Something tells me that PPG lost it's appeal. o_o
Not that I don't like it. I think the character designs for the girls are just adorable and more elaborate then their simple dresses. (However, I'm indifferent about the Professor) -shrugs- Maybe I'm just so used to the American one. :\ |

Woops, sorry. I get those two confused sometimes. They do work together or have influence on each of those shows, though, so either way, the anime influence is already there for both of them. |

I don't like the original [American] Powerpuff Girls, but this one looks so different. While I still would not watch either, I prefer this one.

If anyone cares about minor historical details, the pilot episode for Powerpuff Girls aired on Cartoon Network on March 12th, 1995, half a year before even Sailor Moon hit American television, so, while I don't deny that there is some vague anime-influence with the designs and with the speed-lines, I do think it's somewhat overstated, as though Japan is the only country with a simplified cartoon style (among many different cartoon styles, I mean).

my friend karl told me that he knows The show exists because of Cartoon Network America (given Sam Register of CN America's involvement as a lead exec,) so it will becoming to Cartoon Network America .
-In fact, it's rumored that it'll hit CN America in June 2005. I've seen nothing to really confirm it though. I don't trust PPGWorld. -The pilot was screened in Japan at the Tokyo Anime Fair. Word is that it's a very, very radical departure from the original series, with a lot of the basic plot points getting completely changed. -It's unconfirmed whether this was part of a prior deal made by TimeWarner with a partner in Japan for 3 anime series. Considering the delivery date was supposed to be April 2006 for the shows from that project, it's probably not, but you never know. -Cartoon Network America has yet to release any public information about the series. This means that Toei/Avex/Whoever in Japan might have jumped the gun with there announcement, so who knows how that'll effect the airdates and timelines. You should be able to right click the link to the music and select "save target as". If not I'll email it to you. I think yahoo should be able to handle it. |

I remember that episode! ![]() It may have been influenced by other anime before Sailor Moon. Don't forget; Speed Racer and Lupin III ![]() |

Actually the originally pilot aired on an episode of Spacecoast: Coast to Coast where it was voted "Best Episode" of a bunch of pilots (Johnny Bravo also debuted there). I believe it was called Cartoon Network's First Annual Viewers' Choice Vote-In or something. It was the infamous "Meat Jam" episode with Fuzzy Lumpkins and included the original mayor.

Um...did PPG have a really strong plot to begin with? It was just a bunch of very simple stand-alone episodes, no complex themes at all. |

The original, titled "Whoopass Stew", was shown at Spike and Mike's Sick and Twisted animation festival, I think around 1994. As far as I know that was the only time to see it. I guess instead of Chemical X the girls were made from a can of "Whoopass". Mccracken also did the No Neck Joe cartoons for Spike and Mike. Those cartoons are F#@%ing HILARIOUS!! |

This is the official site: http://www.toei-anim.co.jp/corporate/press/topic/press050331.html It says that the character designer will be the one, who did Cutey Honey F (and Sailor Stars - I think SM had two or three character designers, I can't tell, which one this person is). I can read japanese but I don't understand most of it, if anyone does, he/her can give us a translation on what this says. If somebody already posted this link, then sorry. ^^"" |
