Coolness+1000

Take the Powerpuff Girls. Not too taxing was it. Now take the Powerpuff Girls and put them in the hands of anime geniuses Toei.
  • This is what you get
  • Like it or not the Powerpuff Girls have just got much, much cooler. This is the anime reworking of the girls from said Toei. A pilot episode of the new series was shown at the Tokyo Animation Fair finally confirming rumours that had been circulating the net for months. Looking at the pilot of what has become known as Powerpuff Girls Z it all seems very different from the PPG we all know. The girls are just 3 ordinary girls until they're called into action by the professor. After a massively over the top transformation scene (you know you love it) the show begins. It is definately still a fun series that isn't taking itself too seriously. Many of the old characters have returned (Mojo Jojo is in the pilot) but naturally the typical japanese touch has been placed on it. Its funny but still action packed. I'm comparing it very heavily to Sailor Moon which I found an extremely belated love of once the series had crashed in the UK. Make your own judgement with my parting link.
