Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi

I was rather surprised when I found out the two women who sung for Teen Titains were getting their own cartoon show as well. Granted like most folks in the U.S, I've never heard of this band since its from out of country (the closest I've ever heard of J-Pop would be the Dance Dance Revolution machines). So I found it interesting as the show premiere came close (Checking it out at my Lowes movie theater helped as well).

Premise: Basiclly just a bunch of misadventures of the band's three member trio: the title characters Ami and Yumi (which from what I read in interviews, are based off the real life duo's more shining characteristics) and their tightwad money hungry manger, Caz, as they travel the road on their concert tour.

Its a cute show really with simple premises, situations and solutions all with a dose of the girl's music thrown in. However since the format for this show is short, most of the episodes end pretty corny and doesn't really give the stories a chance to flesh out more. Not to mention that you can see most of the resolutions coming a mile away. Still the character's personalities shine through and make the show worth watching as they stumble in and out of problems.

Art wise, very nice style. The creators or Puffy must of been fans of the game Parapper or Um Jammer Lammy cause the show reminds me of those video games and the art is very reminiscent. For those that haven't played those game, the style is simple line art, very abstract and colorful. Especially for a flash cartoon (2-D animation done mostly on computer). So good job here from the folks of Renegade.

As well as the sound section. As mentioned, the tunes are of course Puffy Ami Yumi songs with some usual cartoon play back. And the voice actors (which you may recognize as the main voices from Grim Adventures and Teenage Robot) do a nice job voicing the girls while mixing in some Japanese language (mainly when the two characters express surprise, get shocked or angry) and I love the dude who does Caz voice, the only one who seems to have an accent here.

And lets not forget the opening and closing segments with the real life Ami and Yumi. Though I think this is mostly from their show in Tokyo then down here. Still its cute and they don't take to long to lead in the cartoons.

Overall, a simple cartoon kids and teens might love, the older crowd might give a glance at. Would've been better if they can flesh out the problems more and use it as an opportunity for more humor. But they do well with the time they have. I don't know if the band will hit it off down, but anything possible and I wish all the luck for Puffy AmiYumi. Keep rocking girls!

this is what i believe to be the last great cartoon network show, it is called Hi Hi Puffy Ami Yumi it is the last modern cartoon that feels really classic to me, each episode is 7 minutes long and they all feature great songs and that is why i became a fan of Puffy Ami Yumi

The animation of this show is very unique, however some people complain that the background characters are really ugly, what would you expect? many good shows have ugly background characters, like the Powerpuff Girls or Samaraui Jack

Even though Ami and Yumi are different as day and night, they are best friends, Katz on the other hand, is very greedy and will do anything for money, but he is still like able

At first i wasn't interested in this show but one day i watched an episode and loved it

Sadly CN cancelled this show after only 3 seasons and the last episodes never aired, low ratings weren't the reason though, because all seasons got high ratings, also the thing is they ordered the 4th season was ordered but the creator left CN in 2006

Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi is a funny cartoon about two rock stars and their manager traveling the world, playing a concerts and going on wacky adventures. The characters Ami and Yumi are funny and quite mature. Ami is a is a sweet girly girl who's really into guys, and her friend Yumi is a tomboy punk girl. This cartoon is not for everyone. I'm not for sure what ages this show is for , but here's my most accurate guess. Ages 9 to 13. The show is not as well known as SpongeBob, but it should be heard of. One character I for got to talk about is their cheap, and extremely kooky manger Kaz. Kaz does very cheap tricks in the show, such as him making robot clones of Ami and Yumi, to do interviews and things for himself. Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi is a wacky, hilarious, and sort of mature cartoon that deserves a chance. I give it a 7.1/10

Hi Hi Puffy Ami Yumi provides laughs far greater than those of any other cartoon on Cartoon Network. Its over-the-top animation and wacky plots make it what a cartoon should be.

Hi Hi Puffy Ami Yumi is the only cartoon that I watch on Cartoon Network anymore. Why? First off, the show introduced me to the band that would become my favorite: Puffy Ami Yumi. Their music is used cleverly throughout the show. Secondly, the show has a lot of humor that is simply not found in other Cartoon Network shows. Most shows have devolved into lame humor that relies on "fart jokes" that only dirty-minded children could enjoy. However, Puffy Ami Yumi seems to achieve its humor in a variety of ways, which range from its wacky and fun animation style to twisting clichés. Thirdly, the animation of Hi Hi Puffy Ami Yumi is far better than most cartoons today. People whine that it doesn't look realistic, but here's the thing- it's a cartoon. Cartoons are meant to be unrealistic and wacky. Many other cartoons bore me now simply due to their dull animation styles. Finally, the show has clever dialogue and the characters are designed very well in both looks and personality. Ami and Yumi's contrasting views often allow for a lot of humor. It's a shame this show is not more popular, but I suppose everyone just likes shows that make a stupid amount of references to sex nowadays. Some episodes are better than others, but most all of them are quite memorable. Give Puffy a chance, and it can brighten up any tough day.

As you see, almost half of the people around here doesn't like it, and the rest like it. But trust me, it's a extremely good show.

I hate the recent shows released by CN, like Ben 10 and Juniper Lee. It's just plain boring. If you're going to watch a quality show, with a lot of background music, singing and humor, try this. It's the best TV-show you can ever get on CN. Fosters Home For Imaginary Friends is the second best show there, just in case you ask :) It's about a rocking group called 'Puffy Ami Yumi', and their 'wacky' adventures. Kaz is the greedy manager, Ami is the happy little optimist rocker and Yumi is the serious person.

Don't care about what other says. I mean, it's your opinion that counts for you. So, at least try to watch 2-3 episodes of this show before you judge it.

I didn't like it in the first time, because i thought it was a girl show. But after i gave the show a try, i loved it. And so should you.

So turn on you TV, look for the show and start watching it now. If you can't find it (Because it was canceled by CN), buy the DVD's or whatever you have to do to watch it.
