Cartoon Network celebrates the 20th anniversary of a unique anime spinoff, created in collaboration with TV Tokyo, Aniplex, and Toei Animation. This anime, a reimagining of a popular Cartoon Network franchise, features a new story, character designs, and age changes, including a twist on the original's character origins and powers. Despite its popularity, it never received an official broadcast in the United States.
is now celebrating the 20th anniversary for the wildest spinoff the channel has ever helped to produce, and it’s an anime that didn’t even get an official broadcast run in the United States after all this time. Cartoon Network has some of the most memorable franchises in animation history, and many of them have found themselvesin the last few years. But while those come as a surprise, there’s one show in particular that really seemed to come out of left field..
Changing the origins of the show’s characters, changing their respective powers, and most notably changing their ages and designs,was planned as part of a collaboration between Cartoon Network, TV Tokyo, Aniplex, and Toei Animation. The show was made without any input fromCutie Honey Flash character designer Miho Shimogasa providing the new character designs for the anime. It was a completely different beast compared to the original series.
loosely took elements from the original Cartoon Network show and invented an entirely different kind of magical girl anime experience instead. For example, in this version Professor Utonium has a son and they live in Tokyo City. The Professor isn’t setting out to “create the perfect little girl,” but instead is working on a more powerful version of Chemical X known as “Chemical Z.” When the world is in trouble, Ken ends up shooting a Chemical Z infused light beam into an iceberg and it sends the chemical ray into the sky. Which ends up hitting three eighth grade girls, who become powerful superheroes. Momoko Akatsutsumi, Miyako Gotokuji, and Kaoru Matsubara gain the ability to transform into Hyper Blossom, Rolling Bubbles, and Powered Buttercup respectively.
Conversely, there’s a black version of the Chemical Z ray that hits other animals and people around town to turn them into new anime version of famousvillains like Mojo Jojo, Fuzzy Lumpkins, the Gangreen Gang and more with all sorts of new villains added to the roster to fill out the 52 episode long run of the anime. It’s basically unrecognizable when compared to Cartoon Network’s original series Get access to exclusive stories on new releases, movies, shows, comics, anime, games and more!
