Are you serious?  This isn't some late April Fool's Day joke, is it?

It reminds me of the comics that bleedman guy does on deviantArt.

Looking at the screenshots of the opening theme/promo, It's going to rock hard! I'm very happy that they are doing this. Hell, I would even watch it dubbed and I hope they do bring the american voice actors for this. Man, this is going to so kick ass :D I'm going to make an avatar of the last screenshot hehehe :D

Funny you say that.  The "Turtles" OVAs are just as funny as the original.  Seriously.

Why the Japanese version is better than the original:

+  Sakuma Rei-san, Shinohara Emi-san and Nakamura Daiki-san.  Okay, people will not care about the last person, but the last two are good enough for me.

+  They actually pronounce the names of the artists more properly.

Why the original is better than the Japanese version:

+  It's the original.  What else do you need to know?

+  James Avery, Cam Clarke and the guy who played as Donatello, whose name I forgot right now: I heard those voices a lot when I was younger and they were that good.

+  Could have never understood why the Shredder's name was changed in the Japanese version, but eh.  It's minor.

+  "Cowabunga!"  Need I say more?

There are more.

If this is real...
I think that you're assuming the show is being done for Japan.  Knowing Toei, the show is probably being done for international distribution, and knowing Cartoon Network, it would'nt be long before it showed up on Kids WB, and Cartoon network. :?

Well, it  does looks kinda neat (The animation looks more like classic Toei animation than what they've done in recent years).  But after watching the Quicktime movie, it looked as if it's Powerpuff Girls in name only (oh yeah, and Mojo JoJo to).   :?

Wow.  PPG go anime.  Guess it has come full circle.  Or it means that anime studios in Japan are really in a creative panic and for fear of recycling previous titles or make-overs they are looking overseas for something new and different.  Kinda ironic since Hollywood has been barrowing HK titles and directors since the 90s.

I agree with you on that one. I checked out the doujinshi and it's great, but I perfer the show on local because I don't have cable.

Age!

The series began this season.  The first episode has been subbed by Doremi and Fighting Magic.  I'd say it's a very nifty juxtaposition of the original show and Japanese and/or anime conventions we've become accustomed to.  Still pretty much retains the original feel of the show, but the girls aren't just created on-the-spot anymore.  They're basically normal girls who gain powers (read: mahou shoujo).  To quote myself:
Quote from: TsubasaThis actually looks kinda cool.  Mahou shoujoish.
I totally called that one. =P

The entire seiyuu cast are basically unknowns.  Kinda a disappointment. ; ;

I like how Bubbles is ojou-ish.  I didn't see that one coming, but it kinda works.  And I think Blossom is a lot cuter in this version.  I never really cared much for Buttercup and that doesn't change in the anime. XD;

I don't think its as cute as the original but it might be ok. This bubbles bugs me. She doesn't seem playful enough.

I think the anime is a bit wackier...was there ever a PPG episode where...

Quote from: ep01 Spoiler...they go and stop a battle -- Mojo AND AUDIENCE included!! -- to go and have a nice bowl of ice cream?!

That's just...whoa, man. XD Insane, to say the least.

BTW, Miss Bellum still retains her title as best non-PPG in PPG character ever.

That is the best PPG doujinshi(if not the only) out there. Seriously.

PPG anime? Heard it's less...directed towards younger audiences O_OU hope that makes sense.

Right now, for me, OP > ED, but both are quite awesome. Not as awesome as previous themes, but it's probably just me. And, unfortunately, there are no traces of the original OP in either track. I suppose I'll have to listen to the long versions before I decide whether or not they go in my playlists.

Quote from: uzutakePPG anime? Heard it's less...directed towards younger audiences O_OU hope that makes sense.

Nope. The adaptation also appears geared toward the younger crowd.

On my end OP < ED.  The OP just doesn't click with me for some reason.  I'm opening up the file and playing the ED here and there. =3

Well...at least they kept the huge eyes. Makes them stand out and still have that original Powerpuff design look. It...looks alright I guess. I do like the intro.

Meh...I'll have to watch a bit more to get an idea of it. Catchy intro song. Favorite will always hands down be Buttercup.  :D

This fails in 3 ways.

1. Theme has no attachment to the actual Powerpuff Girls. Character traits changed (athletic ability, some personality.)
2. Animation quality is low. At least with the original Powerpuff Girls you got consistant character designs; some of the "NPCs" of the world are deformed and unstraightened.
3. *Ahem

THE CITY, OF TOWNSVILLE

was nixed.

I don't think I'm going to bother with it. It's what used to be a good cartoon turned into a few hundred cliches.

It's sad to see one of the best American cartoons of recent memory turned into one of the worst anime currently airing. (Maybe it's not on the same level as Musashi Gandou, but it's bad...)

Then again, so much of PPG just can't translate that I'm surprised it was as popular as it is in Japan to begin with. (For example, the episode about the "Beat-Alls" and their "Brutish Invasion" was just awesome, one of the best episodes.)
