Damashitaa! Powerpuff Girls Z: Episode #1

Opening Sequence: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s816B...elated&search=

Episode #1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rgsIlgoJB_w

Ending Sequence: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BsukV...elated&search=

The episodes are about 8 minutes in length, just like in the American series, so that's the whole thing.

Personally, I dig the background music and some of the villain redesigns are rather inspired.


EDIT: Could a mod plese move this to TV/Movies? I'm stoopid.

Thanks for the links. The episode was pretty cool. I like anime MoJo-JoJo. Although, it is really just a PPG combo of DragonBall Z and Sailor Moon. Hmm....

And why did they stop fighting to eat ice cream! That was strange.

I think they were at the end of their power, that's why there was that loli-panting-moment at 6m05s.

The music is terrible and whatever happened to the more adult action of the original PPG? The animation quality's kinda bad, but the characters all look nice and I'm so glad they didn't give Ms. Bellum a face. It's just something I can laugh about everytime I see it... or not.

I also wanted to say, where is Ms. Keen? The Power Puff's teacher, she should be in the anime.

Going against the grain, I enjoyed it. It was cute and I liked alot of the character designs. Can't wait to see a sub of it.

Its almost sacreligious in a way. I always saw Cartoon Network's style as a sort of parody of the traditional anime style, but to see the Powerpuff Girls as a real anime.........ick. I'll leave it at that. If it were an original series, I'd probobly say something different, but seeing as it's the Powerpuff Girls.....yuck.

*edit*

On second thought, I'm being too harsh. I always do that it seems because I'm resistant to change. Its not all that bad, but I perfer the original.

Hey, that was pretty fun to watch. I like the character designs.

The Power Puff Girls fighting with weapons is still pretty new to me. I'll have to get used to that.

Hopefully there will be a dub version soon. And if so, it would be awesome to have the original PPG voice cast.

Well, it seems that the girls ain't in kindergarten anymore - they are now in school. So, no Ms. Keen this time... or maybe she was that grey-headed obese lady?

Anyway - just watched it. It was frigging strange, kinda amusing but definitely not as good as the TMNT anime. Where are their powers gone anyway? It seems that they are powered up by those "P" balls in their belts that don't last for long. And their new fearsome weapons - a yo-yo, a bubble-maker and a hammer, my ass.

The whole episode was rather boring, the fighting scenes weren't exciting at all, unlike in the original series. And the ice-cream break for everyone in the middle of the episode was lame, just like that earlier autograph moment. It made the whole episode even more boring.

But I have to agree, some of the character redesigns look rather interesting. Pity I don't speak Japanese, I might have missed some good unintentional puns.

Um guys. This isn't the same PPG at all. They are different characters based on the PPG. This isn't a sequel or anything like that, it's an all new series and all new continuity etc.

That's what makes me like at as much... if this was a sequel, it'd be horrible because of all the changes,

I don't even watch anime now, let alone magical girl cartoon shows.

So that's why the girls are now humanoid mutants with incredibly short skirts that puts Sailor Moon to shame and so bloody obnoxious that you'd want to strangle them. Those Japanese just keep on giving

What a piece of s*it, one more the Japanease prove there useless at adapting western shows, what's even morte ironic is that the original PPGs paid homage to Astroboy and other old school animes whilst containing great references to western culture and beyond.

You know, to be fair, this also works the other way around...

And what's up with Mojo needing candy? I remember, back in the day, he wanted things like, I dunno, world domination.
