''Powerpuff Girls Z' (Japanese: 出ましたっ！パワパフガールズZ, Hepburn: Demashita! Pawapafu Gāruzu Zetto, lit. They're Here! Powerpuff Girls Z) is a 2006 Japanese magical girl anime series directed by Megumu Ishiguro, based on the American animated television series The Powerpuff Girls. The anime was co-produced by Cartoon Network Japan and Aniplex and was animated by Toei Animation.[1]

The series featured character designs by Miho Shimogasa, who was the character designer of Cutie Honey Flash and Ultra Maniac and one of the animation directors of Sailor Moon. As production occurred in Japan, the creator of The Powerpuff Girls, Craig McCracken was not involved with the project. Powerpuff Girls Z was aired in Japan on TV Tokyo between July 1, 2006, and June 30, 2007. In addition to Cartoon Network Japan, the anime was also broadcast on AT-X.[2][3] A manga adaptation by Shiho Komiyuno ran in Shueisha's Ribon magazine between July 2006 and June 2007.

The anime's English-language adaptation was produced in association with Ocean Productions in Canada. It was aired on Cartoon Network in the Philippines and Boomerang in Australia and New Zealand in 2008.
