The Powerpuff Girls

Whoop, sorry.

Now make your 100th post special.

Actually...

Also, this is what the show is going to look like.



Honestly, not too bad. It's a little simplified from the original's designs, but that fits the bill pretty well. And truthfully, I was never a big fan of the show's art to begin with. The UPA style has always worn thin for me. Powerpuff and Dexter's were shows that I came back to for writing rather than animation.

I had to stop reading halfway through you hating the show's art.

Anyway, I think Butttercup's hair is positioned a bit weirdly but besides that, I can dig it.

Yay! They don't look like abominations now!

I probably won't see this new show, though. The original series overstayed its welcome by a few too many seasons (and a few pointless spinoffs). I just feel burned out on PPG.

I'm a UPA (mid-century aesthetics in general really) kind of person, though mercifully they didn't mess with the designs here TOO much.

[Avaitor]

I really like Hanna-Barbera's earlier look (hence why I've always admired the first season of Johnny Bravo's look so much), but UPA is a little too cutesy and flat for me. I've also just never found their cartoons very entertaining, with some exceptions.

According to this article, CN UK should be airing the series sometime in either March or April. That should mean the premiere date for the U.S. isn't that far off now.

Teaser on CN's Twitter account.

EDIT: Longer teaser on YouTube.

Last two seasons of the original might have been rough, but I never got tired of the Powerpuff Girls. As long as this new one is good I plan to keep up with it.



I wonder if there will be any new characters?

[gunswordfist]

If there's a new Powerpuff Girl, I walk.

[Avaitor]

What if it's Bunny?
