Apropos of Cool

Powerpuff Girls Z?

I have done some snooping around (ie, following links); here is a quick digest.
The anime is a joint venture between Toei Animation, Aniplex, and Cartoon Network.
Character posters from the Tokyo Animation Fair.
Montage of screenshots from the preview episode there.
Analysis of the preview (translated from here)
Video clip: Combat
Video clip: Transformation

I think it's all pretty cool.  That or a hideous abomination.  One or the other.

Woah... that looks pretty neat. I like the weapons. But they've kinda turned them into sailor scouts! T_T

Its just powerpuff girls crossed with sailor moon..

It can never capture the greatness that is Powerpuff Girls.. not in anime and like that anyway..

BUT! meh, each to his or her own.

Hideous Abomination!

They've removed all the cuteness! PPG works because its ickle cutesy girls doing violent, powerful stuff - all before bedtime! The Z version is just wrong.
