From what I remember of the orignal serie, Blossom was the smart one who came up with all the ideas, and the de-facto leader, Buttercup had a 'tough girl' attitude and bubbles had poor self-esteem, was frequently daydreaming and often had trouble in school. But Bubbles wasn't a negative characterization, at least not with fans, when my daughter and her friends went as PPGs for halloween, it was the character of Buttercup that no girl would be so they ended up 'prettying up' and dragging along some hapless boy for the character of Buttercup. Bubbles as a character gave the show appeal to fans did not consider themselves 'smart' (Blossom) or 'tough' (Buttercup).
And for a japanese lookalike, I think a while back ADV released something called 'grrl power' which reminded me more like the serie than the superficially related PPGZ (esp. when the english dubbing was added)
