Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi

One of the best shows ever in Cartoon Network (3rd in mah list) till Cartoon Network said they hated girly shows, japanese music, and japanese. And they replaced it with "Out of Jimmys Head". Hi Hi Puffy Ami Yumi is a show bout 2 rockstars based on real life j-pop singers who go all around the world in their world tour stuff. And their manager Kaz who's also real. I loved the show when it first aired. Season 1 was perfect. Season 2 kinda made me bored. And season 3 had some awesome episodes. The thing that was bad about this show was the characters. Ami and Yumi had good desgins, except for people. They looked ugly. And the background designing was horrible, and the sun looked nothing like an actual sun. But now it's cancelled. Just because of a very stpud reason (Japanese music hate). And replaced it with "Out of Jimmy's Wiener". And it's cancelled too. And i heard rumors that the company "Renegade" that made HHPAYS and OOJH are going to shut down. Overall this shows great, watching a show about 2 sexy girls, and a hilarious manager, and 2 cats that acts like TOM and JERRY seems like a funny show to view sometime. Cough *Crack*

Why I didn't pick it up before: My family made me insecure and tease me when I watch shows with female protagonists when I was younger. Perfect role models if you ask me. Now that I'm older I can just shrug those off.

I just picked up on Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi recently. I mean I haven't watched all episodes yet but so far so good. I find the animation interesting and amazing just because for me, it fits the style of the show so no problems there. The characters may not be the most original character ever made in animation history but they are very lovable and memorable...sorta. And I like the jokes a lot. They even made me laugh and get scolded for it once or twice, something modern cartoons have not been able to make me do. I wish this show stayed longer than it should and I find it a bad, scratch that, stupid move by CN to cancel such a good show.

This show is so awsome. Here are the reasons its my favorite show.

1. The animation is very good and colorful.

2. It has some funny humor in it.

3. It got me into the band that became my favorite, Puffy

4. Ami and Yumi are very cute looking. You don't see that on other shows.

But I hate the fact that CN is treating this show like trash.

Why must CN do the biggest mistakes in TV history. And I also hate it when people make me mad by making a big deal out of me loving this show. At least this show is better then any other CN show. And Puffy's music is better then most of the singers my friends like. This show is so great that its made my way to my heart and I wish I could go back to win this show was a smash hit on CN and it will always be a smash hit to me.



5 out of 5

When I first saw an ad for this show, I thought "Why would any guy want to watch a show that is focused on girls?" But when I decided to give this show a chance, I thought "Can't judge a book by its cover!" It featured rock stars. A kind, cute and exquisite one named Ami and a cool, hot and tough as nails one named Yumi. The girls would go on misadventures and adventures. Just remember, Ami and Yumi have hair that is pink and lavender! Not black or brown! One of the biggest complaints is the ugly background characters. This makes them even more exquisite than they are already! I wish Cartoon Network didn't get rid of it. How dare they?!?!? I hate CN for getting rid of this! This was the best show Cartoon Network ever made up. Same with Foster's Home, Camp Lazlo, KND, Billy and Mandy, PPG and My Gym Partner's a Monkey. Now, Cartoon Network is being run by alcoholics. I would like this show to return. The music from the band Puffy is very unique.The show is more than 1,000,000,000 times better than he Life and Times of Juniper Lee, Class of 3000, Out of Jimmy's Head and Ben 10! PUFFY FOREVER!!!!

This is a really good show. I really do like the main characters Ami and Yumi. But mostly Ami. Well, when this show first aired on Cartoon Network, I did see some episodes of it, but It really didn't grab my attention. Yeah, I was more into Thomas and Friends and an anime called Mermaid Melody. And after 2005, I've never hear about it again. But recently, I've rediscovered this show and I like it now, as I am currently watching the episodes on Youtube. It is really good, for flash animation. I like the character designs for Ami and Yumi. Oh, and I found Kaz to be just like Mr. Krabs. A money loving character. It's a decent show, though it can get a little crazy and gross sometimes, but it's not that bad, like Fanboy and Chum Chum. (YUCK!) So, now, Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi is one of my new favorite shows. And also, I was looking foward to watch this show on Cartoon Network on 1/3/11, thanks to the scam on facebook saying it'll return. Now I know that Cartoon Network is being run by people who are drinking alcohol. This is getting out of hand. Anyway, Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi, good show, glad I'm watching it now, it's way better than Out Of Jimmy's Head, worth watching. Oh, one more thing, in my opinion, 2005 is the last decent year for Cartoon Network. Also, I would like to thank a youtube user for brining up this show, which is how I rediscovered it.

A weird show but i like it. The whole show is weird because of all the strange things and the backround. But yet i still insist on watching it for some weird reason. Maybe its because of the music even though im not a music fan. Oh well it will forever be a mystery for me why i like this show.

I used to like this show it was darn intresting but then now i look back on this show i can say this show sucks and it is very childish especially the way Ami acts very very childish and yet one of the writers of this show write the season 4 episodes of SpongeBob.They made SpongeBob similar to Ami and Squidward similar to Yumi whatever this show just makes me sick(not really i just hate it and it gets on my nerves) and this show what is really immature and childish it has been right from the start i hope the creator gets in trouble for making fun of the Teen Titan's theme song singers by making this childish junk and i'm glad this does'nt air on CN anymore though sadly at nights it does play on Cartoon Cartoons(i live in the UK this is the UK CN i am talking about)

Even when I heard the name of the show it made me scratch my head. Japanese Rock stars? Never heard of that before. What's next? Teletubbies gone disco? Each episode is more random than Bobobo bo bobobo and it isn't as cutting edge as I thought it would be.



I hate the human Ami Yumi more. They act cute and immature and they look 18. Bye bye boo? That's what they say at the end of each show. You know, Asians aren't wierd or random and I don't see why they make such fools of themselves. Cancel the show before they embarrass themselves.

First of all, what kind of a name is HiHi PuffAmiYumi?! and why would anyone want to make a girly show about two real life rockstars who go on pointless adventures? Also, this show has poor animation. Cartoon Network seriously needs to snap out of it, putting this crap on their channel...I'd rather whatch PPG than this! Plus Ami and Yumi's voice are done by americans. Aren't they supposed to be Japanese rock stars? To me the only likable character in this show is Kaz (Ami and Yumi's manager). Ami and Yumi are always pushing around Kaz which I find very disturbing along with their cats always playing evil tricks on him. So, as you can see I just plain don't like this show...

THIS SHOW ROCKS!!! When I first heard the theme song for Teen Titans, I thought the voices sounded Japanese. When I saw the band singing in a music video, I had my doubts, but when HHPAY rock toured into my life, I think about them EVERY DAY. I especially like the episodes where the girls wear revealing outfits! (purrs) The live-action segments rock as well, and the music videos always make me feel happy inside. Ever since HHPAY took over my happy place, I transformed into a fan of Puffy's music. May Puffy never vanish from stage or TV!

I hate to give shows bad scores and bad reviews but this one needs it. This show is about 2 girls who travel around the world while they are one a tour. They meet people and help them out. Anyways, this show is not so interesting. So I dont recommend you watching it.

1. The girls aren't voiced by the actual singers. Why would people watch a show about famous people if they aren't even on the show?



2. They look nothing like the actual singers. Blue and pink hair? WHAT?



3. The episode plots are basically the same as the ones from all the other cartoons, the creators just think it's cooler if these things happen to pop stars.



4. Not a real reason, but-I hate Kaz. He is a jerk.



I know these may seem like stupid reasons to dislike a show, but there aren't many shows these days that I don't like, and I really didn't find much interest in this one. I'd never be one of those "This show sucks and if you like it you're stupid" people, I'm just saying I don't like it.

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 cliches. 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 diologue and the characters are designed very well in both looks and personallity. 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.

when i heard of ths show i thought"I'm not watching that"



then i saw it and thought "Not Bad"



I saw it again and thought,"I just wasted 18 mintues"



This show is boring,confusing,doesn't make any sense and had horrible animation!It's about 2 Japanese Rockstars!Who are complete oppsites but best friends.



to me,that sounds awsome...then i watch it...



what is wrong with these people,it's a good idea but a horrible show!



and it has Grey DeLisle and Janice Kawaye,they have beautiful voices but are playing such stupid roles.they could be good roles but no,no,no.

Instead,these 2 very talented/beautiful woman are wasting their energy.



i say,if they cancel this show,it won't hurt anyone.

I have seen a show made by someone who makes or actually fakes his music. That show was called 'Romeo'. Now there is another show in cartoon version and made by someone else. To put it simple... 'Hi Hi Puffy Ami Yumi' SUCKS!!! First of all this show makes just as sense as a goldfish that can breath out of water, it doesn't! Second most of the time I can't understand a single word whether it's in the episode or in their music. And third this whole show should've never ever seen the light of day. Ami and Yumi should've just stuck with music and broke in two months instead of this crap. Sorry but no offense.

Some people say it's not good, but I'll have to disagree with them. Puffy Ami Yumi are my favorite rock stars and I like their music. The best part of the show is when they sometimes do mini music videos. Even if people dis it, I won't. So, I give this show a fabulous 10 out of 10.

Hi Hi Puffy Ami Yumi really is a great show to watch.It keeps you amused and makes you have no feeling of boredness all day.Whether it's just a wet day or nothing to do,you can always count on Hi Hi Puffy Ami Yumi to keep you jumping back for more at the end of every episode.Ami Onaka and Yumi Yosimura make great characters for a TV show thats one of my personal favourites and most others favourites too.Ami is a bubbling ,charming girl and Yumi is a hard girl.Yumi never cares about anything else other than hard punk rock excapt for when Ami and Yumi are in extreme danger.

What could be more shocking than another unoriginal show! Nothing. Hey, Cartoon Network is a great program and I love most of the shows. But, this, this is ridiculous. This animated show is about 2 famous pop stars living in their tour bus with their guardian Kaz. This show is sooo boring that it put my hamster asleep! The plots are poor and you know the ending of each episode. They try so hard to make a decent good episode it turns out so boring. And, when did Ami and Yumi have have purple and pink hair. The characters on the lame Tv show act nothing like the real popular pop stars. Ami and Yumi have black hair and not pink and purple hair. Yumi is not soo optimisitic and bright and Ami is definatily not the gothic mad at everything girl. Becides, the real popstars are not good looking and can't sing right. The singing is just horrible. Just, do not watch this horrible show. Will you?

HiHi Puffy AmiYumi is a cartoon about the two famous rockstars who travel all around the world to sing to audiences everywhere-boring. Ami is the happy go lucky one, while Yumi is the deadpan one (these are the fake ones compared to the real rockstars). Here's one thing that doesn't make any sense, Ami and Yumi have black/dark brown hair, they don't have purple and pink hair. Here's another thing, in real life, Ami is not a Ms. Goody 2Shoes and Yumi is not a rude, bossy dictator. Now here's something I don't even like about this show, Bad things always happen to their manager, Kaz. Kaz needs to have more authority over his band, he shouldn't let two annoying girls run over him and treat him badly like they do. Kaz is just another one of those underappreciated cartoon characters who is actually the best character on the whole show. If I was Kaz, I would be a true manager and if Ami and Yumi (esp. Yumi) wanted to give me any sass, I would teach them that I don't take no nonsense! Anyways, I don't understand why I used to watch this, because this show is a major tragedy! Don't watch it whatever you do!!!!

The first time i watched it i thought it was ok. But then when i started watching all the new episodes i saw how much the show sucked. Kaz is their manager, and is just plain weird and short. Ami acts way too childish, i mean she goes crazy trying to get some special prize from a cereal box, i stopped looking for that stuff when i was 8 or 9, and she's how old? Yumi is way to goth, not to mention she acts weird too. I mean watching some cartoon about people going around the world and living their lives is kind of boring. I still cant believe that i watched that show. But atleast they stopped airing it.

Im sorry to all who enjoy this show but I just cant get into it. Its one of those shows that as soon as hear the annoying music start I immediately grab the tv control or go to the tv and change the channel or turn off the tv. Why would CartoonNetwork cancel good shows like MegasXLR, DextersLab, johnbravo and the like for shows like this?



The few times I did watch this show I found it copyed alot of jokes and ideas from varius other cartoons. Almost all there ideas are unorginal and over used. As for the animation/drawing for it. I did not find it well done at all it seems childish in away and the kind of animation you would see on a 6 year olds animated TV show.



Im sure there are worse shows out there then this but I was forced to write a review on this after I saw CN left something like this going on for another season but cancel a good show like MegasXLR.

With it's dazzling color,images, and animation, Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi is a show you won't forget (in a good way =P). It's a bit childish, since it's intended for anyone over 6 years old, but nonetheless, it's a good show. It's trendy, hip, and cool. Based on the Japanese rock band PUFFY, HHPAY is the story of two girls in rock n' roll. Ami, the nice and sweet cutie, and Yumi, the sarcastic, hip rockster, are the two girls who form Puffy AmiYumi, with their manager, Kaz, who's nuts for money. I think this is a cute show, and I reccomend watching it. If you're not that hyped up about cute and childish shows, maybe this shows just not for you.

Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi is about two Japanese rock stars that have cartoon liek adventures! You'd think that it's pretty cool right? Wrong! Watching the show, you could tell that the plot is bad! Also, that the adventures are crazier then what people would think. It's over exagerated, and the girls act like children. This show is okay, if you're young and don't know whats going on!

whats with everyone not liking this show i mean its better than other cartoon shows on CN.The animation of this show is great and the story its good but not great.Im really hoping this show is going to be off hiadus. The story could change a little bit to make more like anime. Anime is what this show needs more of an anime feel to it. Great animation a little bit better story. Dont get me wrong the story is great and they dont need to change it at all. I seriously dont see y people thinks this show is stupid because it is alot better than other cartoons.I don;t know maybe its just cause of the japanese music

So, this show is finally dead, huh? Most of me says, about time. The show had it's rare moments where I enjoyed it, but they were EXTREMLREY scarce. The characters were pretty annoying and the episodes pointless, so I'm pretty happy about the fact that it is no longer an active show on Cartoonetwork. It's been replaced with much better shows, ala Class of 3000, but also some misreable misses, ala Squirrel Boy (I've written reviews on both of these shows). As I said before, it had it's moments, though they were very very rare. I won't miss this show at all, and I actually forget about it until I read the title on a post on another Cartoonetwork show. Bye bye Puffy Ami Yumi!

I love this show very very very very very much I love Puffy AmiYumi. It's gone for 7 months. next month is June so say your prayers it will be back in Puffy fans. Also All Puffy fans do you believe animated puffy amiyumi are real in heaven? anything is possible in heaven so i believe. heaven is a ulitmate paradise.

It's a show that I never forget! it looks like crap but its not, and the show is named hihi puffy amiyumi. the story to the show is the misadventers of ami and yumi. thay both ofcouse J-pop singers and sometimes ther sungs might pop up in the show. and I allmost forgat about kaz, ther manger. I love thes show!!!

I just watched an episode of this show on YouTube this morning, and it made me remember how much I liked it. "Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi" was a greatly underappreciated show on Cartoon Network based on the real life Japanese Pop/Rock band Puffy AmiYumi. (AKA: PUFFY) Mabye it wasn't a masterpiece, but it was a very cute and funny show to watch. Plus, it really got me into Puffy's music, and I liked that Janice Kawaye, the voice of Jenny from "My Life as a Teenage Robot" (another favorite of mine at the time), was in it.

But now, Cartoon Network has completely abandoned it in the US, where I live. They took the HHPAY minisite down, took their games off the site, they don't sell the merchandise on the CN shop anymore, and they no longer play episodes on the Cartoon Cartoon show. It's almost like CN is ashamed of this show. Now all I have to remember the show by are the 2 DVDs, the Soundtrack CD, the video games, and a couple of "Hi Hi" comic books. I really wish this show would return to the states, but I know it'll most likely never happen. :( *sigh...*

The only thing that I like on this show is when I hear Ami-Yumi's own Japanese songs. Wow, they were just great. But the rest of the episodes? I still think they did a good job on making a cartoon drawing of Ami, which fits perfectly. But with Yumi, what was that? That's nothing compared to the cute Yumi that I saw in the concert, or in HEY! HEY! HEY! Music Champ in Fuji TV (the Japanese program).

Following on from my House Of Mouse review, I decided to take a look at another final gem; Cartoon Network's Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi, madebefore all the horrors of CN Real.

Puffy AmiYumi focuses on two Japanese rockstars, Ami and Yumi, who travel the world in their tourbus (which I'm assuming is the TARDIS of their universe, since it has unlimited space, perfect for separate rooms for the girls), along with their greedy manager, Kaz. While the premise sounded simple enough, the show is actually secretly... crazy. Really, it's your average zany cartoon.

The characters are fun and likable. Ami's the cute-obsessed girly girl while Yumi's the punk-tomboy (thereby, establishing a polar-opposite friendship). Kaz actually reminds me of a less-worse version of Mr. Krabs from SpongeBob, but not in a bad way. However, I feel the minor characters aren't really that memorable to me (aside from the fact that two of them, Harmony and Julie, poke fun at fanatics). Also, there seems to be a large population of fat and ugly people in the background.

The animation is alright. While I'm not fond of Flash animation these days since they seem to be the fodder for many bad cartoons, here, the animation is generally smooth. The art style, however, is very abstract, and things don't usually look like what they're supposed to be. However, the style does take some visual cues from anime.

The humour fortunately isn't awful toilet humour that's currently plagueing cartoons today. It actually combines surreal humour and irony, all the while still being family-friendly. It's something that I feel today's cartoons lack.

The music is where the show hits the high marks. The songs are incredibly catchy J-rock tunes that are also infectious earworms. I can still remember the theme song to this day...

Overall Puffy AmiYumi was a cartoon that was sadly too good to last. Keep in mind though that AmiYumi isn't for everyone, as evidenced from the negative reviews below me (look further if you want better examples). While weirdness isn't for everyone, Puffy AmiYumi is still worth checking out, and is still better than what CN airs today.
