Sounds neat. Since CN owns the rights to the powerpuff girls(I think), I
actually would have expected it sooner, perhaps even with the English and
Japanese versions being recorded and released at the same time.
I also think I saw someone state the opinion somewhere (maybe even in this
newsgroup) that PPG-Z was just a "rip-off" of Sailor Moon. Well, any show
with a team of magical girls (Winx club, wedding peach, Tokyo mew-mew,
even
the original PPG) is going to have a lot in common with Sailor Moon,
perhaps
even quite a few direct influences. Whether this makes it a rip-off is in
the eye of the beholder, I suppose.
