But he just HAD to because he has a few cuts. Bleh.
"O.k! Wait—Is my mic on?" he tapped the microphone.
"No," I said, holding back from adding 'idiot' at the end. Then Masaya got his kendo look on… Which is a 9.5 on Ichigo's swoony factor. APPARENTLY.
"Kishuu!" I whisper-warned, "Put on your… Um… BATTLE FACE!" He did. I could sorta see Ichigo's scale becoming confused and blowing up. In my, um, mind.
"WHY?" Masaya burst out, falling to his knees, "WHY do you cut out Mr. Cicada? He was so… SO LOVABLE! And so… SO CUTE!" Mr. Kahn backed away, like, 'Omigod. Japanese people ARE weird and unhealthy,'.
"Is that all?" I inquired impatiently of a sobbing Masaya.
"Yes," he mumbled.
"Then you may go and sit,"
"WHEE! Sitting is fun. Right? Ichigo, will you sit with me?"
Uh-oh.
"Um… Sure!"
UH-OH. Well this SUCKED.
"Let's start at the beginning," I said hastily, deciding to leave Masaya and Ichigo. It's not like Kishuu would really let anything happen.
"EPISODE 12!"
"1," Kahn corrected.
"Yeah, whatever," I snarled, looking over my paper.
"First episode… I'll go over the major cuts… O.K, this isn't really a cut, but the opening sequeance is kinda… Randomized. Not TOO bad though," my eyes flicked over to Kahn, who looked pleased. Maybe he thought he had sucsessfully brainwashed me while I slept last night, or something.
"But it was still bad," I said, smiling, "Oh, and why did you cut out Ichigo talking about the Mew Mews? I mean, you don't even start off with Ichigo having to find them,"
"That's exactly why we cut it out!"
"But it wasn't the first episode! IT WAS THE 12th!"
"It was the one with all of the girls battling at once,"
"Believable," I decide, "But pathetic! Why you cut out her flashback of the dream is understandable, considering you didn't START WITH THE FIRST EPISODE!" I scream.
"Don't worry, she's nuts!" Kishuu chirped for the gazzillionth time.
"The dream was cool, though!" Purin insisted, "With bubbles! BUBBLES!" Then Ryou chimed in.
"You cut my speech! MY SPEECH!" he was obviously depressed.
"KIDS DON'T CARE ABOUT…" Kahn paused to spit on the concrete floor, as if the words tasted bad, "NATURE!"
"Blaphsh—I don't know that word…" I remarked sadly (Blaphshmemy? Blaphshemy!), "But anyways! I did!"
"You're WEIRD," Minto reminded me.
"Thank-broom," I replied cheerfully, but soon lowered my voice again, to continue, "As for Mr. Paintbucket, the first thing I saw was her body shadows and stuff… They were kinda screwed up," I point to pictures- A, the original, and Z, the dub. Why I skipped over B-Y I have NO CLUE.
"But that's obvious why. Strange, though, how you expect parents to respect their child to be influenced on dating at the age of- What, 7? Far to young… And not chest development? But whatever…" I sigh, "That's just America for you… Oh, I shouldn't say that… Other countries--- AAH I RAMBLE! NEXT!" All the sudden Kishu burst in.
"YOU CUT MY PAUSE! I wanted to make my laugh DRAMATIC! Like she was WEAK! You cut it!"
"We wanted to make you ruthless!" a minion insisted.
"But… But I love my koneko…" he took a second to look sad and sulked away. I shifted my eyes from him to the table.
"Uh, that was kinda pointless, but you had to do it with that 6 extra seconds you added…" I rolled my eyes, "But, anyways… you cut EVERYTHING Kishuu says to Ichigo… It's like you want to turn him into MORE of an ANTISOCIAL! HE DOESN'T NEED TO BE THE NEXT RENEE! Oh, yay, we're onto the next epi already!" Kahn looked trapped.
"We have a lot of Paintbucket from the beginning! Just kana and stuff… But why didn't you fill in the banners? WHO WANTS BLANK BANNERS!"
"MAYBE THE WERE SCHOOL COLORS!" Kahn suddenly yelled. I slunk back, noticing he had this vain that was throbbing. Um, oops?
"O.K… Next is… Well, besides some obvious erasing or what was in the premiere episode… There isn't so much Mr. Paintbucket. Hm," I look at him suspciously. He tried to look innocent… Scary picture.
"Cut… 'Hey, this is such a cute café! WE SHOULD GO THERE SOMETIME!' CUUUUT! JAGGEDLY CUT WITH PLASTIC SCISSORS!"
"CALM DOWN!" Kishuu screamed, then rushed to save Ichigo from me. That's… Comforting…?
"I'm JUST GETTING STARTED! THE MOST IMPORTANT SCENE… ALMOST… IS CUT! FIFTY SECODNDS! FIFTY! No falling soda machines, Ichigo is not in the happy—I mean, bubble place, no cat… NADA! All flashbacks are CUT'D TOO! I HATE YOU!" Screaming, I lunge for him, but his minions almost poke my eye out with their spear thingies. Drat.
"You cut out my pooooose," whined Ichigo, "It was cute! Oh, and when I kinda freak. Cut,"
"Yeah… I liked that strawberry background, too," I paused and wiped a little tear from my eye.
"Kay, now I have to speeeeed things up cuz I think I'm making this a tad to lengthy," I explain in a rush, looking at the clock, "You cut out Minto's pretty ceilings. Bad. They were PRETTY! O.k… No close up of bruises. Bad. You're supposed to make it seem like she cares. More worry cuts… Then the thing where they touch hands and blush and act all cute. Yep. Cut. WHY? Uugghh… Anyways, no logic in any of these…" I start leafing through my cut list, "Cut of EVERYTHING about Miki/Mickey… Except, the battle and stuff… You cut the beginnings and ends of transformations and put in that cheesy slogan… Euw… NEXT EPISODE! Ichigo like NEVER thinks. You cut it all out! She never works either!"
"I'm not lazy!" Ichigo interjects.
"Of course not, kitten," Kishuu croons, sticking his tongue out at Masaya.
"Of course not, Ichigo," I say, just sort of wanting to mimic Kishuu, "But… Anyway… You cut the 100KG block thing falling on her head… I learned measurment units when I was 7, and we used the same text book as at least half of the elementary schools in the nation… The Jim Wesley thing or whatever… And you cut… KISHUU AND ICHIGO'S KISS! O.K, he sort of kissed TO her, but still. NOT GOOD. You want them to KNOW he likes her. Yes?
"In the next episode, you cut a lot of short shots… Simplistic beauty, as I say… Then you take out Kishuu's leg-line-abs-whatever. I can sorta understand that, you having the mentality of a giggly 6-year-old, minus the giggles…
"Kishuu STILL doesn't TALK TO HER! Ugh… Poses cut… Not to bad, for this episode…
"No thinking or musing, still. Sad. They're supposed to have brains, Mister! I THINK. De-kana-fi-cation… Then you cut stuff and squash some transformations together and play this little jam thing… Something about 'not how we dress or what we possess.' Erika was singing it earlier, I think… And Ichigo doesn't hug the seal! HOW COULD YOU?
"Anyway, I think our readers about get the idea. This was basically a long and boring meeting…" I paused, thinking.
"I really need to work on my ramblings…"
X.x.X
Sword-chan- I talk to much.
Kishuu- -to no one in particular- Don't worry, she's nuts!
Sword-chan- You're getting to say that too often.
Kishuu- Don't worry, you're nuts!
Sword-chan- … I know…
