Powerpuff Girls Z is an anime that adapts the Powerpuff Girls cartoon into a magical girl/henshin superhero anime. In this, Professor Utonium and his son, Ken, create Chemical Z after a cake is dumped in, but when Ken hastily decides to use it to stop an abnormal snowstorm that occurs, it causes black and white Z-rays to fall in Tokyo City (called New Townsville in the English dub done by Ocean Productions). Three thirteen-year-old-girls, Momoko, Miyako, and Kaoru, are hit by the white Z-rays, giving them the power to become Hyper Blossom, Rolling Bubbles, and Powered Buttercup. However, the black Z-rays would hit other people and even animals, turning them into supervillains.
This series is an alternate universe at best (and is proven in the second-to-last episode, where the original Powerpuff Girls make a cameo as the PPGZ girls land in their world), and as a result, the characters act differently, and there are characters exclusive to this incarnation. Is this better than the Powerpuff Girls show we know and love? If it's the original from the late 1990's, then the answer is no, as the original show has its own charm that Z decides not to try and emulate. However, I can say this is better than the 2016 reboot that is seen by fans of the original as horrible. Managing to adapt the girls into a magical girl anime, Powerpuff Girls Z is worth checking out.

I had no idea any anime adaption would be this worth watching. In fact, I find it even better than the show it was based on. Please note that I love both this and the Power Puff Girls from 1998, but I actually prefer the even more awesome Power Puff Girls Z. The story and design are creative, and the theme song? That's even better than the original. There is nearly nothing I don't like about this. However, I would only give this show 9/10 because it got cancelled very early on. In my opinion, this belongs on TV and needs to have more episodes made. Aside from that, Power Puff Girls Z is highly recommended for all who have seen Power Puff Girls and even those who haven't.
Now, I know this is set in a different world to the original powerpuff girls which is a nice change of pace and it is accompanied with pretty good animation. But the stories make no sense and they are extremely childish. They are riddled with plot holes and other stuff. I don't mind the new designs and I do think Mojo Jojo , fuzzy lumpkins and Morbucks looks really good in this show but Him looks disgusting.
I would not watch this show, not even the good episodes. The original is way better and even the reboot is like moanna compared to this.

That's it it's just really good seeing all the characters from the show in an anime form
When I heard that PPG was going to be turn into an anime I was like "Oh hell yeah!!!" cause I could already imagine what a PPG anime would have been like and how cool it would be compare to the original show but after the show premiered and after 26 episodes into it my enthusiasm had went from skepticism to disappointment because honestly... PPGZ isn't what I imagined nor was I expecting as an anime style PPG series.
Compare to the original this version is nothing short but childish, ridicules, illogical and well, once again... Disappointing! It ignores the traits & essence that made the original series great in the first place to the point that the show was more on comedy and less on action rather than being a perfect balance of both as the original show. For the main characters themselves, they were portrayed very different than the original counterparts in terms of characteristics/personalities not to mention they came off as being less powerful than their original counterparts.
I highly wouldn't recommend this to anyone who is a hardcore fan of the PPG, it won't be worth the look! In edition, I would advise to just stick with the original show because this one will only make the one that it is loosely based on look much better in comparison.
