I didn’t finish watching Powerpuff Girls for a long while. In part, it was because it’s a shame to see the end of a classic show, but mostly it was because by season 6, it wasn’t really feeling like a [...]

Speaking as a 90′s child, I can safely say that The Powerpuff Girls was an iconic cartoon in America. A story about three super powered little girls created by way of “accidental” science, who...The [...]

By season 4, the Powerpuff Girls formula was wearing a little thin and getting a bit dull. I fully expected to see an episode in this season where I could go, ‘Yup, that’s where it jumped the shark’, [...]

Yes, Powerpuff Girls Z does exist, and it is everything a re-imagining should be. It takes the original idea and changes just enough of it to be something completely different, while maintaining the same spirit of the original. Powerpuff Girls Z changes the super powered elementary school girls into magical middle school girls, while the modern [&hellipThe post Review: Powerpuff Girls Z (2006) appeared first on Project Otaku.

Powerpuff Girls, a nostalgic cartoon series from Cartoon Network, will be forming a collaboration with Hatsune Miku and Vocaloids this coming Summer 2012. This collaboration is to commemorate the 10th Anniversay of Powerpuff Girls airing in Japan. Having my favourite cartoon from my childhood to team-up with Vocaloid is truly a personal satisfaction. The "Powerpuff Girls" characters were created by Craig McCracken back in 1992, with a prototype short-animation film aired in 1995. The first airing in Japan started since 2001, and is now broadcasted in 168 countries worldwide, while gaining popularity from a wide range of children. Hatsune Miku, a singing software called "Vocaloid" that "sings a song" based on the lyrics and notes input, using "Hatsune Miku" as the vocals. Products have been published under the Vocaloid name, from CDs to even holding a live performance. This time, to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Japanese airing of Powerpuff Girls, a collaboration with Hatsune Miku has been formed. Vocaloids, such as Hatsune Miku, the Kagamine Twins, Rin and Len and even Megurine Luka, will be dressed in "Powerpuff Girl" costumes and deformed in accordance to the Powerpuff design for the heroines, Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup. The world-famous characters are set to receive collaborative products, scheduled to appear one after another this summer. More information on the "Powerpuff Girls x Hatsune Miku" collaboration will be posted at the official website in the future. Via News Ameba

One of Japan's fashion icons, the gothic lolita clad J-pop princess, Nana Kitade was responsible for performing the Demashita! Powerpuff Girls Z first opening theme! Just found it out in an older Shojo Beat mag... :(PPGZ is one of my earliest animes, a Japanese adaptation of the famous Cartoon Network's Powerpuff Girls. I saw it over the same network not too long ago and I suppose it'll be spreading more cuteness in the US this year.I know it's crazy to even like these bunch of cute girls! I adore Bubbles the most! And speaking of crazy, Nana's PV of the same song is more crazier than I thought! Watch.<object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/UQDmnklMJIU&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0x234900&amp;color2=0x4e9e00&amp;ap=%2526fmt%3D18"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/UQDmnklMJIU&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0x234900&amp;color2=0x4e9e00&amp;ap=%2526fmt%3D18" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="385"></embed></object>Honestly, I don't like her singing style that much. :( Maybe little kids do! Let's see what Ryvius think of it.**********************************************************************************Ryvius' Rating: 2/10 Hmmm, what a weird voice. For me it's the same feeling as nails on a blackboard. Or like someone being forced to sing out of a toilet. It's really atrocious! It's not cute at all... What were they thinking when they asked Nana Kitade to sing for the Powerpuff Girls. The adorable trio deserves much better. In any case, I really adored the original series' opening video sequence. Remember?? "Sugar, Spice and everything nice..." This song is definitely not nice! **********************************************************************************

Original artist: yam The「Powerpuff Girls Z」English dub is currently being shown on Boomerang (Australia). As far as we know, the main girls are always known throughout the program as Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup — even in their civilian forms. The soundtrack, some dialogue, and few character names have all been altered from the original Japanese release…

Hmm, it has been awhile since I posted anything PPGZ-related. But after hearing the English dub that premiered on Cartoon Network Philippines, I was left speechless and needed to share. Names were changed, music was dropped, all around I’m not sure if this is the same dub that will be shown in the west. Video [...]

Episode 1 The Girls are HereProfessor Utonium and his son Ken are busy working in the lab as the Professor attempts to restore the Powerpuff Girls Z to normal. Ken tells his father not to worry the girls seem to be enjoying themselves. Just after their latest attempt explodes in their faces, they receive an urgent call from Mayor Mayer, showing video of giant monkey that has appeared at a kindergarten and is caging the students and principal. The mayor requests that the Powerpuff Girls be dispatched. Peach the talking dog gives the signal to the girls; they tell the teacher their sick and rush from the classroom to find a deserted area they can transform. The girls receive video of the monster and hurry to the scene, where the monster is stealing candy from the children. When the girls arrive the children stop crying and ask the girls for their autographs, which the girls are happy to comply with. The monkey wants an autograph too.This show is so funny, I’d never seen the American original which this Japanese anime is based on but the group that’s subbing it is known for the toku and quirky dramas I like such as Sexy Voice and Robo and Akihabara@deep, so I decided to give it a try. I’m very glad that I did, it's really a parody of toku/magical girl shows. During the first fight of the series the girls run out of energy and stop for ice cream, the giant monkey joins them. The girls themselves each have their own personalities but my favourite so far is Kaoru or Powered Buttercup, the tomboy of the group who keeps complaining after being transformed that she’s cold from wearing a skirt. The mayor reminds me of Captain Kangaroo my preschool idol, along with his sexy assistant Miss Bellum taking the place of Mr Moose. If you like toku and are looking for a laugh then you should give this show a try. Recommended to anime fans who enjoyed Cutie Honey or Future Police Urashiman.Fifty one of the fifty two episode anime series has been released by TV Nihon and the easiest way to get them is by direct download on their forum here.

Yes, I know this is very, VERY late, but that’s what happens when you become lazy and don’t create a plan of attack for everything that must be done. With that said, I’ve decided to drop the podcast format (don’t have the time now) until the reflections post that should come at the end. In [...]
