"Perfect"

By Rowieboy, Apr 09, 2012

A very excellent episode.

Ami Goes Bad: This episode focuses on Ami. And how cute her personality is. But when she possesses some drumsticks which belonged to a late drummer, she turns bad and starts to sound like that deceased drummer and he actually was an Australian guy(I like that because I myself, am Australian).

Robo-Pop: Kaz spends some cash on a fleet of robots that look, sound and act exactly like Ami and Yumi.
Ami-bot: I am Ami! I am very excited to meet you.
Yumi-bot: I am Yumi! I am too cool to be excited.

Metal Mental: Ami and Yumi go on tour with Metal Breath, a heavy metal band. When Ami and Yumi go on stage, the audience already boo at them because they want Metal Breath. One night, Ami and Yumi give the Metal Breath members makeovers. Such as cutting their hair, dressing them in silly clothes and cleaning their ears(Urgh!) That was the funniest part! When Metal Breath go on stage the next day, everyone laughs and the most hilarious part was when the Metal Breath members look at themselves on camera, then on themselves and scream! Cracks me up everytime!!

Too excellent!moreless

I love this episode.

Ami Goes Bad: This is the episode that made me love Ami. I used to not like Ami that much but now I love just as much as Yumi. Because Ami is better a good girl then a bad one.
Ami: Smoken!!

Robo-Pop: First time we see the girls in bikinis, but I like Yumi's purple bikini better then her camoflase one. How dare Kaz replase the girls with robots, thats in human.
Ami Bot: I am Ami, I am very excited to meet you
Yumi Bot: I am Yumi, I am to cool to be excited.

Metal Mental: Puffy must go on tour with heavey meatel jerks named Meltal Breath. At least my favorite band Puffy beats them at their own game.

Not the best but better than the pilot...

"Great"

By dewsid, May 17, 2006

This episode's live-action part seemed to be more interesting than the first 3 as this time Ami and Yumi were complaining about which was better, Osaka or Tokyo. And in the end, Yumi says Osaka is better! LOL! This episode was good.

In Ami goes Bad, which was the most reasonable segment, this is yet another Ami plot that I don't like but it was reasonable.

Then, in Robo-Pop, Kaz goes too far and I wish he got beaten up.

Metal Mental was a really greta segment. Evn though I wanted to hear the chase song by Puffy but I heard another song which was great. It was also quite good to see them in Heavy Metal outfits because believe me, I like Heavy Metal too.

SO overall, this was an alright episode.moreless

"Fair"

By jboice0, Nov 27, 2005

After a couple of episodes that rehashed old plots, the writers finally start delivering episodes that deal with the characters personalities. "Ami goes Bad" is self-explanatory: what makes her go to the dark side is a pair of haunted drumsticks. "Robo-Pop" has Kaz trying to make more money by creating robotic doubles of the singing duo, much to the "real" Ami and Yumi's chagrin. But the best of the three is "Metal Mental" where Kaz books Puffy to tour with a heavy metal band. The band, Metal Breath, drive Ami and Yumi nuts with their posturing and their attitudes so the ladies take matters into their own hands and give Metal Breath a complete makeover.moreless
