    I think Blossom’s weapon being a yo-yo might be a reference to Sukeban Deka a popular manga and drama series in the 70s/80s. Since it went on to influence a good bit of magical girl anime and manga that came after🤔

    By any chance has anyone ever read a Webcomic named Powerpuff Girls Doujinshi? It's a Cartoon crossover Webcomic prominently featuring the Powerpuff Girls. Basically, Cartoon Network albeit Darker and Edgier. Plus characters like Dexter (Dexter's Laboratory), Jenny (My Life as a Teenage Robot), Courage (Courage the Cowardly Dog), Jack (Samurai Jack), Otto Osworth (Time Squad), and many others are in it as well.

What I liked about Z is just the anime classic vibe KillLaKill magical girl tings, very whimsical. And the OG has great voice acting and I love that even the it's a kidd show the overall all message is that all your problems can and will be solved with VIOLENCE. Literally every end of an episode they bait you by faking some sort of peaceful resolution but they end up just wolloping the villain in the face with their stub for a fist; we honestly need more of that mentality earlier Adventure time is another show that did that alot😂

    So for what I was investigating in the past they had so much ideas do the show, Ken was actually gonna be the professor as in like the same age he has in the anime, so I assume his name was going to be utonium. I haven’t decipher everything cuz it’s really hard but I read someone saying that he created the girls to be his siblings. I know by some of the prototypes designs they could’ve been sisters. Then they released the pilot episode than no one has found just some very bad few scenes and recording of it, and it seems the show was gonna then have a more mature take. Since the girls were teenagers (they look older than the current anime) and the action was more violent, even Mojo was cussing at them. So it’s interesting to see this show could’ve end up in so many many different ways and makes me wonder why they ended up like this.
    For once I think the professor wanting sisters or siblings seems pretty heartwarming ( also sad since I assume he was always alone, didn’t have friends due to most likely graduating really early from school) if that was the original idea, it would’ve bring the family feeling the show missed.

By the way does anyone know that Episode 38 of Powerpuff Girls Z had a Pretty Cure parody? You see when Fumika and Hanayo get hit by Him's black particles, they call themselves Follower Fumi and Follower Hana, and say "The two of us are followers!", which is a parody to Futari wa Pretty Cure.

    Yeah, good point. How come CN never aired this show in the U.S.? Even if they thought no one would watch it, they could've aired it at midnight on Adult Swim or something.

  • @Mespoina
    @Mespoina 11 місяців тому +8

    I love this show so much! I remember this airing all the time where I'm from and Cartoon network Philippines apparently has a different schedule from the rest of CN Asia so maybe that's why this it went under the radar but it was still really fun and I loved it, I was kind of confused at frist but I was going through my magical girl phased and I had just discovered the tagalog dub of sailor moon and I wanted more! And when I saw that cartoon network was making an anime adaptation of the powerpuff girls...I.was.SOLD! And before you say anything, the professor in the anime did have a close relationship with the girls which i think got more fleshed out in the Manga but yeah I didn't like that they weren't sisters and I don't know if you know this but there's actually a bit of discourse on the anime's portrayal of Blossom...a lot of fans thought she was too dizzy and didn't like that she was a lot more Geeky and it might have something to do with the color coding associated with magical girl archetypes
    pink means you are the main character, blue means you are calm and collected and any color other than that is anyone's guess
    but personally I didn't mind this change, in fact I might be the only person in the fandom who perfers this version of Blossom....which is insane I know! But I always saw Blossom as a bit of a comic book geek because of that liberality Bell persona she made in the original cartoon and I always thought the anime wanted to exaggerate that aspect of her personality because other than being the smart one blossom was always the most heroic of the three girls and i guess the anime tried to translate that into a love of comics and superhero media because obviously this version of the girls weren't born with their superpowers but maybe I'm just making excuses because this incarnation of blossom was a little bit closer to how i acted and what i liked and because of that I could relate to her more....IDK! I just love this version of Blossom and as for her weapon being a yo-yo I think it's a sukeban reference...
    But yeah I think cartoon network really hit it out with this show, they even got Toei animation to help develop it and if that name doesn't ring a bell they are like the pioneers of early magical girl anime they've literally been around since the 50s and PPGZ came around in 2006 which was the Studio's 50th anniversary so I'm suprised it's not a bigger deal
    Needless to say the show was a phenomenon and i definitely think CN and other studios should have anime adaptations of their own I would LOVE a Ben 10 or Danny Phantom anime adaptation but have it be targeted towards older audiences! Heck! I think an anime adaptation of Dexter's laboratory, following a teenage Dexter would be a fun idea as well, but I guess we kind of have that already with Powerpuff girls Doujinshi (but man does that manga have issues) and if you want a more 'Official' anime version of Dexter theirs always Fusionfall Dexter (who actually had a story arc but the Fusionfall manga only ran for one issue!) But hey those are just my thoughts
    Anyway thanks for coming to my TED talk lol

      Hey mia! I was looking forward to your comment! If I’m being honest I was maybe a little too hard on it, I know I expressed that I thought it was fun but the more I watch the funner it gets. This show has such a sweet and charming vibe to it. Unfortunate it went under the radar and never aired in America because I think it could have gained a much bigger audience if Cartoon Network would have had a little more faith in it.
      And yeah the professors relationship with the girls has definitely grown as the show goes on but it is a different relationship then what came before, I’m just so used to these girls looking at him as their father so it’s just weird seeing that it isn’t the case.
      And you know what? I like this blossom but fans are actually right, she sometimes acts like how I would expect bubbles to act. She can be pretty irresponsible like when she almost told her classmates about her powers which were supposed to be secret.
      I do agree with you though I love that she’s a comic book geek and a superhero nerd. I think that really suits her character really well and I think it’s a good change.
      It does make sense for her character with her being the most willing to jump into battle and be a hero. Her being a nerd is totally relatable.
      I also don’t despise the yo-yo I just find it funny that the other girls get such cool weapons and she pretty much has a toy.
      I do think Toei animation did a good job at making a unique show that isn’t just a stereotypical anime rehash but is its own unique being.
      I really wish America got this because whether people liked it or dislike it wouldn’t matter people would be drawn to the idea already I think.
      And oh my gosh I would absolutely love it if Cartoon Network or any other studios would go outside of their comfort zones like this. It would be so cool to see a Ben 10 or a Steven universe maybe even adventure anime!!
      I’m also thinking about doing a fusion fall video because I don’t think that got the attention it deserved either.
      But omg thank you so much for your comment, I love the passion you have for this series it’s so much fun! And I LOVE hearing your ideas for content so comment anytime!!

I loved that show as a kid and I watched it all the time, it sucks it's pretty much been forgotten, without Flapjack we wouldn't have so many beloved Modern cartoons and that alone is a pretty good reason not to forget that show and it's able to stand on it's own as something unique

    Didn’t they air the anime vers on boomerang? the dub….🫤😬😶
    It’s like every magical shoujo in the anime. I mean it’s cute but they had to tone down the violence bc it’s not very polite to punch baddies…I think?
    I’d watch this over the reboot. But the OG will be better bc little girls beating the sh!t outta bad guys is just funny.

      I don’t remember it being aired on boomerang but I’ll definitely look into it. And yeah I like the anime but the OG Powerpuff girls will always be the best. I’m glad Craig is bringing the show back, hopefully it’ll be just as good and just as violent lmao
