Music[]
The opening and ending songs are nearly identical to the original Japanese in terms of translation but the music instrumentals were redone, giving it a remixed sound. Insert songs (ex: episode 16 and 26) were replaced with songs made by the dubbing studio or even openings from other Korean dubbed anime (ex: In episode 26 "Glider" was replaced with the Korean dubbed opening of Fushigi Yuugi).
Home Video Release[]
All 52 episodes of Berry Berry Mew Mew aired on the SBS channel in South Korea. Later it was released on VHS(26 volumes with 2 episodes on each tape) by SCM. VOD used to be available on SBS's Korean website have since been deleted. It was never given a DVD release.
2 Korean boxes containing episodes 1-8 on 4 VHS tapes.
Cuts and Edits[]
Since the Korean dub was made with a younger demographic in mind, there were some minor cuts and edits done to the show but none bad enough to actually change the plot in any way.
In some scenes, Kisshyu's pants are raised up to keep his stomach lines from showing and the blood on him was removed in episode 39. All close up, onscreen human kissing was cut out but it was still said by the characters that Kisshyu stole Berry's first kiss and that she has to get kissed to turn into a cat and back, so kissing wasn't totally taken away from the show. The Chimera Anima in episode 51 was also edited slightly to keep its breast lines from showing. Despite that, all the death and dark tones of the 2nd half of the series were kept in.
