    Thehibikiew Not even bad in a good way
    ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
    HottWwjdIam There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.
    Sameer Callahan It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.
    Bootterra Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi follows a fictional cartoon version of real life Japanese Pop stars Puffy (known as Puffy AmiYumi in America due to branding conflicts). The cartoon versions of the characters are not really based on the actual band, but Puffy does appear in the episodes in live action segments. While you could replace the characters with any generic Pop star cartoon characters, the cartoon holds up on its own. The humor was usually great, and things tended to get very crazy (but typically in a good funny way). I also liked the art style. The stories were usually passable, and the characters were generic tokens, but they were acceptable and slightly above average in terms of token characters. I liked the music in the show, and they referenced a lot of stuff. However, what makes me as a guy so into the show was probably 3 things (1) I like things most people consider bad or ugly (2) I don't mind guys enjoying girls cartoons (or cartoons with a female lead) as long as the cartoon is entertaining and/or they can connect with the characters and not something they're getting enjoyment out of for the wrong reason (especially when it comes to cartoons for little girls) and (3) I have a habit of liking shows that most people don't.
    hgwqhge03 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 YumiThe 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
    IzzieLazales 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.
    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!
