The Powerpuff Girls was one of those shows you really couldn't tell who it it was supposed to appeal to, boys or girls. But I'd go with both.
The action-packed and funny superhero side of the show was well balanced with a more heartfelt and sad side in episodes like "Twisted Sister" which touches upon tough topics of being disabled. It's admirable when kids shows do that.
The Powerpuff Girls show is also loaded with both funny, scary and likable characters with their own memorability. The girls themselves have their own personalities like the leader, the tough one and the innocent one, but without being one-note characters. The character called "Him" is perhaps the scariest villain in the show with a airy and echoing voice and the ability to posses people and control their minds. He is the center of the scariest missions the girls go on in the show in my opinion. But every villain like Mojo Jojo, Princess, The Ganggreen Gang and the list goes on is just so memorable!
My favourite among the many inhabitans of the fictional city of Townsville has to be The Mayor. He's so charmingly dumb, but has so many funny moments, but there are many other funny characters who'll also crack many smiles for different reasons.
The animation is pleasently colourful and special with character design focusing on both round and pointy features. Its simplicity often made me think about the beauty of it being that way. Sure, it's not detailed like for example The Last Airbender, but that's what makes it great, it's doing its own thing.
I love this show and I'll reccomend it to everyone as good entertainment without being all dumb fun but quite clever. Mostly for kids, but worth a watch for adults just for the fun and if you love animation like I do.
