Spotlight on Fandoms: Demashita! Powerpuff Girls Z

[heromaniac]

I’m late. My first ‘Spotlight’ and I’m late! So sorry!

Okay, uhm, so the Powerpuff Girls Z (Demashita! Powerpuff Girls Z) is a Japanese anime remake/homage to the American show, The Powerpuff Girls.

The Powerpuff Girls was an original Cartoon Network series that began airing in 1998. It was about three 5-year-old girls created by a scientist who was trying to create the 'perfect little girl' out of "sugar, spice, and everything nice." Unfortunately (for the bad guys) he accidentally spilled some Chemical X into the mixture and the three sisters were "born" with superpowers. They live in the City of Townsville, which happens to be next to Monster Island, where the giant invading monsters come from. There are also a few resident monsters in town, like Mojo Jojo – a former lab monkey turned criminal super genius thanks to a Chemical X accident of his own, and Fuzzy Lumpkins, a pink crazy banjo-playing hermit, as well as non-monsters that just commit crimes and make it hard for the idiot Mayor to keep being re-elected.

The show was really cool, don’t let anyone tell you different. This is probably why they decided to re-make it into an anime.

The Powerpuff Girls Z is an alternate reality from the original Powerpuff Girls. Literally. There is an episode where the Z-girls' time machine (Yes, a time machine. There's plot for it, don't worry!) goes wonky and they end up in an alternate dimension and we watch as the original Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup fly past and fight an invading monster. They even comment on it. :)

( Japan kicks it up a notch! )

( Roll Call! )

( Others who are important but this is long enough already )

( Is it really an awesome series? )

( I am a tease: )

( Want to watch? )

Sorry, again, for the delay. Man, these things are harder to write up than I thought. Hope that this is good enough to make you watch it! *wiggles fingers mystically* Come to the crack side.
