Call it evolution, this news of an upcoming Powerpuff Girls ANIME is bound to keep people talking for a while:

This was presented at the Tokyo international animation fair, and yes people, this is actually NOT a joke, it's REAL, 100% GENUINE.

The series will premiere under the title of "Powerpuff Girls Z", as you can see, the Girls look closer to the drawings used in the popular PPG Doujshini comic strip found on the 'Net

Now, before I hear the usual "PPG Sold out?" questions, keep in mind the original girl designs was heavily inspired by Astro Boy.

Wow. I actually do hope that one is real.

Good gravey.

Let's just hope it can be as funny as the Powerpuff Girls were at their best. And let's hope that the anime gets the American cast for the dub (that could make it even funnier).

I'd certainly watch it. I've seen some episodes of the Powerpuff Girls in Japanese, apparantly it's rather popular over there.

what makes me think is are they gonna be the same age as they were in the origonal series, or are they gonna be teens. from the looks of it, they are way taller than they once were

Well, they're kindergartners in the original series, so that would make them 7 years at the very oldest (kindergartners are usually 5 or 6, 7 is an extreme).

So in order for them to have that kind of build, they'd have to be teenagers in this new series.

But, of course, this is anime we're talking about. And anime seems to be all about 10 year olds with huge breasts for some reason. My guess is the age of consent in Japan is anything past a fetus.

You've never seen the original version have you?

It ain't exactly a Kids W.B show, there are lesbian and gay undertones in it.

GK Punk

04-02-2005, 08:51 AM

Actually, That's the only version I've seen. I was watching it Via fansubs when it was new in Japan. But it's not perverted, Tomoyo just is in love with Sakura. and it comes off Very Sweet and Innocent.

The only Gay overtone is Yuki and Sakura's brother, and they never even actually say anything about it. They just come across as gay.

There's no panty shots, they don'tuse the girls as sex objects. But Of course what do I know. I'm apparently an idiot.

And I heard Toei was going to animate this project.

DrSpengler

04-02-2005, 07:06 PM

Not digging these new "powers" they have. I'll reserve judgement until I see em in action, but it looks like "just another magical girl anime" when Powerpuff Girls was entertaining on several levels. I can understand Bubbles having...bubbles, and Blossom having a mallet...but why does Blossom have a yo-yo? What's that got to do with her personality.

Hopefully, because this is deemed a "kid's show", the Japanese won't feel the need to dumb it down so much that it only appeals to children and retarded otakus. But Japan DOES have a reputation for doing that. You should see how they butchered Transformers half the time...

04-02-2005, 07:13 PM

Hmm...not what I was really expecting from this, the animation just looks crap, especially by Toei standards if there the guys producing it.

It seems Japan have no faifth in characters that are'nt thier own developing with what they already possess, so they provide them new abilities to make them appeal more to thier audiences, most of which include combining thier chracters into one being, this almost ALWAYS happens. Transformers, Digimon, Shinzo, you name it, they've done it, expect us to see all of the PPGs to form thier retarded fourth sister "Bunny"

I thought it was hilarious. One thing I enjoy is Japanese versions of American cartoons, and vice-versa. They butcher our stuff just as much as we butcher there's.

Another horrible Japanese attempt at a fine American icon was the Spider-Man manga from the 70's.

Here's a taste of the idiocy...

Origin of the Lizard:

A scientist (not named Kurt Conners, he had some Japanese name I can't remember off the top of my head) for a pharmacutical corporation was exploring in an African jungle when his partner double-crossed him and shoved
him off a cliff. He woke up in a valley populated by giant reptiles. In order to survive he acted like the reptiles and eventually his body underwent a "Darwinian change" (their words, not mine). And now he's able to transform into the Lizard at will!

Yeah...BAD.

One thing I don't like about this new design is how the Professor looks...

Well it's official.... PPGZ that is.... Found some info on it on one of the news sites I go to:

http://www.cartoonbrew.com/

At the recent Tokyo Animation Fair, Toei Animation, Aniplex and Cartoon Network announced a new series tentatively titled DAMESHITAA! POWERPUFF GIRLS Z. So the POWERPUFF GIRLS, an American cartoon that was originally inspired by Japanese anime, has now been optioned by the Japanese and translated back into a very conventional-looking piece of TV anime. Noticeable differences in the new version are that the Powerpuff Girls are now older, have fingers instead of stub-hands, carry weapons, and the Professor has been turned into an angry-looking preschooler.

They each have weopons: Blossom has what appears to be a yoyo, Bubbles has umm..bubbles?, and Buttercup has a hammer:

Yeah, and they killed him off after 2 or 3 issues. He got eaten by alligators, of all things. It was pretty lame, but apparantly the Spider-Man manga was quite popular in Japan in the 70's and lasted quite a while. Most of it has never been released in America.

Are you serious? What about the Beat-alls? I don't many kids understood the humor in that. Or the episode where the girls became Spawn, Wonder Woman, and anime parodies? Or the pokes at Star Wars? The show wasn't totally geared towards children.

I'm told that the original title was "The Whoopass Girls," even. But I'm not totally sure on that.

Pretty much every Anime that has come out in the last Ten years has been complete crap. I miss old school anime. And Otaku's make me laugh, because the term was coined in Japan in reference to an insane anime fan that murdered and raped a woman because he could no longer tell the difference between fantasy and reality. (there is a news story on this if you search for it, I'm just too lazy)

I have a number of anime DVDs, but they're typically pretty "American-friendly", usually ones based off of video games or aren't very "Japanesey" (like Cowboy Bebop or the Guyver).

Yeah. I've been a follower of the Japanese language/culture/music for about 2 years now, and I have to agree. I can tell the difference between someone who knows their stuff and someone who thinks they know (aka otakus). There's plenty of morons out there, and they're mostly teenagers who watch stuff like Inuyasha and because they know Do As Infinty - Fukari Mori and BoA - Every Heart ~Minna no Kimochi~, they think they know Japan. Yeah, okay. Keep thinking that.

Honestly, the otakus "vocabulary" usually consists of buzz-words such as:

If some little sh*t says "I hate that baka!" I want to kill them. If they're a serious student of the language and they say "Ano baka na hito ga sukijanai da yo!" then I'm a little less inclined to hate them, as they're displaying an actual knowledge of Japanese.

I work at Suncoast Video, and it's apparantly THE hang-out for mentally-stunted otakus (mostly because we have a very large anime selection).

Some jerkwad was hassling a kid, who couldn't have been any older than 9, because she was pronouncing the word "sake" incorrectly. Most Americans pronounce it "sah-key", but apparantly that little punk couldn't handle it and started telling the girls that it was pronounced "sah-kay" and wouldn't leave them alone.

I walked over to him and told him, in Japanese, that Americans prnounce it "sah-key" and that he should just leave them alone.

Of course, his response was "OMG you speak Japanese! OMG that's so sugoi! LOL! OMG you watch Ranma!?!"

The point was lost on him and he wouldn't leave me alone.

I HATE OTAKUS.

Hey! Us Otaku aren't THAT bad.... I don't go around saying words like Kawaii or Karai (which means hot/spicy BTW) :P or whatever..... I just watch Anime and write anime related fan fics and read the manga's.... Yes im a MAJOR Sailor Moon fanatic....I created a character named Sailor Krypton... :lol: Im also a Tenchi fan and a DB/Z/GT fan (Vegeta is hot!! :evilgrin: )... I actually research what the names of the characters meant... I even had pet rats named Videl, Chichi, and Bulma... :lol:... I do alot of research on stuff first....

I know plenty of sane Otaku... :P

Oh and here's a picture of Sailor Krypton..I might change her look tho:

She's part Gargoyle.... her mate is Lexington... :evilgrin:

Ok, first off, I don't think that did any otaku much justice...

Second, how could anyone possibly like Vegeta??? He's an ass. Seriously. I've had about two people in my life that are like him, and they were pretty much jerk-offs. I came pretty close to kicking one of them in the groin...

Anyway... About two years ago I was on the road to otaku... and yes, it was scary...

I can agree that otaku are some pretty sick people...
I like sane people who have an appreciation for anime/manga... but I say NO to otaku.

Yes, I do like to occasionally watch anime and read manga... but for me, it's more of an appreciation for the art as an artist.

Anyway.... back on topic... I'm still really peeved about the Professor being so young and small...
I'll be so ticked if one of the girls developes a relationship with the professor. That's just not right. :dead:

Meh...I just think he's hot...*shrugs*.... I know other peeps who think that about Vegeta as well.....

It's official: Japan suck when it comes to adapting U.S shows.

This anime seems to have a very "Osamu Tezuka" kind of style.

The Powerpuff Girls really are'nt dead yet as far as the original series is concerned, Craig Mckraken has confirmed it's only on hiatus:

No they are not canceled. The voice actors are busy with other careers that in time they will get back together to make more episodes. Tom Kenny was hosting the Nickelodeon's Kids Choice Awards '05 and making new Spongebob shows. Tara Strong is working with new shows of The Fairly Oddparents, Elizabeth Daily is currently busy with the Rugrats All Grown Up that she won't be done for a while. Catherine Cavadini is taking a break for now with another show for me. As for I, I am producing Foster's Home For Imaginary Friends and will continue until the season is over. Hanna Barbara and Fredetor are working with the animations of the new updates of The Powerpuff Girls. For now they are just showing old episodes and later on in the summer they will come back.

That's not a bad thing IMO. I think that's one of the things I like so much about it. That and Bubbles = Teh Adorable. (Please tell me Tara Strong is doing her voice in the US version...)

Japan = teh suk

I'm sorry. All you otaku's just need to know that.

Agh, Otakus... hell, those buggers are annoying. There was this one guy in my comic shop, I am a regular there since 1999 and people sometimes ask me whether this or that series is good. Goes for US-Stuff as well as JP-stuff. Anyways, there was this one bloke who asked me whether the Pokémon Manga was good. I then said that it was utter **** and almost redrawn by the US-censorship-people. That sort of ticked another otaku along with the guy asking me off. The other guy went "Somethingsomething baka" and I went "F*** you". Either he wasn't expecting a comeback or a good laugh, but he did look very puzzled. Anyways, silly people. Very silly.

I agree *nods* It's certainly not a bad thing at all. I too like that about the style. I was just making a notification. :)
I enjoy Osamu Tezuka's work... especially Astro Boy. :D

I don't really watch anime. I don't really like what i've seen with the exception of cowboy bebop. But what is Otaku?

An Otaku is a moron. More details here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otaku)

Well, either that or they're shallow-minded individuels who think they know everything about Japan because they watch anime.

Well here's an interesting thing.... Now I love crossovers and I love webcomics... and I love crossover webcomics.... here's one called Powerpuff Girls Doujinshi (I was emailed the addy)

Yes it's a Manga.... At the start the girls and Prof Utonium have moved out of townsville to Megaville and the girls are now in the 1st grade at a school where Samurai Jack (he owns Courage the Cowardly dog *L*) teaches(Dude! There's a Dojo at the school! )... :o

Other students at the school are:
Billy and Mandy (yes Grim is in the comic too)
Dexter (who now is responsable for Megas XLR)
The Rowdy Ruff Boys (I.M. Weasel is part of their clique apperantly)
Invader Zim
Gaz (from Invader Zim)
Dib (from Invader Zim)
Tootie (Fairly Odd Parents)
Suzy (Johnny Bravo...she now has the majors for Samurai Jack..)

Im reading it from the very beginning (there's one comic that warns against watching too much Anime.... Buttercup is a DB/Z/GT fan and thinks she's a Super Saijan.... :lol: Bubbles dresses up like Sailor Moon...)
