The Cartoon Network series Powerpuff Girls is back and the network billed it as “reimagined” ten years after its original debut.
The designs of the characters do not differ very much from the old series but the trio are voiced by a new team of voice talents : Amanda Leighton as Blossom, Kristen Li as Bubbles and Natalie Palamides as Buttercup. Tom Kenny is back as the Narrator and the Mayor. We are not sure if the girls will be fighting the same kooky bunch of villains like SHE or Mojo Jojo again though.

Anime fans can spot a lot of Studio Ghibli homage in the old series too and not only that, the series is renowned for very dynamic camera angles during action sequences.
Remember, sugar, spice and everything nice and of course Chemical X.
