The Original TV series

I got a chance to see an ep of the original '73 series and it was very educational. Power Puff Girls has nothing to do with the colors, if anything it could be the other way around, as you do see references to anime & Japanese culture in some of the eps of PPG. The color pallette looks straight out of the '73 original, as does much of the BG art style. Some of the sound effect/bytes are also taken/inspired from the original. & Go Nagai was ahead of his time. He caused something of an uproar with the nudity & transformation scenes in this which many consider the first proto maho-shoujo story. I've heard that this TV series was canceled early because of the controversy of the ecchiness of it for the time.
