Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

Anime series in general tend to hit Dork Ages when the anime overtakes the manga and, as a result, goes into a Filler Arc.
Once Yoshida Reiko left the Tokyo Mew Mew project, Ikumi Mia tried to write a sequel incorporating the retcons made in the TV show and replacing Ichigo with a new character named Berii. Ichigo herself lost her powers except as a living accessory to the new heroine, her origins and family life were completely ignored in favor of sending her to Europe, and she became a washed-up hero. It's no surprise Tokyo Mew Mew a la mode has a high degree of Fanon Discontinuity amongst fans who also really dislike Berii.
There's a probability of Bleach entering this with The Lost Agent arc, with a new set of characters we've never seen before, whole new kinds of powers, a plot that is almost completely unrelated to everything we've seen before, and the overall feeling of the filler arcs from the anime.
To be fair, all the new stuff got added because just about every big plot point up until got resolved except for two, the fact that Aizen's still alive, and Ichigo losing his Shinigami powers. One of them is being handled in this arc, and the other one fans do not want to show its face again for quite a while.
Lupin III has the pink-jacket era, which consists of the third anime series and the Legend of the Gold of Babylon. Both the series and the movie had Lupin wearing apink jacket, most of the adult themes downplayed and the slapstick brought Up to Eleven. Today, it is widely ignored by both the anime producers at TMS Entertainment and most fans in general.
