[Krieock]

HEY!!! BUTTERCUPS HAIR IS GREEN!!! DAMIT! I love Buttercup so much *sniff*

[Snowfox]

Kick ass..

[Xion Valkyrie]

It looks more like mahou shoujo now.....

American style super powers were cooler =P

[mofo09]

interesting..

[Alucard1515]

What the hell is with the weapons? And the proffessor looks like a kid.

[CuriousJoe8]

well, this is just another example of how much things turn to crap when they come to America from Japan. They're just fine until they get here........damn...

[Alucard1515]

What the HELL are you talking about? Powerpuff Girls didn't come from Japan.

[chain2treechick]

u think powerpuff girls originated in japan? wow...i've still yet to find one great production from this decade that is original to US.
everyone still thinks the ring is...

[Hiltz]

Toei Animation, Aniplex, and Cartoon Network, the new project will be tentatively titled "Demashitaa! Powerpuff Girls Z.

It looks like they want to reinvent Mcracken's cartoon series.

Craig McCracken is the creator of The PowerPuff Girls first done as a college project in 1992. Something like 3 years later Cartoon Network noticed it and gave it 2 pilots and finally made it into an official animated tv series in 1998.

Isn't Samurai Jack an original to the US?

[Robosockmonkey]

Yes, Samurai Jack and The Powerpuff Girls are both origional cartoons from the US, and a funny thing about the Powerpuff Girls... Craig McCracken when he first thought it up wanted to make a cartoon that was just about three little girls theat would just severly beat up their enemies. He originally called it "The Kickass Girls" but changed it to The Powerpuff girls for obvious reasons (it' a kids show).

[Alucard1515]

wow...i've still yet to find one great production from this decade that is original to US.
...uh, yeah. Nothing at all...

[Manga Sims]

I thinks its pretty cool. The guy who did the manga obviously (well not really) but most likely had permission. And if not...its about time the Japanese stole somthing from the US.... :)

[Naota]

Powerpuff girls rocked. Until everyone started laughing at me and insulting me because I watched it. That terrible memory of my sister laughing her head off stomping out of the room, and my parents making weird faces at me after they made me announce it still sticks in my mind. Of course, I was 8 years old.

And I bet those pictures are fan art, I mean PPG anime?! Yeah, fan art. Really...really good...fan art.

[KuranosukeOishi]

And I bet those pictures are fan art, I mean PPG anime?! Yeah, fan art. Really...really good...fan art.

According to the Anime News Network, who are generally pretty reliable, this was announced at the Tokyo Animation Fair. I'd say it's genuine.

But yeah, they decided that since PPG is quite popular in Japan, why not do an anime?

I say, more power to them.

awesome comic staring your favorite cartoon characters.

Is very related to the powerpuff girls

Dude the movie is sweet!

Ima try to do a flash now. :)

[PhisH]

hehee that ppg doujin is awesome ^_^

[TSD]

I've seen a fair amount of PPG fan art from the Japanese, but I didn't expect them to make their own series. Now they have weapons? That's gay. It's a comedy show, not an action series.

[Hayami]

I'd consider it a much needed improvement. ^.^ bubbles looks so cute awwww

[CuriousJoe8]

What the HELL are you talking about? Powerpuff Girls didn't come from Japan.
......oops.sorry. but, i meen with stuff like dragon ball, they edit and take out alot because of all the censorship stuff.

[LarianAngel]

*watches her questionmark run into a brick wall* o_O wtfx? this is new news to me! but in that same respect, bubbles is so adorable in anime form! shes my favorite XD!

[FigureFour]

......oops.sorry. but, i meen with stuff like dragon ball, they edit and take out alot because of all the censorship stuff.
So you were just babbling about something that has nothing to do with the topic?

[Mad Bassist]

She fights with a yoyo haha thats stupid

[FigureFour]

Actually, yo-yos were originaly designed as weapons, not toys.

[LarianAngel]

i was intruiged when i saw this thread so i decided to look it up. i found something really intersting. O.o pictures and 1 animated sequence involving the transforations on this page here. Check it out if your interested! XD http://ppgcom.gooside.com/ppgz/ppgz_transformation.html

[DaiKamonohashi]

And that is so friggin awesome...http://polykarbonbbs.com/images/smilies/eek2.gif

(learn something new everyday...)

[Hiltz]

Great Caesar's ghost!

It looks like a really annoying wannabe Sailor Moon.

[Cruiser18]

I love that Enterpretation of Powerpuff Girls, Dexter and Samurai Jack :)

[Snowfox]

They need a Samurai Jack anime. :3

[Krieock]

Actually, yo-yos were originaly designed as weapons, not toys. - most people don't know that.
by Native Americans, to be exact.

[KuranosukeOishi]

Well, the ancient Greeks played with them a few thousand years ago and the Chinese may have had them before that.

Yo-yos as we know them now came from the Phillipines. Whether they were developed from Chinese yo-yos or from local hunting weapons is unsure. The word yo-yo comes from the Tagalog language and means roughly "come come" or "come back".

It's also speculated that they may have develped elsewhere independently.

(Cannibalised from some various sources on the web.)

[Hiltz]

A yo-yo cannot be taken seriously as a weapon, especially one in an anime.

Seen Samurai Jack, didn't think it was anything special.
Quite repetative really.

[the real bamph]

The Professor ISN'T A SQUARE!?!??!?!?!?! GRAAAAAAHHH!!!!!! :mad: :mad:
and what's with the yellow plastic mallot!?! :mad:
the yoyo's cool tho, you can beat up someone with a yoyo :laugh:

That sucks so much ass.

[Snowfox]

Super ass suckage.

[LarianAngel]

That sucks so much ass.

Ah, but, I never said you would like it. I said "IF" your interested ;) . Something must have piqued your curiosity if you visited the page to take a look.

[chain2treechick]

well shippo fights with a yo-yo. kinda.
no wait...a top.
nevermind

[TSD]

Ah, but, I never said you would like it. I said "IF" your interested ;) . Something must have piqued your curiosity if you visited the page to take a look.

I was interested in this, because the PPG is a guilty pleasure of mine, and I've always liked the anime fan art I've seen of it. But these weapons and shit and transformations are just gay--they totally undermine the fact that at PPG is a comedy, not costume heroine faggotry. The funniest part of the series was the fact that the PPG were often put into mediocre situations beneath their powers, along with the fact that they had no anonymity whatsoever. This whole transformation crap destroys that.

I'm so ******* waiting for them to use trading cards for powers, or some other mundane horseshit.

[Hiltz]

Hahah, another wave of evil influence of the Pokemon on our children but with PPG as the replacement.

[the real bamph]

i bet they made Mojo (my fav. character) TALL. damn this twisted world.

[Faliat]

Holy... Christ....

[SilverFox]

Yoyo as a weapon? Wikipedia seems to disagree.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yoyo

[KuranosukeOishi]

The problem with the Wikipedia is that it must eventually meet a happy medium between viewpoints.

There is the possibility, of course, that the Yo-yo was never used as a weapon, but there is also the possibility that it was.

[Hiltz]

According to the merriam-webster online dictionary, the third meaning of a yo-yo is a stupid or foolish person.

A yo-yo? They could have gone with a slinky as a weapon.

Who walks the stairs without a care
It shoots so high in the sky.
Bounce up and down just like a clown.
Everyone knows its Slinky.

The best present yet to give or get
The kids will all want to try.
The hit of the day when you are ready to play
Everyone knows it's Slinky.

It Slinky, It’s Slinky
for fun the best of the toys
It Slinky, It’s Slinky
the favorite of girls and boys.

[KuranosukeOishi]

By the way, here's the official site.

http://www.toei-anim.co.jp/corporate/press/topic/press050331.html

So all of you who thought this was an april fools...you're yo-yos. ;)

[Hiltz]

Jiminy Jillikers Batman!

Other than the one PPG image I can't understand anything on that site, must be one of them yo-yos.


Robin, that thing your holding isn't my batarang.

Is it your remote control batmobile car key?

Guess again.

[KuranosukeOishi]

Shouldn't it be more like "Holy Whoopass Girls, Batman!"?

[Faliat]

Yoyo as a weapon? Wikipedia seems to disagree.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yoyo

Yoyos were weapons when they were first created in celtic times. Truth!

[vincent316]

that is soo weird. PPG anime??

[Cativo]

I showed the first pics to my lil sisters and they knew who they are immediatly!

[Hiltz]

I guess it's the theme colors of each PPG and their noticable hair colors that help them remain as recognized characters no matter what art style they are used in.

On second thought, this I would think is going to be meant for children viewers so a yo-yo. It takes me a while to think things through sometimes . ;)

"Holy Whoopass Girls, Batman!"?

That can equally work just as well with the list of Robin's gayish sayings.

[Cyangoose]

Hmm. According to the site, Demashita! Power Puff Girls Z is only an interum name. Guess it's not decided yet. The producer worked on Digimon. The director worked on Digimon and Yugioh and the character designer has done Cutey Honey F and Sailor Moon. Guess that's why they bear such a resemblence. -_-

[Onwakariudo]

[akaast]

This could be interesting :bunny:

[Eiyuu_Kou]

This is pathetic... America, freaking leave Japan alone! America is crapping up Japan with a bunch of bull. Id rather be Japanese than American.

[TheSorrow]

powerpuff girls in Japanese anime? BUAHAHAHAHA(laughs)HEHEHEHEHEHEHE!!! HAHAHAHA!! cough cough.:P oh well, i'm not a fan of power puff girls, but the drawings is better than the american version o_O.OH MY GOD.:squint:

[Dresden Codak]

But the Powerpuff girls were a quasi-tribute to Japanese animation to begin with... Now it's a Japanese adaptation of an American tribute to a Japanese genre... This is some kind of Animation moebius strip from which no mortal will escape!

[KuranosukeOishi]

This is pathetic... America, freaking leave Japan alone! America is crapping up Japan with a bunch of bull. Id rather be Japanese than American.

What the hell is that supposed to mean? PowerPuff Girls, an American show, is really polular in Japan. So the Japanese decided to make an anime out of it. How is that America "crapping up Japan with a bunch of bull"?

This sounds like fanboy elitism to me.

yup, Powerpuff girls is quite popular now these days. i would like to see the Japanese Version of Powerpuff girls :P

[Hiltz]

If you don't like the show then don't watch it. ;)

Transformations?
Wait... In the american version there were no transformations... They were super kids all the time....

What is it with japanese cartoons and transformations?

Ah hell... bet it'll suck ne ways...

[TheSorrow]

:P Blossom using yoyo as weapons? blah!

[Hiltz]

They want to turn it into the next wannabe Sailor Moon franchise or something haha.

Wow, thanks for the great link Mss Wiggle.

Interesting if I were a girl. :D


The voice acting hurts the ears. :)

[Professor Az]

I agree, Professors should never look like kids... :unibrow:

[Jeanox]

Your welcome. Explore that whole site. It's wierd. They have a bunch of screen caps and a paint bbs where they've drawn pics of kim possible, ppg, and teen titans. O_o I didn't know the japanese were into that kinda stuff...

[OniCloud]

WTF they got older, grew fingers, and threw away their awesome powers for yo-yos, plastic hammers, and bubbles? And yet the professor gets younger? I'm not a fan of ppg just that my little sister watches it. I think this will go nowhere in my opinion. Just looks so damned stupid. Japan is always great with coming up with great and imaginitive stuff on their own. Why steal something that already sucks?

And they better not make a japanese version of teen titans. Despite the fact it's on Cartoon Network, it's still a pretty good show :O. And they better not make a japanese version of their own adult swim :/ because I can't imagine a family guy in japanese because we all know japan isn't the greatest at translating our language :X

Oh well pgg anime styled sounds stupid to me.
Beggars can't be chooser's and hobo's can't eat metal

[AnimeLuver]

NICE imagination. bubble look so cute! kawaiiii! im looking forward for more futher PPG Z

http://ppgcom.gooside.com/ppgz/ppgz_attack.html Thanks for the links Ms Wiggle! I got to show this to my sisters! looks too weird imho....

[Jeanox]

np

Somewhere on that "translated" page it said that Powerpuff Girls Z was a temporary title. Maybe I read it wrong.

Oh, nevermind, just let them keep the Z at the end of it. Then they could mesh DBZ and PPGZ together. That would be so awesomely pathetic! I'd watch an episode just to laugh my brains out.

[Eiyuu_Kou]

The link sounds like it was from some Japanese convention.
