Demashitaa! Powerpuff Girls Z

I was a big PPG fan while it aired back normally on CN. So hearing that my much loved animated series was getting an anime series was great news to me. However after watching the anime series I was greatly dissappointed at how much they downplayed it.

Story: 6 The storyline was fair to me. Changes of course had to be done, but the amount of changes were a little to much for my tastes.

The main dissapointment was just how weak they made the heroines powers. Having yoyo's and barrettes made PPG go from a age-less great show, to a kiddy show in my opinion.

Art : 10 If there was one thing I really loved about this series, was the art style. It looked like a anime, but still retained the overall PowerPuff look. Colors were bright and indeed colorful. It was something pleasent to see.

Sound: 5 Don't judge me too much by sound, this is my not my strongest review point. However the songs weren't too memorable or wouldn't be going in my album of anime songs.

Character: 7 One of the things that most dissappointed me asides from story. Half of the characters were so different in personailty and overall then to the original series that it annoyed me alot. The one who most bothered me was RowdyRuff Boys and Sedusa as for villains. Sedusa looked horrible in design, and the boys were changed completly.

Enjoyment: 6 I must admit at first I was excited, but as the episodes passed by, my excitement went diminishing.

Overall: 7 Overall this could have been a really great show with a very large following then it has, if only they would have made it as original as the actual original. read more

In a nutshell it was ok. After seeing the whole thing you can see how they stayed true to the original series, partially. They kept the old villains looks, personalities, and motives the same but also introduced some of their own to mix it up.
What bothered me the most were some of the cliches and overall placement of....well everything.
Complicated problems are solved within seconds, Professor Utonium has always built some new invention right on time in order to save the day, and they cram things that should span episodes into about 5 minutes.
Everything seemed small scaled, even the girls powers which if you knew the original show they were quite a destructive force. But now its just "Ill steal these bananas then take over the world" or "I'll get this boy to like me". Things dont really pick up until the end.
The overall feeling you get from the entire series is that it's filler and its true, you could remove over half the episodes and still keep what little continuity it had.
Even fans of the original PPG will find it hard to watch. I'd recommend it if you are 14 or under. read more
