TV: Demashita! Powerpuff Girls Z (2006)

I loved PpG several years ago, and have recently rewatched one of the dvds. I haven't really been up to speed about all things power puff in a few years, so imagine my surprice when i find the Japanese have anime-fied one of my favourite cartoons.

seems to have taken the brilliantly titled "Pawapafu Garuzu"

a few steps further by completely redesigning and severely japanifying the characters.

Opening credits (i'm spewing they reverted to soft rock over the excellent original drum n bass)

I had heard rumors about this...nothing too unusual...looks great, though. I alwyas liked watching Powerpuff Girls, and this is fascinating me, to an extent, if it ever gets released in the US.

And soft rock is all the rage with anime, nowadays, so get over it.
