The episodes of the Tokyo Mew Mew New anime series are based on the manga series of the same name written by Reiko Yoshida and illustrated by Mia Ikumi. The episodes focus on five girls infused with the DNA of rare animals that gives them special powers and allows them to transform into "Mew Mews". Led by Ichigo Momomiya, the girls protect Earth from aliens who wish to "reclaim" it. It is a reboot/remake of the original series.

A new anime adaptation was announced to commemorate the manga's 20th anniversary.[1] It was later revealed that the adaptation would be animated by Yumeta Company and Graphinica, and directed by Takahiro Natori, with Yuka Yamada handling the series' scripts, Satoshi Ishino designing the characters, and Yasuharu Takanashi composing the music. New cast members were chosen to play the Mew Mews through a public audition held in Q2 2020,[2] and they would also be promoting the anime as an idol group named Smewthie as their characters.[3] The group also sings the opening and ending themes for the series. The opening theme is "Cat! We Are Super Girls" (Cat!!してSuperGirls, Catto!! Shite SuperGirls) and the ending theme is "Heartbeat Once-in-a-Lifetime" (トキメキ☆イチゴいちえ, Tokimeki Ichigo Ichie).[4] A special ending theme for episode 12, "My Sweet Heart" (New ver.) (my sweet heart~にゅ~♡Ver.~, my sweet heart~Nyū~♡Ver.~), was sung by Yūki Tenma, as Ichigo Momomiya.

The first season aired from July 6 to September 21, 2022, on TV Tokyo.[5][6][7] A second season was announced at the end of the twelfth episode, which aired from April 5 to June 21, 2023.[8] The opening theme for the second season is "Megamorphose" (めがもるふぉ～ぜ♡, Megamorufōze) and the ending theme is "Can-do Dreamer".[9]

Sentai Filmworks has licensed the series outside of Asia and streams it on Hidive.[10]
