Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.

That was an excellent one.

Excellent but underrated film

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Overall, I give HI HI Puffy AmiYumi a thumbs up! Sure, it is not the most memorable show to come out of Cartoon Network, but it certainly has its great moments. The characters are generally great, even Kaz. And he is the greedy one. However as the later seasons progressed, you realize that he sees Ami & Yumi as family. The other great thing about this show is that, well, it's funny! It's a gag based cartoon, and most of the gags in the show give me the giggles. Sure there are a few duds like the episode "Treasure Map" (my least favorite episode of the series.... >:/) but it does have some genuinely funny moments. Sure they slip some pop culture references here and there, but it doesn't RELY on references. Overall, good show, I recommend. Nice Job, Puffy AmiYumi! C=

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.

This show is, how should I putt it? Well, let's see... just what the title says. It's cute, in a sense childish, and probably the only sensible adjective to give it, PUFFY. The songs are cool, to the point where I got one stuck in my head because it's quite catchy. They're CUTE...(that's the point, isn't it?) The plots are the most clichéd things you've ever seen, and I've watched 3/4 of what's been shown, and I haven't seen anything original quite yet.SPOILERS!!! The matador idea has been around since Looney Tunes - so have the robot doubles and problems with babies and demonic possession by means of cursed tools of some kind.Vampires, getting a new job because you got fired, erm... yeah, that's a lot. I guess it can be summarized as pure mindless clichéd fun. Clichéd, but fun nonetheless.I'm being lenient right now and suppressing my TRUE disappointment for this show, as I can't seem to find that many Pros to counteract the flood of Cons I see. Other than the music and the greedy little manager (he's the clichéd type too, but I like a greedy little man. They're the funniest characters around), I can't see anything here. It's so-so, in my eyes, and even THAT is a euphemism. I don't think it even deserves that. Go ahead and tell me I'm biased! I don't deny it. I'm biased. It's just how I am, okay? Every time I tune in to the show, I start feeling dull and feel like changing the channel. Every time my hopes go up for an interesting and original plot, it lets me down. I've come to the point of feeling void whenever I see their faces on TV. I don't even know what I still watch the thing!!! My rating says it all... 1/5.

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!
