[@Yinyanyeow]

You know the funny thing... I enjoy the Powerpuff Girls Z! It wasn't the best but it's more faithful than what THIS reboot is.

[@lucapeyrefitte6899]

True and I loved the original ppg to death and really liked powerpuff girls z anime and manga.

[@flowerbunny91]

+Luca Peyrefitte I used to think the original ppg was a Japanese show. because of the ending song" buttercup...she is the toughest fighter." It sounded like a japenese song that got changed to English.

[@jbark678]

+flowerbunny91 I believe a Japanese band did the ending and a few in show songs.

[@UltraBomber64]

Nope. The band who performed the original PPG ending theme is called Bis and they're from Scotland. Amanda MacKinnon sung the vocals for that theme.

[@shattermind9355]

I didn't like Powerpuff Girls Z enough to finish it, but after seeing clips of this reboot, it didn't even make me want to start watching it.

[@kyazarshadala8114]

The show makes me want to self destuct.

[@lisabarnes924]

*Lisa Barnes used Self-DESTUCT*

[@deadchannel4792]

[CN CEO's Sturdy] CN CEO endured the hit!

[@bellbito7318]

LOL.

[@aceofheartss1972]

*bubbles cries* Man: Why is it so fake? Me: LOL

[@legoking6165]

Dancing Dolphin. That man is called Jontron. You should look him up.

[@gokuxsephiroth4505]

You vaguely mentioned Miraculous Ladybug! That verifies all my unhealthy obsessions with that show!

[@ank6654]

You mentioned Miraculous Ladybug. That verifies MY obsession with that show!

[@gokuxsephiroth4505]

Awesome N KeyBlade Hahaha! It's nice to know at least one more intelligent person likes it! The problem with it is that whilst I actually love it, and the animation is fabulous and lends itself to action scenes, my family comes in and sees me watching it and they're like: "You haven't watched Dexter yet, and you'll watch this?" Are you planning a review on it? It would really help in defending it to my friends! XD

[@daisukedoi9284]

+Goku x Sephiroth I don't think that show is honestly all that great, in my opinion. Something in the show rubs me the wrong way

[@gokuxsephiroth4505]

TheHumanSonikku I can get that. It definitely falls into the category of "For children" unlike something like Gravity Falls or Steven Universe which can hit both kids and adults, so it's very bright and colourful and the dialogue is simple and the show formulaic. I can see how that would rub someone the wrong way. Tbh, it's probably not really all that great; I'm not even sure exactly why I like it as an adult. I guess I can see the imagination in it, and it's easy to watch, and I like the characters. 'Cept for Chloe. She can rot in hell.

[@DaVideoGameBeastr]

I thought it was already pretty popular.

[@izzie2194]

"A bird and a racoon person do stuff" is the best explanation of Regular Show I've ever heard!

[@TheDerek14]

That example you used with Steven Universe with the Garmet movement isn't really an error. Its a type of animation where they do multiple strokes in one shot that give it that blur effect. It's a stylistic choice that is often easier on animators.

[@adrianareyes8496]

TAWOG made a whole episode where him and Darwin sit around a computer and watch videos on a website like youtube and the whole episode basically satires the different type of youtube videos there are without trying to be relatable This my friend is how its done

[@icecreamhero2375]

no the characters are relatable

[@adrianareyes8496]

icecream hero Yeah the characters are relatable but they don't try to hard in an embarrassing sense

[@icecreamhero2375]

Adriana Reyes i don't get what you are saying at all

[@adrianareyes8496]

icecream hero Ok some kid shows try to relate to kids in a cringey way, Like when your parents try to act "hip" and "cool" Tawog doesn't do that but the characters are relatable because the creators didn't think like that

[@icecreamhero2375]

Adriana Reyes oh... i still like 2016 PPG its funny

[@Drixenol86]

For once can we have a reboot that isn't dumbed down and tries too hard to appeal to the current gen? At least the Nickelodeon Ninja Turtles appealed to both old and new fans.

[@allendepacheco3419]

Well maybe Ben 10 could be a good reboot only because the original creators are remaking this series. Unfortunately, the franchise is waaaay too saturated so maybe it won't be parised or even respected as much as the other shows. Samurai Jack and Swat Katz have continuations and the creators (who are happened to be the original creators of the shows) are trying to have the continuations to take place years after the original show and give it a slightly different tones. The main problem with reboots these days is that the creators are not fans of the original, have other plans aside making good stories, or are trying to play safe.

[@carlbloke8797]

Drixenol86 There's also MLP, Voltron and Transformers Prime which are good

[@stephenwells6434]

Ironically, the crossover of CN's two biggest fuck-ups of the past decade wound up being a decent episode. Though, it felt more like the original Powerpuff Girls crossing over with the rebooted Teen Titans rather than a true crossover of both reboots.

[@christinahunt9644]

"Yes, that is an actual quote from that movie. I'm not kidding. That is the deepest shit I have ever heard and it's from fucking Spy Kids 2."

[@sethteenweed7938]

If this show steals an Emmy's from Steven Universe I'm gonna be pissed.

[@sethteenweed7938]

*emmy

[@ohlookanarrowarentthesegam6767]

That's how Weirdmageddon started

[@apollorock3r244]

Steven Universe, unfortunately didn't win that Emmy. The good news, the craptacular PPG reboot also lost that award to Robot Chicken (the one that won).

[@ohlookanarrowarentthesegam6767]

APOLLOROCK3R Wait, did the Emmy's already happen?

[@apollorock3r244]

Last Sunday, Robot Chicken won the Emmy.

[@SuperStars-vm7nk]

I Really LOVE CRAIG MCCRACKEN

[@SuperStars-vm7nk]

3 SHOWS IS GREATEST

[@lisabarnes924]

☆Super stars2014♡ *has a shrine made for Craig McCracken*

[@user-idontknow984]

Me too

[@abc.6223]

Nothing does memes like AWOG though, they really pull off internet jokes imo.

[@noodlequ33n69]

Gumball is one of the most creative shows on Cartoon Network. It's like a slice of life with a dash of magic and rainbows!

[@abc.6223]

Rudey Doodles Yeah, absolutely. It's a pretty one of a kind show.

[@noodlequ33n69]

I also love your Undyne thumbnail picture.

[@yourmom9931]

Awog is the funniest show on CN.Nothing competes with its humour

[@darrelsam419]

Arianna B. I'm always really impressed by how AWOG manages to parody Internet trends, in a way that does seem cringey or like it's trying to be 'trendy'. It manages to be very relatable sometimes (like this entire episode where they were parodying KZbin, right down to the ads that you had to wait for 5 seconds to skip).

[@SilentMeteorite]

Who can't wait for the new Powerpuff Ben 10 GO reboot :,)

[@SilentMeteorite]

I'm being sarcastic by the way :D

[@danito20]

I do. I can't wait for PPG to kick TTG's ass

[@SilentMeteorite]

+danito20 I was actually making fun of the new Ben 10 reboot not the crossover but yeah, that crossover is gonna be garbage but I can't wait to see it XD

[@danito20]

I'mReallyBadAtThinkingOfUsernames:D Shut up. I want PPG to break the TTG's necks

[@SilentMeteorite]

+danito20 me too, tho XD

[@RobBob6197]

Not sure how many times I've already said this, but we're almost close to a new dark era of animation. Just wait for EMOJIMOVIE: EXPRESS YOURSELF.

[@supertalentscout619]

Don't worry Tara Strong you'll always be the poster child of my childhood.

[@Bevalev]

NOBODY likes the new powerpuff girls.

[@firerage8302]

I might be the only who is okay with ppg 2016 and absolutely loathes teen titans go,seriously f&*k teen titans go

[@ImsbananaS.]

@@firerage8302 yea teen titans go is a disgrace to teen titans and (almost) everyone

[@user-qo3ob8ks8o]

The new power puff girls is the modern version of yo yogi!

[@Moelester42000]

"Remember about two weeks ago when I made that Mojo meme generator?" I've heard enough.

[@woolyvideos]

At 3:14 that was not an animation error. The reason why Garnett had multiple arms is to convey the illusion of quick movement. That frame and the others associated with it are seen for a brief period of time which is why they're able to communicate movement to the audience without confusing it.

[@JoshioE110]

I think this character from Mulan 1 put it best for the PPG reboot: “YOU ARE A DISGRACE!!!!! You may look the PowerPuff Girls, but you will never bring fans of the original honor!”

[@liklik4115]

"when asked to greenlight his second season he said no," okay sir.

[@n64gamefan]

The PPG not being voiced by the original cast is like Mario not being voiced by Charles Martinet.

[@creepykongs6662]

By developing them. THIS SHOW HAS NO CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT AND ALL TE CHARACTERS ARE A GIGANTIC STEPS BACKWARDS FROM THE ORIGINAL!!!!

[@AliceJem]

Creepykongs 666 😱

[@Isaac-gh5ku]

I like Sera Bellum when I was a kid. Not because of her body, but because of her character and personality. I was pretty much oblivious to her well-endowed body.

[@Paul-jo1it]

I LOVE THE CHANGE YOU MADE TO HOW YOU LOOK (animated) btw it kinda looks like theodd1'soutcomic!

[@caseyj5637]

Garnet having three arms isn't an animation error.

[@taureleafsilver]

thank you. It bothered me that he is mistaking animation error with "sometimes you have to go weirdly off-model for the animation to look right"

[@knightbrian92]

Bring us back the GainGreenGang,RowdyRuffBoyz,Him,Powerpuff Princess and FuzzyLumpkins.

[@SuperCeasar777]

seriously the editing in your video is outstanding and I just love the overall tone please continue to make more great content I definitely subscribed after this video

[@thegamesresearcher]

After watching half an episode of the new PPG i've a newfound appreciation for that nerd guy that wanted to seal the original girls in mint condition...

[@warrior5096]

If both the Powerpuff Girls and the Teen Titans can't be violent then they're not superheroes

[@joematthew495]

Please make videos more often. Your reviews are awesome and it sucks we only get one once every month or so

[@Eggbubble]

Great video, you really talked well about a lot of the mess that is this reboot (and thanks for talking more in depth about the mess and offensive that is the unicorn episode). But one thing, smears (like the SU example of garnet with multiple arms) is an animation effect, whuch is done purposely ;) its not an error

[@MrBrandonStar]

in my opinion it's a standard copy and paste generic kids super hero show wearing the powerpuff girls skins

[@HerpDerpWalrus]

I love your stuff dude. You're really funny and informative.

[@acclivityacclivity9019]

Look. TBH. I'm 10. But I hate the new Powerpuff Girls, and I knew the old Powerpuff girls before. The classic one. The new one, when I watched an episode called "Painbow" It just wanted me to take a knife and stab it in my heart.

[@dangerbunnyy]

I just really wanted to say that I'm super impressed with your editing and overall quality of these videos. You don't usually see such good videos on smaller channels! Keep up the good work, ANK!

[@DanielLopez-ih2fy]

Since I saw you feature episodes of Gumball in the video, I'm interesting in hearing your thoughts on the show. It's amazing in my opinion ( especially that episode "The Nest")

[@hildahilda9468]

"Congratulations!"

[@fun4513]

"Congratulations!"

[@lisabarnes924]

"congratulations!"

[@SuperClaire999]

'Congratulations~'

[@attackthebluesky4160]

Creative Name congratulations

[@PokémonFan214-n9q]

🎉🥳👐🙌👏

[@mistychan9817]

Omg, the original powerpuff girls credit song at the outro brings so many childhood memories back.

[@zenorockbell3023]

If you want a good PPG reboot that's actually good and attempts to set itself differently from the original... watch PPGZ.

[@MrFlamingpride]

See, I have to disagree with your newfound respect for TTG. Neither show is great, but at least PPG doesn't directly try to offend and attack fans of the original. Even though it panders, it still remains civil and respectful to some degree. TTG doesn't have that and there is absolutely no respect to be found on that show.

[@MrFlamingpride]

+The Algebraic Finn You have a point there...

[@MrFlamingpride]

+The Algebraic Finn I see. Adding fuel to the fire tends to do that. At least you can see the value in something I can't.

[@rockcandies9999]

Yeah, but at least TTG is different enough from the original so that you can like it for its own reasons. PPG can't have their own identity because its too close to the original.

[@MrFlamingpride]

+Moth craft Also true, but at the same time, it leeches off of the original and rips off other properties while claiming to do the opposite. I'm not sure if they are doing that now, but that needs to be noted.

[@caseyj5637]

You can't harass a show. So what if people hate TTG? It's not like the creators actually gave a shit about what they were creating as they didn't watch the original show, so why should the audience? If you can't accept that not everyone is going to like what you make, then don't release it to the public. You don't respond to criticism, and reasonable criticism at that, spewing hate and vitriol.

[@Mariofans-gn1lu]

1998 powerpuff girls beats the 2016 powerpuff girls

this channel is really good and you're going to go far. A++

You've just earned a new subscriber, my friend!

[@gfggism]

You know what's funny it's score on IMDb has gotten worst, it's not at 3.6/10. And I have a feeling it will only get lower

[@legoking6165]

ShadowJedi. Can you imagine if this show was nominated for an academy award for outstanding children's program over both Gravity falls and Steven universe? If that ever happened, I would just assume someone fudged the votes.

[@angiemiller8708]

they ruined bubbles for me she was my favorite ppg

[@GodzillaPowerPuffFan]

12:16 I say pop you say blah *upchucks lunch* had me rolling on the floor laughing

[@fawfulmark2]

skip to 12:30 for absolute destruction. Thank gawd we have Samurai Jack now to set things right.

[@astralcat9469]

"Kids like some of that hip rap music, right?" Behold, the birth of the One Piece Rap.

[@maximo8066]

this probably the reason why Nintendo decided to put the Pokemon franchise on Disney XD maybe because of the decisions Cartoon Network makes when it comes to cartoons I mean they have lots of other options to use like bringing back swat katz or thundercats at least we got young justice again.

[@manuelalbertoromero9528]

They seriously have to fix their US schedules.

I really like these long reviews, please do more!

[@isaiahwilliams2563]

All the evangelion references made me so happy

Just stumbled upon your channel (this is my first video) but this is really well made. You certainly deserve way more subs! Keep up the awesome work and I'm excited to see what new you bring to the table as a reviewer

[@ToastedNoodle]

You have an amazing channel. Your an amazing editor. Keep at it, you deserve more subs!

[@bellbito7318]

Gee i just realized something, your channel is extremely underrated.

[@sisterlillybug3142]

Can you do a review of Wander Over Yonder? It needs more love and respect AND IT NEEDS A THIRD SEASON!!!!!!

[@yourpal4l]

This is really well done, better than PanPizza's. Keep it up man!

[@fun4513]

did you just say... PanPizza? yes. with or without RebelTaxi? PanPizza. PANPIZZA. PANPIZZA!! PANPIZZA!! PANPIZZA!! ^^^me failing at trying to remake that chocolate scene from SBSP

It's juice and jam time

Oh My God. They didn't ask the original Powerpuff voice actors! WHY?! They must've been like "WHAT THE HELL!?"

It always confuses me when the pink ghost has phone and knows about selfies being trapped inside

[@lisabarnes924]

3:31 made me laugh harder than I should have.

First Teen Titans Go, then the PPG Teboot, and NOW A NEW BEN 10 REBOOT. THE RIDE NEVER E N D S ! !

you sir just gained a sub for using kh2 footage and appreciating Wander over yonder(which only a very few people do)

[@superStardollarrewar]

I don't know you, but I think I like your stuff! Keep it up, mate!

[@CaileyMcMcKenna]

I’m embarrassed to say this but I genuinely enjoy Miraculous Ladybug. The new PPG is garbage. The fact that they’re in middle school is ridiculous too.

[@sillylittlejenn]

Don't be embarrassed. I'm 25 and studied literature and it's one of my favorites, lol

[@juliejacinto9130]

OH MY GOD! I just went and typed SAHARA DESERT and found the EXACT picture!

[@battybuddy]

I said it once, but I really want to know if they're going to make any sort of jokes about Tara Strong still voicing Raven but NOT voicing Bubbles- and BOTH CHARACTERS BEING IN THE SAME THING...

[@MedioTaffy]

10/10 video as usual! Keep up the great work!

[@macejaso]

I think the unicorn episode was spot on. According to stats Forty percent who go through the change want to change back. Some will commit suicide whether they go through the change or not. Whether people are supportive or negative of the change dos not seem to effect the individual.

[@LaineMann]

So you think an episode which basically bashes people's choice and beats us over the head with the concept that being transgender is bad is okay? That's sad.

[@macejaso]

+Sheridan Mann ... did you not see my stats? Forty percent! that is bad. should they lie to make them feel better? go stick your head in the ground I guess.

[@LaineMann]

stats aren't what made this episode offensive. And no they shouldn't lie, but they already shouldn't make it blatantly clear that they're telling people being transgender is bad.

[@macejaso]

Sheridan Mann I dont understand they cant express the views of how the forty percent feel after they chop off their dicks? Are you mad because they didnt express the views of the sixty who liked it? Why dos it matter as long as its true?

[@LaineMann]

I find it sad that you're defending what's CLEARLY transphobia.

[@spectralcomet1976]

Wowie, your editing and videos are amazing ! How does this channel not have more subscribers?

[@JYDY-if5rf]

Peter MacNicol should’ve been in this show as the genetically altered evil super genius and criminal mastermind hamster snowball

Yay, a new channel to subscribe to!

[@machohedgehog1725]

I also hate how Buttercup is the main hero :( not everyone likes Buttercup you know (Me)

[@icecreamhero2375]

in the old show Bubbles got the most screen time

[@EctricShXck]

icecream hero yea ik but in this reboot I want all the main heroes to get the same amount of screen time

[@icecreamhero2375]

Dimondman_ Modder well they are getting alot so far

[@EctricShXck]

icecream hero really? I stopped watching because one of the main girls save the day instead of all of them

[@StarryKitsuKat]

+Dimondman_ Modder lol and they hardly even "save the day". They've made them so weak too, it's sad

[@ryandye8124]

powerpuff girls 2016 is like the mobile dungeon keeper to me. i think this because the old on was this cool game that did its own thing. while the mobile game gave up the style that made dungeon keeper a game i come back to today. they used modern micro-transactions and a wait for digging up blocks aka the only way you can grow your dungeon.

[@halyomorpha]

Your Neon Genesis Evangelion references are on point. Excellent episode.
