Geek - Geeks are individuals who show a lot of creative outlet, generally are young, and are quick learners and intelligent. Geeks are in your school, workplace, church congregation, on your TV, in your magazines, and your next-door neighbors, and geeks are not limited strictly to computer-related endeavors, they don't even have to have ever touched a computer in their life. By modern definition, geeks are people who pursue a certain interest and have one or more creative outlet in their life. Concordantly, people have been labeled as or chosen to identify themselves as physics geeks, mathematics geeks, engineering geeks, sci-fi geeks, computer geeks, various science geeks, movie and film geeks, comic book geeks, theatre geeks, history geeks, music geeks, art geeks, philosophy geeks, literature geeks, and roleplay geeks, and the list goes on. In the end, there is a little geek in all of us, even if we dont realize it.

WTF: Powerpuff Girls Z?

Ok, Lets get things straight first. Yes, its real, theres a Powerpuff Girls Jap Anime version. As you can see on the right, the animators have done a great job transcending these cartoonish cute little girls into the anime version to the right. But sadly thats all the good news i can say about the series. Yes You read that right, a series...all 52 episodes of it.

In truth, i have a liking to the cartoon network version of the Powerpuff Girls. Altho i am not a fan of it, i sometimes find myself watching the series on cartoon network along with other good cartoons like Dexters Laboratory and Samurai Jack. So when i first heard that some company in Japan had acquired the rights to make an anime version of it, i quickly turned to the net to find a downloadable version of it.

At long last, after 5 days of downloading, I've finally finished getting all 52 episodes of the powerpuff girls z, all 10Gb of it. Curious and excited, i watched the first episode, and... well.... all i can say is, I'm a kid at heart, i can appreciate and sometimes watch cartoons or anime made for children, I can even dumb myself down to enjoy a brainless idiotic movie as long as its entertaining, but i say, the Powerpuff Girls Z is something else. I have never seen such an episodes, nay a series for that matter, tailored made for small little children. I couldn't take it, it was excruciating, arrrgg... thats 20 min of my life I'm never gonna get back.

Well in anycase, if you have kids, and they love watching anime, this is for them. That's if your kids can read and watch at the same time, i really don't think that there'll be an English version anytime soon. You can watch it too if you can take it, but be warned, i think i lost a few IQ points while watching the first episode. I do hope i can get them back...
