Super Heroines Reborn?

Alright, so last time I decided to bring some 'breaking news' to the table, I was popularizing a rather clever gag... But this time I swear it to be true. The Powderpuff girls who we've all come to know and love (or perhaps hate?) have been given a brand new redesign!



Interesting no? However this does not spell the demise of the original crew of unproportionately drawn kindigardians... This is actually more of a spin off... The Anime kind of spin off to be precise. And of course, mixed feelings are abound.

So here's what we know thus far... The new Japanamation will be titled "Demashita! Powderpuff Girls Z" which is roughly translated to "And They're Off! Powderpuff Girls Z". The girls are no longer sisters, nor do they retain any ties to professor Utonium, which brings me to my next point... The drastically different story.

The city of Townsville is a thing of the past. Our new setting? Tokyo City (Of course!). Professor Utonium creates the mythological "Chemical X". Somehow, a daifuku falls into the mixture, transforming it to the much more interesting "Chemical Z". His son Ken (a new addition to the franchise), blasts the Chemical Z into a mountain in order to set the weather back to normal (because I suppose shooting unstable chemicals at the problem would be the first course of action a scientist would take) and as expected in such a show, this in turn creates a side effect that gives birth to the new Powderpuffs and their villainous foes. (Hurray for cliche story lines!)

As the girls are now super heroines by accident (rather than the original 'borne with the powers' motif), they create alter egos for these new super forms. They then gain the ability to transform between these aliases through sparkling and colourful sequences. Which makes this series, the new Sailor Moon copy cat.

The girls are now known as "Momoko Akatsutsumi" (Blossom), "Miyako Goutokuji" (Bubbles) & "Kaoru Matsubara" (Buttercup). I'm unsure as to whether they will refer to themselves as the American names while in 'Super Form', but the terms do work their way into the transformation sequence.

Little else is solidified in the English speaking community as this project is only just taking shape in Japan, and the availability of FanSubbed variations of the currently released episodes are scarce if available at all.

Oh and for those of you who STILL think this is another prank... Feast your eyes upon the opening and ending sequences of the series. Oh ye of little faith...
