I'm starting to wonder, though. There are points made on a cosplay.com thread that there doesn't appear to be a press release to back these things up. I took a quick look at the Japanese sites, and while my Japanese is relatively pathetic at best, I don't see anything about this on those sites either. Editors, normally, this would be taken as fact, but just to placate those still unsure, how did you confirm the information about the series as something more than just a joke? Is this even a done deal by any means?

I immediately thought of Ojamajo Doremi when I saw the shots of those Mini-PPGs! I wonder what those things really are, and just what their purpose is.... |

Also, Hiromi Seki is going to produce this anime with 2 other people. |

Anybody check out those video clips from that site Sketchee posted?
I assume they're recorded from a camcorder since I can hear the background noises. |

Hmmm. I wonder how old they are. They certainly look like classic 1-B material to me.
(Whoever understands that gets a cookie) I hope Keane-sensei got promoted. |

This thread at Toon Zone may be of interest.
Worth reading the whole thread, too, some interesting points on what exactly this may or may not mean - mind you, this is mostly speculation at this point. Also, like to quote this for emphasis:
In other words, it's really not as heavily anime influenced as so many claim it to be. |

I found what appears to be the official site for Demashitaa! Powerpuff Girls Z. Quite a few screencaps on there as well, but the site itself is in japanese. |

...I, uh, don't think that's official, especially considering the footage and screenshots on the site seem to have been taken from a camcorder and the home site is part of an "American Comics Fan-Site Japan Web-Ring ".

I wonder how HIM will look like. Maybe he'll be like the transvestite in Abenobashi.

This looks better than the original PPG cartoon. Finally, characters that look real with better designs. I also like the new weapons too. I think I will watch this when it comes out.

I actually wonder if the setup of the weapons is a bit of a riff on Sukeban Deka? For those that don't know, this was a manga which spawned a multi-season live-action tv show, as well as an OVA and I think some movies? It starred three female schoolgirls who would fight crime with various innocuous weapons.
The main girl always used a yo-yo (also opened up to show a badge). The 80s show is great cheesiness as she explodes through doors and ties people up with the yo-yo (but always gets it back to her hand!). Had a metal chain instead of string and had to wear a protective glove. She'd even pose similar to one of the PPGZ pictures, with the open side of the yo-yo facing outward. She even had pink colored hair in the anime, which is a bit like blossom's color scheme (ok maybe a stretch). The other two would have such weapons as metal origami cranes (razor wings!), marbles, or crochet needles. Maybe I'm just reading too much into things, but it certainly seems like someone in the design might have been influenced: Anime pic: http://carnage.fanfic.org/sd-anime2.jpg Live-action show: http://www.idollica.com/sukebanintro/SukebanDekaIntro.html http://www.idollica.com/sukebanweapons/SukebanWeapons.html Anyway, I'll reserve judgement on this until I actually see an episode. The character designs are cute, but I do also think the original show had a lot of magic to it. Shawn |

Just ran across on another forum, 2 vid clips from the show, so I uploaded them, they're in mov format, meaning you need Apple's Quicktime Movie player to see them.

Judging from the quality of the site, pics and the used url, this does not seem to be the official site. Expect a prettier, flashier one for that
