The Powerpuff Girls was one of my favorite Cartoon Cartoons growing up. I remember every Friday when I was coming home from school and watch some awesome cartoons like Dexter's Lab, Samurai Jack and of course The Powerpuff Girls. But the question is, does it still hold up today? Does it still have that combination of Sugar, Spice, and Everything Nice. Well, the answers are YES, and YES. This is still one of the best things Cartoon Network has ever made. This show is about three little girls named Blossom, Bubbles,and Buttercup who uses their awesome superpowers to defend their good old Townsville USA from crime, monsters, and super villains. All that while living their cute, normal childhood lives. This is one fun and kick ass show. The action scenes are very creative and surprisingly visceral. You can feel the intensity and the sweat that's put in to those action scenes. Also, it can get really bloody at times. Like for example when Buttercup beats up Ace when she sees her sisters in trouble, there's blood coming out of his nose. Or, when Bubbles beats up all those monsters in a simulation and she takes one of the monster's horns and throws it at another monster's mouth. It's gruesome! The animation is simple but effective. It is very clever how you see The Powerpuff Girls themselves as the only cute ones and the background characters had a very sharp edge to it. The supporting characters are really good too. Professor Utonium plays a big role as being a father to the Girls despite him being their "creator". Miss Bellum was a very intelligent character and The mayor of Townsville was an amazing comic relief. Also, I really love the fact that The Powerpuff Girls is a spoof on superhero entertainment and anime. This is one of my favorite superhero shows along with Justice League, The Tick, Batman TAS, Superman TAS, and Spectacular Spider-Man. And what's a great superhero show without it's villains. Mojo Jojo is freaking awesome. He is one of my favorite cartoon villains of all time. The way he repeats himself while monologue is hilarious, his story is well fleshed out, and his motivation for hating the Girls is clear. Him was awesome along with Morbucks, Fuzzy Lumpkins, and let's not forget The Rowdyruff Boys. Those Boys play the perfect opposite to The Powerpuff Girls. Overall, this show is a whole lot of fun. It has great characters, great action set pieces, great animation, awesome soundtrack, and great replay value. Maybe seasons 5 and 6 aren't that great, but it still has some good episodes. It's one of my favorite Cartoon Network shows along with Adventure Time, Regular Show, Steven Universe, and Samurai Jack. If Cartoon Network didn't squander a good show like it's reboot series and the anime series, then it just might be one the greatest Cartoon shows ever made.
