"Demashita! Powerpuff Girls Z" is a fantastic and rejuvenating version of "The Powerpuff Girls," an all-American classic. The anime adaptation puts a Japanese spin to the well-known characters, turning them into magical girls who are as interesting as possible. With its mixture of action, comedy and heartfelt scenes this show can be enjoyed by anyone regardless of their age. I grew up with this and thought this was a fever dream until I came across a song called "ひまわり/ Himawari" bt Hearts grow because I was originally looking up this song "ユラユラ". So I started watching it
The anime's colorful and vibrant this style captures the true essence of each character, bringing a whole new side to their personalities. The transformation sequences felt like the old school magical girl shows. The onl…

Demashita! Powerpuff Girls Z reimagines the beloved cartoon with a fresh, anime-inspired twist. This adaptation enhances the origin stories of both the girls and the monsters, grounding them in a more coherent universe. Instead of being kindergarten-aged, the heroines are middle school students transformed by Chemical Z, allowing for deeper character development and relatable scenarios.
The series features a continuous storyline, connecting episodes that build a rich world filled with comedy, action, and mild drama. The monsters are no longer random occurrences; they are created when black Chemical Z light hits various objects, providing a consistent explanation for their emergence.
By introducing secret identities, the anime adds complexity to the girls' lives. It also strikes a balance…

Let's get right into it. I'll be blunt; this is one of the most appalling pieces of shit that I've ever seen. To pass this off as the result of adaptations in shows typically going wrong would be the understatement of the entire series, as this show has gone out of its way to be sadistic and torture its audience as much as possible. One forum commenter also apparently agreed, stating it took them two years to finish and they only did it for nostalgia and the soundtrack. (this poor poor soul....) The show's "overarching plot," if you will, is so loosely tied together that at a glance it seems completely random with no elements of foresight whatsoever. The reason for this is likely due to the overwhelming monster of the day element; Him releasing the black particles would be fine as a normal…

This....is honestly terrible.
I watched it for the cute transformations. I'm a sucker for magical girl anime. However, this "anime" is a prime example of why cartoons shouldn't be made into anime. Or at least this particular cartoon lol.
The story is all over the place. There's no character development. In fact, every episode it's almost the same thing happening over and over again. I got bored after the first two episodes and resigned to the rest of the series being "background noise" while working.
The only thing I can compliment is the art style. I did quite enjoy the art and, as mentioned above, the transformation scenes. They were cute, as were the characters. But other than that...just no.

now this may seem to be just a knock off of power-puff girls but the story is completely different than the one that appeared on CN the story line is different and the show is more of a magical girl anime it even has a transform sequence and the girls have secret identities and everything.
the character design is really nice as well and the animation for the transform sequence is by far one of my favorite things in the show. the sound was ok when i first watched it but thats because i watched it on YouTube sadly so i don't recommend you watching it there id find a better place.
over all i enjoyed the show a lot its one i would recommend to newer watchers of anime sense its simple and a quick watch i enjoyed it a lot and so did my friends who have watched it.

I usually don’t write reviews, but this will be an exception because... nostalgia.
I was 11 when I found out about this series back in 07’. I was already a huge PPG fan during my early childhood, so watching this series was so much fun. Years later, it has aged. I still have an appreciation for it.
If you’re already a fan of the original series, you’ll enjoy it just fine. It’s not perfect, but it’s durable. Be mindful of some of the changes made in the anime (the girls not being related is a prime example and are 13 instead of 5. Slight changes to some characters’ personalities).
In the long run, at least this series respected the original source material more than the 2016 reboot..

TL;DR: Powerpuff Girls Z is a blast of nostalgia from my personal childhood and a fun show to watch when you have nothing else.
L;DR
First and foremost, I've given this show the rating I did out of pure nostalgia. I never watched the original Powerpuff girls as a kid the way that my friends did, and instead I grew up on... this. It's what probably introduced me to anime and what bonded my older sister and I- hours in front of the phone watching this show. I also remember watching it dubbed, and from my vague childhood memory it wasn't that bad.
In this review I can't exactly comment on comparisons to the original Powerpuff Girls, as I have no experience with it. However, several years and about a thousand anime episodes later, I have more experience with the field of anime in general.

Most people mocking this anime with Sailor Moon for a reason, but unlike all the mahou-shoujo genre, it comes from the already popular much more brutal and regular non-anime Powerpuff Girls from Cartoon Network. However the story itself is nicely done however not faithful to the original story at all, but has many potential to continue the story in manga, even if the anime itself gained far from enough popularity than expected from the English and other asian Cartoon Network channels from the 2000s. The artstyle tastes simple and touches Scott Pilgrim in many ways. The transformation of the girls were pretty much unnecessary and Mojo's height is disturbing. The rest of the villains look okay and still faithful to the original CN version. The story is enjoyable and tries to remain as family…

Overview:
The United States is constantly getting bashed for producing horrible adaptations and ripoffs of other countries' shows, movies, etc. Many times these criticisms are justified and the American version truly was shit. Other times the the US version is judged unfairly by people who never even saw it. Today's review is an example of a shitty adaptation of an American cartoon. Have you ever wished that some country would take a beloved US cartoon and do to it what the Yanks did to "The Wicker Man?" This is that cartoon!
Background:
The original Power Puff girls was a popular US cartoon during the animation bubble of the 1990s. During the 90s, nearly every channel on American TV had a Saturday morning cartoon lineup and over 200 American cartoons were airing in any given year of…

I feel like this is the kind of series that you would enjoy so much more just by not taking it seriously. Clearly the writers weren't taking it seriously. But seeing as this has the beloved cartoon's name attached to it, of course it's going to receive a lot of hate. The point is, I think that if the producers wanted to make a joke series, they shouldn't do it with an already existing franchise that lots of people love.
Story: 4/10
Where do I begin? I'm not going to pretend that anything made sense; like I said, if I turn off my very logical mathematical mind I can follow this about as much as I can follow a lesson on adding apples and oranges. A.K.A. You simply don't. You sit back and watch. With the exception of a feel mediocre add-ins like Takaaki and Miko, the last four or so episodes…

So I know what the first comments are going to be, it’s a Powerpuff Girls knockoff. And to that, I would say yes and no. This is a slightly different story as the girls were not created with sugar, spice, and everything nice with a toxic element, but were normal school girls given powers. Yes, they made the Powerpuff Girls into an actually magical girl story with secret identities and such. They even have a ‘transformation’ sequence as the girls turn into superheroes.
Let me go over the storyline, and just to let you know, I only saw the English one so if the Japanese is different (Thank god first off if it is) then I haven’t been able to see it. So, the story is that Professor Utonium and his young son Ken were playing around with chemical X, and ended up stabilizing it with a porkbun in…

The animation had a rushed quality to it as if the episodes needed to be pushed out as soon as possible. A few scenes were reused a bit too much, excluding the transformations of course. While the story was tedious, overly goofy, and some episodes felt like barefaced copies of previous ones, it did manage to keep me amused. If it weren't for those more entertaining moments, though, it would have been a very "meh" series. The main attraction here is the immature playful comedy. I would suggest staying away from Powerpuff Girls Z if you are particularly critical with plot. (80% of the awesome is in the last three episodes. That's a bit taxing in a fifty-two episode long series, no?)

Powerpuff Girls Z (PPGZ) is the retelling of the homonymous American cartoon (I’ll just call it PPGA), the silly adventures of a trio of supergirls as they protect their world from all sorts of criminals and monsters. Instead of just stopping to a dubbed version for reasons that I only imagine being fan pleasing, Japan decided to have its own PPG series, made from scratch. And boy, did they change a lot…
This is not exactly new in the industry. Since as far as the 80’s America and Japan make their own versions of the same story. Famous examples are Macross/Roboteck, American-only sequels to Voltron Defender of the Universe, an American-only OVA conclusion to the Saber Rider and the Starsheriffs, several Japanese-only sequels and spin-offs to the Transformers. The thing is, all those shows…

So, me and my little sister (Me 13, she 5) watched this. After the first few episodes, my sister pretty much summed up the flaws. The ppg powers are greatly reduced, ("I don't like how they can ONLY use yo-yo's and stuff)...also, the voices are horrible. This anime is ALOT like Sailor Moon, but with the ppg storyline. In Sailor Moon, I was forced to watch the subbed version, due to the fact that I couldn't STAND the voices. Same with this. My sister can't read, so she was forced to watch the dub, she also hated the voices.
The characters a rewritten a bit; Blossom is still the self appointed leader, but she's a bit boy crazy. She also doesn't enjoy doing homework as much, and moral stand's have dropped from the original Blossom.
Buttercup is the most athletic girl in school, and is barel…

In a nutshell it was ok. After seeing the whole thing you can see how they stayed true to the original series, partially. They kept the old villains looks, personalities, and motives the same but also introduced some of their own to mix it up.
What bothered me the most were some of the cliches and overall placement of....well everything.
Complicated problems are solved within seconds, Professor Utonium has always built some new invention right on time in order to save the day, and they cram things that should span episodes into about 5 minutes.
Everything seemed small scaled, even the girls powers which if you knew the original show they were quite a destructive force. But now its just "Ill steal these bananas then take over the world" or "I'll get this boy to like me". Things dont reall…

I was a big Powerpuff Girls fan back when originally aired on CN. So, hearing that my much-loved animated series was getting an anime series was great news to me. However, this anime series was a great disappointment.
Story: 6 The storyline was fair. Changes of course had to be done, but the number of changes were a little too much for my tastes.
The main disappointment was just how weak they made the heroines' powers. Having yoyos and barrettes made Powerpuff girls go from an age-less great show to a kiddy show in my opinion.
Art: 10 If there was one thing standout feature about this anime series it was the art style. It looked like an anime, but still kept the overall PowerPuff look. Colors were bright and indeed colorful. It was something pleasant to see.
Sound: 5 Don't judge me to…
