It's Official! Powerpuff Girls the Complete series - Page 2

*DrSpengler* · 09-30-2008, 07:21 PM

That's pretty cool. I feel sorry for the folks that bought the season 1 set, but $60 bucks is a great deal (the article doesn't say, but I presume this set also features the Whoop Ass Girls pilot and the two What a Cartoon! episodes, right?).

On a related note, anybody else check out the horrendous English dub of Power Puff Girls Z? The show was terrible to begin with, but I was hoping that the English dub would reunite the cast of the original series and maybe even be a self-parody (which could have been hilarious).

Nope. Cartoon Network cheaped out and outsourced all the voice acting with Canadian soundalikes. The script plays the whole thing straight, too. Very disappointing.

No, but thanks for letting me know I should avoid it. From the little I had seen of the fansubs, it looked too melodramatic for me, but I hoped they'd fix that if/when they dubbed it.

I've only seen the Japanese PPGZ, didn't even know they dubbed it.

Buttercup. To me she was just awsome and I still think she is.

And as for PPGZ, I thought they did an English dub, but I thought they only aired it in Sinapore or something 'cause I haven't seen or heard anything.

Edit: Ok so its actually the Philippians and the dub....yeah it doesn't seem the best. X_X

And of course, one of my favorite episodes... the one where Him wants the girls to solve a myriad of riddles, or the Professor will pay.... which ends with the best closing line ever:

"And so... the day is...uh...yeah..."

I totally agree Fuzzy & Him are my fave characters of the PPG.

1. F*ck Blossom, seriously.
2. The anime PPG pisses me off so bad. The Powerpuff Girls were unique because they could save the day by themselves, without weapons... F*ck you, anime!

F*CK EVERYONE AM I RIGHT

*Cure* · 09-30-2008, 10:29 PM

I actually liked the anime better.

Just kidding, f*ck that sh*t.

Is that in "I wanna..." or just "f*ck Blossom" in general?

Because Pedobear approves.

*Hannah* · 10-01-2008, 03:45 AM

No, that's in a "I hate you more than I hate real people, and I hate real people a lot" way.

*BubblyShell22* · 10-01-2008, 08:45 AM

My favorite PPG is Bubbles. I like he because she's cute and very bubbly, just like me. I see a lot of myself in Bubbles, so that's why I like her so much. However, the villains were awesome too. There were many great ones.

I had heard of this PPGZ, but I have never seen it. Have they dubbed it in the U.S. yet? If so, I might check it out, but I'm sure it's nothing like the original and never will be.

Jon, thanks for the release info. I'll make a note of that.

Ugh... PPGZ was supposed to be a parody of the "Magic Girl" Sailor Moon/Tokyo Mew Mew type shows... but it didn't look like a parody to me. A Parody is when you at least knowledge the stereotypes and conventions of a certain genre or product. If anything, it's so subtle, it tends to blend in with the others, rather than poke fun at them.

Jeez... and making it look like an anime, when PPG borrows cues from anime all the time? Bah! Balderdash!

*BubblyShell22* · 10-02-2008, 08:39 AM

I orignally heard that the Professor was going to be a little kid in this one, but they changed it so that it's his son. Does that mean he and Keane got married? I always thought they'd be cute together. Maybe she got rid of the cat so they could get together.

One of my favorite ending narration lines was at the end of "Los Dos Mojos."

Narrator: And so, the day is saved, thanks to Mojo Bubbles-I mean, the Powerpuff-Ah, heck, the day was saved. So says me, the Narrator. So called because I narrate the story. I create the plot. I begin and end each episode of Powerpuff Girls. Me, the Narrator."

Although I did like the one in "Him Diddle Riddle" and the fact that Him bet the Professor a free breakfast. That just cracked me up.

*Sage Ninja* · 10-02-2008, 05:26 PM

sweet. I think my favorite bad guys where Mojo Jo Jo, Him, Fuzzy Lumpkins (Get off of my Property!) and I forget the name of this villan but she had movable hair and could attack people with it. She disguised her self Ms. Belium once.

My favorite none villan characters where the mayor, and Miss Belium.

Jon · 10-02-2008, 05:31 PM

*Sage*

The villain you're trying to recall is Sedusa.

I also liked Mojo Jojo.

*BubblyShell22* · 10-03-2008, 08:22 AM

Yes, Sedusa was cool. I also liked Femme Fatale, the one who wanted Susan B. Anthony coins to steal. And, of course, the Amoeba Boys were entertaining as well.
