Tokyo Mew Mew New Reveals Episode Count, Opening

Tokyo Mew Mew New has kicked off its official reboot series this Summer, and not only has it revealed its new opening theme sequence but revealed how many details it will be sticking around for this season! The Summer 2022 anime schedule is a pretty tightly packed one as there are a number of major franchises drawing fans’ attention this time around. It’s a Summer full of the returns for some pretty huge franchises, and this includes some major reboots to classics such as Reiko Yoshida and Mia Ikumi’s Tokyo Mew Mew original manga series from the very early 2000s.

This new rebooted take on the series has finally premiered its first episode, and it’s already a huge hit with fans. With the release of its first episode, the official website for the series confirmed that its big return will be lasting for 12 episodes as sold across three Blu-ray and DVD volumes in Japan. With the original series running for much longer, there’s a good chance this reboot will too but it’s far too early to tell. For now, you can enjoy the opening theme titled “Cat!! Shite SuperGirls” as performed by the series’ main group, Smewthie. Check it out below:
