Some people are trying to 'save' Tokyo Mew Mew. While I personally think it's an insipid show with cardboard characters, the principle of the thing makes me want to say, hey, that's not right. The thing that makes anime popular is that even a kid's show that is basically just an ad for toys will at least sometimes try to have a bit of continuity, and maybe even some character development. I may be
blah at Naruto's flashback laden fights, or wonder how merely being genki(cheerful, healthy) makes you the most popular girl in the world, but at least one episode will try to follow the other, or maybe the characters will at least stay in character.
Also, while anime is usually created by a bunch of suits, at least these suits can make all pieces of the anime fit their effect. These suits are just fiddling around with another set of suits' work trying to make it fit into the poll of the day, and they don't have the freedom the suits did- they have to at least have a bit of the original animation in there, even if they change the dialogue and the music...
