This is not a joke, apparently. It was just announced at the Tokyo International Anime Fair. Unfortunately, the site the news is on is japanese, so if someone could translate: http://www.watch.impress.co.jp/av/docs/20050401/taf.htm the bit about it is near the bottom of the page. someone else said this was the translation: "Toei, Aniplex and Cartoon Network has announced the Powerpuff Girls Z at Tokyo International Anime Fair 2005 on April 1. Producers are Sam Register, Seki Hiromi (Digimon) and Katsumata Hideo (Fullmetal Alchemist). Other web site says that the character design is done by Shimogasa Miho (Cutey Honey F) and directed by Kakudou Hiroyuki (Digimon)." It's airing in June in Japan, according to some other sources. If it's gonna be directed by the person who directed Fullmetal Alchemist, it just might be surprsingly good. But at the moment, I honestly don't give a fuck. The inclusion of anyone involving Digimon negates that factor.

well, if it was announced at the Tokyo International Anime Fair, it's more than likely not a hoax. But if the news spreads, eventually CN's gonna have to make an announcement or something, and we'll see if it is a hoax or not.

It's both scarey and looks better than the regular Powerpuff Girls.

SquarePupils - Buttercup's holding a Japanese game that's sort of like Jenga - the exchange student we hosted from Japan gave us one as a parting gift. Gah, I forget what the name is...

Nice movie there, GPT. PPGZ looks exactly like the old one though, just in a different style. They should just translate the American version and save some money.

To david A: What I meant by "Taking it seriously" was making it into an actual anime. Doing so I imgined would defeat the whole idea, poking fun at anime, perhaps not.
I downloaded quicktime to see it, and, yeah, very animesque while still very much like the original in terms of cartooney violence. but the PPG never needed any gay weapons, damn marketing geniuses, they beat fist on face and kick ass. The Sukeban Dekka yo-yo, the hentai retaliation hammer and the triumphant return of Sailor Mercury's useless bubbles?
Just bring back the violence and flying energy streaks, and funny jokes. And for the love of God, don't let Rikdo Koshi do anymore doujinshi.
If you liked this fellas, just wait until you see what Japan has in store for Invader Zim and South Park.
I've calld GTP a troll numerous times before, but he did come through with the dirt on this one. Thanks. You're off the list.

Anyway, if The Big O can have an episode that makes fun of Japanese giant robot cartoons, then I don't really see the problem with this.

Brace for impact.I want SO badly to be in the meeting room when it is announced to the american actors and actresses that they'll probably be dubbing to this sometime in the near future. Ah, well, like with the Loonatics, I'll wait and see what happens before passing judgement.
