How's it going lurkers? Once again, it's Cartoon Sunday. Remember last week, when I mentioned the promo Adult Swim aired, during their so-called Toonami block?
The network premiered a promo called "The Ladies of Toonami." I wanted to share the promo on here last week, but someone did not upload it to YouTube, until more recently. I re-watched the promo on YouTube.

Then, I read both the comments both on YouTube and on Adult Swim's forum.
What is the
verdict for "The Ladies Of Toonami" promo?
Most saw "The Ladies of Toonami" promo as a joke because most of the female characters are from Shounen Anime with damsels in distress and emotionally weak female characters. If you don't know what I mean by "Shounen," in Japanese the word means "boy." Whenever Cartoon Network and Adult Swim both premiere Anime, it's typically for boys and occasionally a series meant for men.
The Shounen Anime may have physically strong female characters, but they are always emotionally weak and/or they are damsels.
Before
last week ended, Adult Swim announced that the Seinen Action Anime, Black
Lagoon would premiere in late March on its Swimnami Toonami block. I currently have
nothing bad to say about Black Lagoon because I have yet to watch it and would like to keep an open mind.
Every time I was about to watch the series, I always ended up doing or watching something else. On the positive side, Black Lagoon is a Seinen Action Anime series, which is meant for men.
Seinen Anime has more mature content than Shounen Anime. It is only fitting for Adult Swim to premiere actual animation for its ADULT viewers. If only Adult Swim would premiere some Josei Anime (which is meant for women), that would be fantastic.

If
necessary, Adult Swim could premiere The Powerpuff Girls on its Swimnami Toonami block. After all, Cartoon Network used to air The Powerpuff Girls on
their Toonami block.
Original Opening For The Powerpuff Girls: (1998)
Years ago, The Powerpuff Girls appealed to both genders of different age demographics.
The cartoon is so popular that Christian Bale, who played in American Psycho and the Batman Begins franchise, sang The Powerpuff Girls' ending theme song in an ABC News interview.
Originally, when the cartoon was made, it was a short meant for the adult demographic and was called "Whoopass." Because Cartoon Network liked the show so much, it was aired for the younger female audience.
The content was toned down and the cartoon was re-named "The Powerpuff Girls " by the late '90s. The cartoon was on Cartoon Network for several years and won Emmys.
Last week, Cartoon Network premiered The Powerpuff Girls' reboot.

Honestly, I was highly unimpressed. The Powerpuff Girls' illustrations recently changed.
When the original series was created during the '90s, their signature illustrations were meant to resemble 1950's futuristic art quality, as opposed to the more recent CGI appearance. The reboot's animation quality is so bright, that it has a glare; The art quality is so bright and blinding, I could barely focus on The Powerpuff Girls' reboot premiere.
I reiterate, The Powerpuff Girls'
reboot is VERY hard on the eyes.
Luckily, the original cartoon still airs on The Boomerang Channel, which is affiliated with Cartoon Network.
Recently, my grandmother has been bored with what's airing on TV and wants to watch cartoons. This is besides watching her usual national news and televangelist channels.
Since my grandmother wants to watch more cartoons, I got her into watching The Powerpuff Girls on a nightly basis.
Considering how much I have mentioned them in today's blog, I decided to share a classic episode of The Powerpuff Girls. This episode is "Bubblevicious."
Bubbles is the cute and innocent blonde, who everyone loves to underestimate as a Powerpuff Girl. Blossom is the leader and level-headed redhead out of the 3 sisters.
Out of the 3 sisters, Buttercup is the mean and feisty brunette, as well as the tomboyish lemming, who loves taunting and bullying Bubbles.
Anyway, "Bubblevicious" is mostly
about Bubbles proving that she is "hardcore," when it comes to fighting
villains. Click on the following video link:
