Tokyo Mew Mew in a Nutshell: Difference between revisions

{{quote| ''"And that's when I found out my very first date was a tree!"''<br />

Created by Hika Yagami, ''[[Tokyo Mew Mew Inin Aa Nutshell]]'' is another [[Follow the Leader|imitator]] of ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Abridged Series|Yu-Gi-Oh the Abridged Series]]'' and an entertaining [[Fan Vid]] series in its own right.

Unlike LittleKuriboh[[Little Kuriboh]]'s magnum opus, which picked on [[4Kids! Entertainment|4Kids]]' [[Macekre|English dub]] of the series, ''Nutshell'' sets its satirical sights on [[Fan Dumb]] itself. Where [[Fan Fiction|fanfic]] portrays [[Die for Our Ship]] victim Aoyama Masaya as [[The Ditz]] and [[Revenge Fic|constantly kills him off]], here, he can't tell Ichigo from a tree and dies every episode only to reappear in the next one. Fans tend to forget the existence of Akasaka Keiichirou (Hika Yagami's self-admitted favourite character), so here, all his plot-important lines are changed to insane chatter about his ponytail. [[Rule 34]] subjects Aizawa Minto to [[Go-Go Enslavement|chains and whips]]; in ''Nutshell'', she's the one holding them.

Whether played completely straight or inverted, each character plays on a certain assumption of the fans that just didn't get it. While doing what ''YGO:TAS'' did would be safe and make sense (especially since ''[[Tokyo Mew Mew]]'' was also destroyed by 4Kids), the specific needs of the fans were catered to with a message they desperately needed: [[The Law of Fan Jackassery|big fandoms suck]], but we can laugh at them.
