I am not a major fan of the original Powerpuff Girls cartoon. It could be really good at times, and I used to watch it while it aired, but I don't have anything much to say about it other than "It's good. It's not bad, it's not great, it's just 'good'."
By contrast, I have A LOT to say about this piece of sheit (referring to the English dub).
First: the animation. They have taken Craig McCraken's edged, distinctly "Powerpuff Girls" design and turned it into watered down anime. The character designs are boring and unmemorable (Mojo Jojo's the worst, with a design that clearly rips off Piccolo from Dragon Ball Z). The backgrounds look like they were made by a YouTube animator. Heck, I've seen web cartoons on YouTube with more professional looking animation.
Second: the characters. These are some of the most obnoxious, unfunny, zero-dimensional characters I have ever seen, and I've sat through episodes of Teen Titans Go. None of the Girls have any unique characteristics. They're not even simple archetypes. No, they are CARICATURES of archetypes: watered-down and completely interchangeable with one another. Oh, and did I mention this superhero show has NO SUPERHEROES?
Someone out there is calling foul on that statement. Let me elaborate. Would a superhero run away in terror (keywords are "in terror") at the first sign of villainy? Would a superhero allow a villain who admitted to breaking into their home walk away without a second thought? Would a superhero allow three disgusting boys to terrorize random people with their disgusting ways?
I like the original "The Powerpuff Girls" cartoon, but I think that this anime series is a terrible remake. I mean, it somehow managed to be much worse than the original cartoons having dumber characters and even less funny jokes.
The new versions of most of the characters are way more annoying than their original counterparts, and the new characters are pretty boring and clichéd. The animation is extremely poor and the new designs are ugly and uninspired, being nothing more than an incredibly generic magical-girl show.
This anime series is so bad, that I would rather watch the original "Powerpuff Girls" than this drivel.
