Only in Japan

The PowerPuff Girls have evolved
Sugar. spice. and everything nice. 

    Remember hearing those words on Saturday morning while watching Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup kick bad guy butt in the Powerpuff Girls? The show was one of my favorite past times. I'd sit there and watch the show and cheer on the girls as they battled monsters, evil doers, and overcame everyday life troubles like bedtime and school. Sadly, the show came to an end - but it took another route in Japan.

     The show may not have been renewed for a new season in America, but the Japanese have taken the show and given it a makeup over. Known as Demashitaa in Japan, the show starts as No longer are the girls some experiment gone wrong, but instead they are normal girls who have been accidently zapped with chemical Z, making them super heroes. Not only that, but the girls look human! They have fingers, a nose, eyebrows, and all the other humanistic features that the original American girls were not given.I've actually found an English dub of the episodes via Youtube. Sadly, there are no reports that Cartoon will take up this new adaptation of the show for US audiences. So this is just another product that is only in Japan.

What do you think of the PowerPuff Girls? What shows do you miss?

You can watch all the English dubbed episodes on this site!

  2. Cartoonnetwork is actually going to release a new version of The Power Puff Girls in Septemeber. I doubt it has an anime feel to it, but it'd be pretty cool to check it out.
