Confusing Japanese Cartoon Things

So occasionally I go on to wikipedia and look up random stuff when I am procrastinating. Today I am procrastinating on a story for my creative writing class. Any way I decided to look up stuff about Cartoon Network and the different shows that were on it. After having watched almost the entire marathon of The Powerepuff Girls last month I decide to type that in and check out how the show was created.Was I suprised to find out that the show has a Japanese spin-off that was made after the original show ended in 2003.It is called Powerpuff Girls Z and it is all fucked up.

I sat and watched clips because I didn't believe it was real and trust me it is all to real.They took a cartoon that was generally funny and enjoyable and turned it into a horrifying bastardized pile of Japanese weirdness.Craig McCraken,who has created some of my favorite animated shows like The Powerpuff Girls and Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, more than likely had no control over the decision to make a hyper-active seizure inducing mess of a show like this,but Cartoon Network did and for that I say shame on you.

Anyway if you want to check out the adventures of "Hyper Blossom","Rolling Bubles",and "Powered Buttercup" here is a link to the website.

If you wish to see the confusing and bizarre for the show here you go.
