Fans of the Powerpuff Girls will be amused by the Japanese anime “Demashita! Powerpuff Girls Z” based on the series. Cartoon Network took the Powerpuffs to Japan and reworked the premise (which was itself inspired somewhat by anime) with anime producers. The girls are not exactly the same Powerpuffs, as they are regular girls who’ve been exposed to Chemical Z, but there are many characters and plot aspects retained from the original series. Now teenagers, Hyper Blossom, Rolling Bubbles, and Powered Buttercup fight crime (of course) and have special weapons. Bubbles’ weapon is a bubble wand. The show premiered last summer and escaped my radar until the recent announcement of a Powerpuff Girls Z Nintendo DS game.
