Tokyo Mew Mew Watch Order
Tokyo Mew Mew spans 3 TV entries totaling 76 episodes: the original 52-episode series (2002-03) and the two-season reboot Tokyo Mew Mew New (2022-23, 24 episodes total). The reboot retells the manga from chapter one, so the real decision is a fork: pick the modern New branch or the filler-heavy classic, not both.

Why this order?
Tokyo Mew Mew is not a franchise you watch straight through; it is a fork, and picking a branch is the whole ordering decision. The original 2002 series from Studio Pierrot is the complete classic adaptation: five girls infused with endangered-animal DNA fighting the alien Deep Blue across 52 episodes. But those 52 episodes stretch seven manga volumes, and 21 of them (episodes 5, 6, 8, 9, 14-16, 20, 22-24, 29-35, 39, 42, 43) are community-flagged Filler on MAL, a 40.4% filler density. Those flags are fan votes rather than official designations, but they mean the original branch is really a choice between the full 52 and a roughly 31-episode canon-only run.
Tokyo Mew Mew New (2022) is a from-scratch reboot, not a sequel. It re-adapts the manga from the very beginning with a new cast, no filler, and legal streaming, and its 2nd Season (2023) continues directly and finishes the story, 24 episodes total. It assumes zero knowledge of the 2002 series, which makes it the cleanest newcomer path. Watching original then New is a completionist double-run of the same plot, not a requirement in either direction.
One warning for anyone who grew up on Mew Mew Power: 4Kids licensed and renamed only the first 26 episodes, just 23 aired in the US before cancellation, and every title and character name was changed, so dub memories will not match any episode list. And never start at New 2nd Season; it picks up mid-story with no recap.

Frequently asked questions
How many Tokyo Mew Mew anime are there?
Three TV entries totaling 76 TV episodes: the original Tokyo Mew Mew (2002-03, 52 episodes) and the two-season reboot Tokyo Mew Mew New (2022, 12 episodes) plus Tokyo Mew Mew New ♡ 2nd Season (2023, 12 episodes). No movies or OVAs exist; the only extra is Petit! Tokyo Mew Mew New ♡ (43 one-minute promotional chibi YouTube shorts, 2022-23), which is skippable bonus material and not part of any watch order.
How many filler episodes does Tokyo Mew Mew have?
21 of the original 52 episodes are community-flagged Filler on MAL, a 40.4% density: episodes 5, 6, 8, 9, 14, 15, 16, 20, 22, 23, 24, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 39, 42, 43. Those are fan votes, not official designations. The Tokyo Mew Mew New reboot has zero filler.
Is Tokyo Mew Mew New a sequel or a remake?
A remake. It re-adapts the manga from the very beginning with a new voice cast and modern production; it is not a continuation of the 2002 series in any way.
Do I need to watch the original before Tokyo Mew Mew New?
No. New assumes zero prior knowledge and is the recommended modern entry point: 24 episodes across its two seasons, no filler, and legal streaming. Watching both branches means seeing the same story twice.
What is Mew Mew Power?
The 2005 4Kids English localization of the original series. Only the first 26 episodes were licensed and renamed, just 23 aired in the US before cancellation (all 26 aired in Canada and the UK), and the final 26 episodes were never dubbed. Every episode title and character name was changed (Ichigo became Zoey), so dub titles will not match any episode list.
Will there be a Tokyo Mew Mew New season 3?
No. Nothing has been announced since the reboot concluded in June 2023, verified as of August 2026. The 2nd Season finishes the manga's story, so the reboot branch is complete at 24 episodes.
Where can I watch Tokyo Mew Mew?
The New reboot streams on HIDIVE (including the HIDIVE channel on Prime Video, sub and dub) with digital purchase on Amazon, as of this writing. The original 2002 series is not on major US streamers and never got a full official English release; 4Kids only handled the first 26 episodes and released no home video in North America. Availability varies by region.
Is Tokyo Mew Mew a la Mode animated?
No. A la Mode is a manga-only sequel (2003-04) that introduces a sixth Mew, Berry, and neither anime adapts it. The reboot ends where the original manga ends.
