Some things the Americans do better than the Japanese... Like the Power Puff Girls...
New, from Japan: Power Puff Girls Z.

Yeah. I just sorta died a bit inside.

Here's another clip.

The Mayor and Ms. Sara Bellum didn't translate well at all into anime. The Mayor especially just looks like some generic extra old man character and has none of the same visual character as the regular one.

This sorta points out one of the biggest reasons I've started to lose interest in anime: cliches, a la eye gouging transformation scenes.

Take everything that makes the Powerpuff Girls an awesome show,... toss that in the garbage,... & you'll have something resembling this mucky POS.
There's nothing wrong with anime,... the creatores of this show just obviously didn't have a clue.

Mojo Jojo looks pretty rad. I still think the original is funnier...Maybe that's because I can't speak Japanese...

I had never heard of the Powerpuff girls until I saw Xavius posing with one on N-sights.

It's pretty funny how sometimes we watch anime and are like "I like anime because they always have a fresh take on subjects, whether funny or dramatic". Then this comes along and we find out the Japanese are just as uninspired as we are. I would like to see this show, but only from a curiosity point of view, like, two episodes.

Them being created from sugar, spice and everything nice has nothing to do with them having aliases.

There's realy nothing wrong with that, It's actually how i would have imagined the powerpuff girls would be if they were in middleschool, instead of kindergarden.

Honestly. It may even be worse. I mean, they took something that was unique and original and made it bland and indistiguishable from all other Japanese animation.

Also, do they do that transformation thing in every episode? Damn that wasted a ton of time.

That's terrible. It took them two minutes just to transform, it doesn't get more cliche than that.

That's actually cool. Bring it to the states!

Just take out the sexy dancing so the US senate doesn't think CTN supports kid porn.

LOL @ Mojo!

What are you guys talking about? This show is awesome!
