Clay art looks like a '55-'56 Packard in my eyes. |

will you argue next that Sailor Moon isn't a girls cartoon// anime either ? I watched a couple of PP episodes and didn't like it found the stupid gimmick with mayor and his secretary really annoying -- Last edit: 2025-04-26 21:59:37 |

You missed out on a lot, I can tell. I thought much of it was silly, but it's because of what the series is about. Girls in kindergarten that also happen to fight some of the fiercest villains of children's cartoons ever. The villains were the best part of PPG. Some episodes I found downright disturbing as a kid. Especially that one about the glue eating kid, the one where they clone a sister that mutates and just about every episode where Him is the main antagonist. I also loved the pop-cultural references, for instance the Beatles-themed episode and the Death Star parody. The violence, gore and blood was really an eye-opener to me at the time. |

^ it means you haven't seen Ulysses 31 which came out much much earlier lots of graphic and creepy stuff, characters getting killed or even have worse fates https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N50XnT9206w or The Adventures of Galaxy Rangers , you even see dudes shot in it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMFMErp1FDM -- Last edit: 2025-04-26 22:24:51 |

You can really see the Faustian parallels between Him and Discord from MLP:FiM. |

So...? I wasn't even born yet, and you really cannot compare anime from the 80s to children's cartoons of the mid-late 90s. There are parallels, but it's a different ballpark. Part of the reason why PPG was so great was because it appeared to be a girly show on the surface, but had some really graphic content and social commentary that was still appropriate for children. I think the first anime I saw as a kid was Montana Jones. |

the way Lateef describes it, looks like i missed something.. my sister was watching it but i just went : " What the.. , their head is something like twice the size of their whole body.. " and didn't paid much attention to it |

both examples I gave are NOT anime, yes animated in japan mostly but conceived and written by westeners for Saturday morning cartoons -- Last edit: 2025-04-26 23:11:07 |

I consider it anime. Just like you consider PPG a cartoon "for girls". |

suit yourself but I am not only one sees it like that "It was a popular, but not necessarily harmonious, movement. Critics of the third wave condemned the embrace of overt displays of femininity, calling it “girly feminism " Link to "www.refinery29.com" -- Last edit: 2025-04-26 23:36:16 |

I've only seen two anime shows. The best from that is Golgo 13. |

You misunderstand me. I'm not talking about retrospective critical analysis as an adult. I'm talking about how I saw it as a kid. At first I was really sceptical, but after watching a few episodes (I was more or less forced to, it aired on Viasat 3 and the pedagogical crap on NRK bored me to death) and learning that my cousin watched it too (who was super against girly things) I was hooked. That being said, I disagreed about feminist tones back then and I probably still do. While the girls (particularly Blossom) possess Mary-Sue-type personalities, they are also ignorant to several aspects of the world around them (mainly because they're just children) and they adapt and learn from their mistakes, with guidance from supporting characters such as their father (who is a single father, by the way) and Miss Bellum, who is a badass in her own right. I cannot give any other comment as I haven't seen an episode in 23 years or so and I would probably analyze the crap out of it now. |

Thanks, Lateef. The front end looks strikingly similar to a '55-'56 Packard somehow. |
