BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment

Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

icygirlaj 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=

Daniel Dell I kinda loved this show when I was a kid. It was cute, funny, creative, and beautiful. This was one of my favorite Cartoon Network shows during my childhood, next to Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, and Dexter's Laboratory. I was so sad that Sam Register, the creator of this show, left Cartoon Network in 2006, but let's hope he's happier at Warner Bros. Animation. I'm really gonna miss watching this show on TV, though I am more than happy to see it online. Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi was a great cartoon, and is why I am now a fan of Puffy AmiYumi. One of my favorite shows from 2004, and mostly the 2000s. Yes, I am more of a 2000s kid, but there are some shows from that era that I hated. Sorry for not telling you, but... Eh. I love Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi.

michael_manley_426 When I started watching this, I was tricked into thinking it was decent by its adorableness, but when it got to the episodes about making your own decisions and not being selfish, I snapped out of it and found out that the show was just another ploy by Cartoon Network to turn its viewers into mindless drones and to make money. Anyways, on to the review. Like I said, the show lures you in with its adorable characters (which, by the way, sound like cats with asthma), but later, it bombards you with lessons and overpreachiness, like telling the truth, or sharing. The animation is mediocre, which tries to copy anime, but fails miserably. This show was created by the guy who made the vastly superior Teen Titans, and I must say, due to this fact, I would've expected more of him. Ah well. At least this is better than that crap-fest Krypto the Superdog.Overall, 2/10

rdatsun 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!
