-Both shows have a lot of female characters that seem similar to the 5 mew mews in comparison to “mmmt.”

Ichigo/Zoey = Taruto (they both protagonists who tend to have similarity personality: funny, silly, & nice, both have food names)

Minto/Corina = Charolette (both mean girls, friends with the main protagonists and tsunderes)

Lettuce/Bridget= Chitose (both are softe-spoken characters, both wear green, and both act polite)

Pudding/Kiki = Cookie (both are short characters, have short hair styles, and both of their names are foods)

Zakuro/Renee = Chips (both act mean characters, both females, and both are food names) -except Chips is the villain on the show not a protagonist.

Aoyama/Mark= Nachos (since they both wear blue, have long hair well only if Mark is in his Blue Knight form, similiar personalities, both are male characters, and help the main protagonists most of the time).

-both shows share the same “magical girl” trope, which is very common in anime.

-both protagonists are children (even though Zoey is a teen, that still counts as a child). Same with the 5-6 mew mews I’ve mentioned in their group, similar to how it is with the Taruto characters when most of the vat furries are children.

-Both shows have similar genres: comedy, action, slide of life, thrillers, supernatural, mystery, fantasy, etc.

-Both shows aim or most likely for pg 13 + audiences.

-Both main protagonists in 2 of the shows are half human girl/half cat hybrid.

-both shows has animal furries or animal character (kakipi in “mmmt” is the only different animal species I know of). Than in “Tmm” its a mix of animal furriers).

-Mmmt & tmn similarities have similar initials. Which are often mistaken for calling the anime “magical mew mew Taruto” instead of “magical meow meow taruto” which this is the correct title.

-both shows have a lot of characters in them.

-Both protagonists wear bells (tartuo has a bell on her bow tie, while zoey has a bow on her tail).

-most of the female furries in “mmmt” wear dresses, same goes for most of the females in “tmm.”

-both main protagonists yell out their spells/commands. When they cast their spells at their opponent(s), when they prepare to attack. Such as taruto’s is “Great tiger meow, meow!” And Zoey’s is “Strawberry bell full power!”

-both have similar plots. Magical cat girl must defend/save the world cliche. But hard to save the world when it comes to romance.

-both shows are underrated.

-both protagonists have same eye colors (well only if zoey is in her mew form she has pink eye color. Which matches the same color as Taruto’s).

-both main protagonists have side kicks.

-Both shows were released in the early 2000s.

-both main protagonists always say their catch phrases. Taruto says “meow” while Zoey says “Mew mew style, mew mew brace, mew mew power in your face.” Or says “Nyah!~” in the original Japanese version of “Tokyo Mew mew.”

-Both have female progtagonists who have magical powers.

-Both have cute girl characters.

-both protagonists are children.

-both shows have a flying animals in them.

-both shows are underrated

-similar genres: supernatural, fantasy, comedy, adventure, and slice of life

-both shows ran in the early 2000s.

-both shows have almost the same amount of eps. “Bottle fairy” has 13, while “Magical Meow Meow Taruto” has only 12.

-Both shows have only 2 songs in their franchises. The intros and outros.

The reason why this anime “Magical Meow meow Taruto” is very similar to this other old anime “Princess tutu.” Is because:

-Both main protagonists have the same aliases as “Princess.” When both of them aren’t actual princesses in a magical kingdom or castle. That they live in. They are not royalty. That’s just what they’re called/aslias or named most of the time.

-Both main protagonist characters are half animal/half human hybrid. When Taruto is a half human half cat, while Princess Tutu/Duck is half human half duck (with a secret identity).

-Both protagonist are female role/leads, who clearly look like children.

-Both main protagonists are heroines.

-There’s a male in “MMMT” named Nachos who’s tall and has a crush on the protagonist, it’s similar to how it was in “Princess Tutu” When Fakir developed a crush on Princess Tutu/Duck. Later in that series.

-Both main protagonists wear dresses.

-both animes have boring main characters (Iori & the other is Mytho).

-both characters often say their animal sounds frequently throughout the series. Such as Taruto says “meow” while Duck says “Quack.” As their habit of sounding like their animal species.

-Both shows had featured ghosts in them.

-Both of the female protagonists’ close friend groups are 2 female friends with them most of the time.

-both animes were released in the 2000s (this one 2001 while “Princess Tutu” is 2002).

-Both Duck/Princess Tutu and Taruto have a very similar personalities: they both Niave, both are a klutz, young, cute, heroic, (oh my goodness they both almost sound the same too).

-Both animes have similar genres: magical girl/supernatural, romance, fantasy, mystery, a little nit of horror, comedy.

-both animes are underrated, no longer ongoing & their mangas ended in the same years (2003).

-Both intro & outros are boring to listen to. To the point repetitive (which I’d often skipped).

-Both shows feature villians which some of them are elderly/seniors.

-both Taruto and Duck have the same hair styles (braids), both are small/short character in stature/height, both are heroines, as the main protagonists, & they both aren't so smart too.

I can see these 2 animes have tons of similarities.
