zeo-mare Posted April 25, 2005 Posted April 25, 2005 might be something, i never watch the show so i do not really know to much of it. chris
terry the lone wolf Posted April 25, 2005 Author Posted April 25, 2005 (edited) might be something, i never watch the show so i do not really know to much of it.chris The show about three supergirls who were created by a scientist in experiment to make the ultimate girl. The scientist used sugar, spice, and everything nice and also added Chemical X. So the Powerpuff Girls were born to defend thier city from evil threats like super intelligent monkey Mojo JoJo(who incidently was another creation of the same scientist).

zeo-mare Posted April 26, 2005 Posted April 26, 2005 yea i know the plot, i have seen the comercials and i have read some stuff about the series, but it seemed way to kid oriented and aimed at girls for me. am i wrong? did i miss out on a good cartoon? chris
nightmareB4macross Posted April 26, 2005 Posted April 26, 2005 It's not really aimed at girls, it just very humourous. You really need to plunk down and see a few of the episodes. They are quite funny.

Especially when the girls kicked the butts of all villians in Townsville. The creator of the show originally called it the "Kick Ass Girls".
nightmareB4macross Posted April 26, 2005 Posted April 26, 2005 I think one of the funiest episodes, was when Buttercup (Green PPG) discovered the toothfairy gives you money for your teeth. I don't want to spoil it, but you really should see it.
Stamen0083 Posted April 26, 2005 Posted April 26, 2005 On the surface, it's geared towards girls. Deep down, though, it's humorous and violent. Not something children would understand.
BoBe-Patt Posted April 26, 2005 Posted April 26, 2005 dood, that looks pretty interesting. I'd watch that.
Skull Leader Posted April 26, 2005 Posted April 26, 2005 yeah, there's all kinds of hidden inuendoes and whatnot. The series really IS quite humorous. Although the anime-renditions of the characters look great, I worry that it would lose something in the translation... they'll really have to "up" the cuteness to keep it constant I think.
1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted April 26, 2005 Posted April 26, 2005 I wonder if we'll see an anime version of spongebob squarepants? I heard the movie was funny but never really got into the cartoon.
NERV Posted April 26, 2005 Posted April 26, 2005 anyone know what buttercup is holding besides the hammer? it look like a d***o but i assume its supposed to be a nail to go with the hammer or something?
mikeszekely Posted April 26, 2005 Posted April 26, 2005 anyone know what buttercup is holding besides the hammer? it look like a d***o but i assume its supposed to be a nail to go with the hammer or something? This is Japan we're talking about... don't be too suprised if your first guess turns out to be correct.
Dat Pinche Haro! Posted April 26, 2005 Posted April 26, 2005 still looks like a cool idea...sorta surprised it hasn't happend sooner
bandit29 Posted April 26, 2005 Posted April 26, 2005 the old saying " Ya can't polish a turd" comes to mind.
glane21 Posted April 26, 2005 Posted April 26, 2005 Weird, an anime of a cartoon that was a rip-off of anime. I never cared to watch the PPG but Invader Zim is flat out hilarious and definitely an adult-oriented show disguised as a kid show.
KingNor Posted April 26, 2005 Posted April 26, 2005 (edited) nope sorry, don't like it. it will lose everything in this translation. the show is only superficially about the girls anyway, it really is all about parodys and jokes. and these weapons look stupid. the girls are supposed to be super strong and shoot lazerbeams. that clip, other than having the girls and their appropriate colors doesn't understand the show at all. there are lots of shows in japan that just don't work when translated, or even subbed (shows with lots of play on word jokes). i think this is one that won't work in japan.

Jemstone Posted April 26, 2005 Posted April 26, 2005 It's not really aimed at girls, it just very humourous. You really need to plunk down and see a few of the episodes.They are quite funny. Except for the second epsiode. That crap was embarrassing as all hell after such a greta premiere episode. Not sure what I think about this new 'anime'. So far the designs don't work for me because the PPG should be super deformed with big heads on tiny little bodies. They look that way because the whole show is a parody of super girl anime series (not that the series is geared towards girls). So I don't know what to think. Guess we'll wait and see.
NERV Posted April 26, 2005 Posted April 26, 2005 it seems like the more recent episodes are actually gears towards kid, not as funny, you can tell the new ones by a certain change in animation, there were 2 or 3 animaiton changes the most recent one is the start of the crappy eps, same with dexters lab, after they changed the characters designs the show was suddenly less funny

Man, I still remember my favorite PPG episode though. It was the one where practically every line was a Beatles reference. Man, that was awesome. I really don't think a lot of the jokes or themes from PPG will translate that well to Japanese. (This irks me, though. PPG has always been an anime. "Anime" isn't that special of a word; it means the same thing in Japanese as it does in French.)
wolfx Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 nope sorry, don't like it. it will lose everything in this translation.the show is only superficially about the girls anyway, it really is all about parodys and jokes. and these weapons look stupid. the girls are supposed to be super strong and shoot lazerbeams. that clip, other than having the girls and their appropriate colors doesn't understand the show at all. there are lots of shows in japan that just don't work when translated, or even subbed (shows with lots of play on word jokes). i think this is one that won't work in japan. Dude, this is made in japan FOR the japanese market. It will work. Sure the basic slapstick comedy/parody style will be lost in the conversion, but i think this is basically a anime-ised mahou shoujo conversion. So don't expect it to have the same zani-ness of the original. Besides, there's already a subbed version of the original PPG in Japanese. Its pretty alright IMHO.
Lightning Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 it was funny seeing the girls do the "up yours" motion, lol.
Stamen0083 Posted April 27, 2005 Posted April 27, 2005 It'll probably be written to parody Japanese culture or something more familiar to the Japanese, so it will work fine. They would be stupid to try to get American humor to work in Japan.
Lightning Posted September 17, 2006 Posted September 17, 2006 weird.....if they were 18 and had breasts, I'd actually be interested, lol.
Hikuro Posted September 17, 2006 Posted September 17, 2006 Well while I'm not too interested in the anime, the op and ending themes are kind of addicting to listen too, espically the ending theme.
Sumdumgai Posted September 17, 2006 Posted September 17, 2006 Watched the beginning of the first episode, but the lameness burned too much. I never liked ppg to begin with, so no surprise.
Noriko Takaya Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 Liked the original PPG, but this has gotta go. Downloaded the first two episodes, but I could not even make it through the first 15 minutes of the first one.
Zentrandude Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 What the? Let me guess, does it involve something with tenticals?
wolfx Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 Yea i seen the 1s ep too....it was pretty bad...not even a kid with limited intelligence would watch it. I like my powerpuff girls to remain made of Sugar, Spice and everything Nice.
TSP Posted September 25, 2006 Posted September 25, 2006 Liked the original PPG, but this has gotta go. Downloaded the first two episodes, but I could not even make it through the first 15 minutes of the first one. Woah! You managed to watch 5 more minutes than I did. PPGZ suck awfully bad cause they have fingers, better animation and fingers. They don't need fun and crazy trashmovies like story or Townsville. PPG rules!
