The next video for the Crapathon

So because I obviously hate all of you, I present you "Demashita! Powerpuff Girls Z." I think that speaks for itself. If this doesn't make it to the Crapathon, I don't know what will ( Read more... )

Bubbles is FAR to scantally clad! As a fan of the powerpuff girls I am not happy nor do I like that these little girls do not seem to be an accident created by sugar spice and everything nice combined with cemical X. And I don't care that I shouldn't cry!

I love that the Japanese company substituted sugar, spice, and everything nice with a RICEBALL. God, Japan, thanks for being stereotypical once again.

But I must admit there is something amusing about giant-anime-style Mojo Jojo sticking small children in a cage and stealing their candy. XD

Prehaps it comes from the old Japanese proverb:
Girls are made of Riceballs
Boys are made of Raw Fish

It's a rough translation, but I think it's that.

Hey, you don't call me a red-haired devil witch for nothing. :D

And since you missed it, one of Blossom's attacks is "Strawberry Riceball Spin," and professor Utonium has a son named Ken and an annoying talking robot dog.

And the robot dog calls the Powerpuff Z Girls

And Bubbles's attack is called, "Bubbles Champagne," which sounds more tasty than dangerous.

Objectively speaking, the show isn't that bad. We have great animation quality, great sound and the characterization is on point. The writing left something to be desired but that may be due to the sub-par subtitling.

I can see why they made the changes they did. Little kids in America don't like the same things that little kids in Japan do despite the popularity of certain franchises like Yu-Gi-Oh! and Pokemon.

You can't really compare the two because the new version of PPG is just how another culture interpreted the old. (I find it quite fascinating that Buttercup threw up gang signs during her transformation.)

Although I'm certainly not a fan of TV Tokyo or the new version of PPG, try to keep cultural contexts in mind when you're talking about this. When it comes down to it, what flys here won't fly there.

Also, the comments on YouTube proves why I hate 90% of the Anime community. I can't wait to see all of the Shoujo-ai fanfics for this.
