Tokyo Fetish Mew was a fanime created by Missy R.
which was made to be a takeoff on Tokyo Mew Mew.
Tokyo Fetish Mew is no longer available online, as its creator has chosen to distance herself from it, noting in an official statement that it’s “aged poorly” and she no longer feels comfortable displaying a work including “jokes about [fetishes] when the characters involved are underage, even if it's not sexual.” The series was “made at a time when [she] didn't know better, but that has never been an excuse.”
The story was based on the character of Akane Shibari who joins forces with a bunch of other girls with various kinks in an attempt to fight off monsters created by puritans who want to enforce vanilla as the way to go. No one really wants to support this team and their ideals, so they're basically on their own.
There were ten episodes made and released.
This fanime contains examples of:
- Art Shift: The styles sometimes change with each frame, to the point where some frames are drawn by different people.
- Deliberately Monochrome: In episode 10, it starts out black and white as Akane starts to murder every one of her teammates, starting with Tomoko. As she injures every member, the saturation starts to increase until it is in full color again.
- "Everybody Laughs" Ending: At the end of Episode 5.Shizuka: Alright guys! The food is ready!Tomoko: Good. Now let's get to eating before Chiyo does.(Everyone laughs, followed by a Beat)Chiyo: Wait. That's not funny.
- Face–Heel Turn: In the final episode, Akane changes from Mew BDSM to Mew Guro and kills everyone else on her team.
