Was the "Powerpuff Girls Z" better then, "The PowerPuff Girls" to you or worser.

The original show is actually very well-drawn. It's simple and in a weird style, intentionally so, but the actual construction, line work, color design, etc. are great. Not high art, but I don't think Picasso was really aiming to make high art either.

I find it totally strange to be talking to someone who considers comedy an "evil." Do you like to laugh or no?
 
I just don't care for that crude, flat, simplistic style used in most modern cartoons is all. And I don't think the show aged all that well; looking back at it now (the pre-movie episodes look really grainy/washed out)

Well, that was just a figure of speech . While I prefer action shows overall, I don't mind comedy. It's just that the comedy shows I tend to like are the ones with some meat on their bones; shows with some actual substance to go along with the laughs. Shows in the vein of Powerpuff Girls, which tend to hit the reset button between episodes, don't really appeal to me. While I'm not going to defend Powerpuff Girls Z or anything, I will say at least the characters showed some bit of depth in the long run, and there was some substance there over the original show. I'd still rather watch Baraboo Blade or something over it, though if I want a comedy fix.
 
The original (at least pre-movie).

PPGZ wasn't bad, though. As veemonjosh pointed out, it got better when Him (who sounRAB like Freeza!) was introduced and a more continous story was formed. Other good points: the girls' designs were cool, as was Mojo's; several fights were cool, and Princess was an actually interesting character instead of a one-dimensional "rich spoiled brat" caricature. However, Blossom, Mojo, and the Mayor were screwed up often in personality, the Professor's brat son was pointless, and the over-the-top anime humor often fell flat.
