Dungging Mew Mew (Cantonese: 東京喵喵; an actual translation of the original title) is the Cantonese Chinese dub of Tokyo Mew Mew. Like with the Mandarin dub, the show was almost a direct translation (with the exception of the attack names). Like with a bunch of other anime, there were 2 Cantonese dubs but the only one to get a video release was the AVP/Asian Video channel's version.
Music[]
In this dub, only the theme song was dubbed into Cantonese. The ending song and all the insert songs from the first half of the series remain in Japanese. The insert songs in the 2nd half of the series are replaced with instrumental music from the Tokyo Mew Mew soundtrack.
Home video release[]
Covers of both Cantonese VCD boxsets containing all 52 episodes.
All 52 episodes were dubbed and aired on the AVP/Asian Video channel in Hong Kong. Another Cantonese dub aired on the ATV channel as well but the AVP/Asian Video dub was the only one to be released on home video. All 52 episodes were released in 2 VCD boxsets with 2 episodes a disc (totaling 26 discs all together). There is also a DVD boxset release but seeing as they put all 52 episodes on 3 region 0 discs, it's most likely a bootleg.
Cuts and edits[]
Most of the show is uncut. The only things that were cut were in the last episode when Deep Blue was choking Ichigo and when Masaya was choking Deep Blue.
Name changes[]
Just like with the Mandarin dub, the names of the Mew Mews weren't actually changed but are Cantonese translations/pronunciations of their Japanese names, since most of their names are written from Kanji which is borrowed from the Chinese writing system (e.g., Chou-Mui means Strawberry and TouGung is the Cantonese pronunciation of the kanji characters that spell Momomiya).
