The Powerpuff Girls Ain't Dead Yet

*ZariusTwo* · 04-01-2005, 02:34 PM

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.

*DrSpengler* · 04-01-2005, 03:20 PM

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.

*Anarky* · 04-01-2005, 03:23 PM

Cool, I do like that idea... hehe, I wonder what the Japanese will make from it.

*Raph's Girl* · 04-01-2005, 03:37 PM

Are they nuts?! They gave Buttercup a weopon?!

That Buttercup....she's such a Raphael type... and yes she's my fave PPG....

But the Professor looks like Elvis now

I'm not afraid to say that I watched Powerpuff Girls whenever they were on, and I really like what they did to them. The anime look suits them pretty well.

So did everybody else...at least until they released the movie, after which Mckraken left the series and it completly fell apart

**Jester** · 04-01-2005, 04:18 PM

So that's why it never felt the same after the movie...interesting....I liked it...especially the early stuff...it was hilarious...

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.

*nods* good point...

愛 · 04-01-2005, 05:57 PM

Age of consent in Japan is 13. That's ridiculous.

.....why. That is so wrong.

*DrSpengler* · 04-01-2005, 06:06 PM

I suppose that explains Sailor Moon, Cardcaptors and hentai.

Go Japan!?!??

愛 · 04-01-2005, 06:09 PM

I guess so.

I don't know if I should say "Go Japan!" or "....EWW! BAD JAPAN! *whack*"

愛 · 04-01-2005, 06:15 PM

That's true....hmm..oh well.

Back to this...discussion thing here. If it will be anime style, I'm expecting big guns (both kinds), sweat drops, falling over to bad jokes, and maybe full episodes of just a bunch of people talking. I can't wait to see it.

EDIT: How could I have forgotten giant robots?

*DrSpengler* · 04-01-2005, 06:20 PM

Sounds like most everything the show already has...just drawn better.

I'm more looking forward to the villains. I wanna see an bad*ss Fuzzy Lumpkins.
