What was professor Utonium doing making little GIRLS in the first place?

I dislike the american show, I'm going to dislike this <.< What's the point in anime-ifying a crapy series?

The doujinshi was good.

It's good to see the attitude of "Well it's American so it must suck and nime iz da BESSTTT!" attiude is still prevalent around here. I love anime myself, it don't mean American stuff is automatically bad.

What? Do americans not draw the boobs big enough.

Powerpuff Girls > 75% of all Anime.

No. Just no. It was a crappy show based on a cliche premise, and now their trying to Japanify it? What the hell do they plan to do? It's gonna suck from them just as hard. Think: what other magical girl shows can we think of that would logically be in the same league? If you say Sailor Moon, ur rite.

But then again I hated Sailor Moon, and all statements made above are opinions.

It would be funny if they tried to throw in some sort of fanservice. I would die laughing, not at the absurdity of the idea, but at the people who will die fapping.

Why do I get the feeling, from the looks of the art, the jailbait factor is going to be upped?

...Also, why the Hell does their version of Professor Utonium look like a kid?

Holy hell, if this is not a sign of how anime companies and US animation companies are working in cahoots, then I have no idea what is!

The designs don't look half bad.

What I think people here fail to realize is that Powerpuff Girls is actually VERY popular in Japan.

And what I'm sure a lot of the rest of the people here SEVERELY fail to realize is that Powerpuff Girls is actually very well written, has in-jokes and jibs at anime and other cultural phnomenon. One episode had more BAD Beatles quotes than I can count! Another had the girls reading their favorite comics where Blossom was reading a Wonder Woman knock-off, Buttercup a Spawn knock-off, and Bubbles... a pre-school MANGA knock-off! (Think Sanrio!)

They lampoon, parody, and have some VERY funny stuff thrown in with the occassional moral thrown in too. I can EASILY see why it's popular there and in the states. How do I know all this...

Well somewhere, if I can ever find it again, is a Japanese fan site to the Powerpuff girls where they decided to "powerpuff-ize" various anime characters from Rei Ayanami to Vash the Stampede. (Anyone got a link for that?)

Plus, with the popularity of anime growing, and the eagerness for US companies to snatch onto "The real thing", I can see how they'd try and collaborate on something like this.

Keep in mind that Japan and America have collaborated on animation projects before. This, however, is going to a new level.

Also, the guy that made Powerpuff Girls also made Samurai Jack. Tartakovsky is no knucklehead. He's smart and knows what he's doing. Plus, being from Russia, I bet he might have found anime before even working on Powerpuff Girls, and I bet he's very interested in seeing how this pans out.

I know I am.

Where's Mr. Oni on these forums when you need 'em? Well. all i can say is there is going to be a LOT more lolicon floating around. Wether that's good or bad is up to you.

::wonders what ever happened to that german PPG hentai video that was supposed to be floating around the interweb::
