If the Gorillaz canon is indeed part of the Powerpuff Girls universe, as well as set in real-time as our world, there may be some things we should consider.

In The Powerpuff Girls movie (which is essentially the origin story of its titular heroines), the very same newspaperr that shows an advert for a Gorillaz live concert in Townsville, also has an actual date (3rd July 2002, roughly the day said movie hit cinemas). Meanwhile, Gorillaz released their debut self-eponymous album in 26th March 2001, so there can't be any way that any PPG episode took place within the years 1998-2001.

The aforementioned film also introduces, at least in a chronological sense, the Gangreen Gang (including its leader and Gorillaz replacement bassist Ace Copular), who are presumably or at least roughly the same ages as in the series. If Ace was indeed born in 1981, he'd have to be 20-21 in 2002 and 36-37 in 2018 (the release year of Gorillaz' The Now Now). However, if he was indeed 17 as implied in both the film and TV series, he'd have to be born in 1984-85 and, therefore, 33-34 during The Now Now.

But those are just my thoughts, what about yours? Please feel free to give your ideas and explanations in the comments below. Thank you.
