HiHi Puffy Ami Yumi

[numbuh3]

Did anyone see this show? I didn't even see 5 minutes. What did you think?

[irong]

I love it! "Collect All 5" made me laugh till I cried!

Hmm.....Ami sounds like Jenny from My Life As A Teenage Robot. (I was switching between the two shows at the time and they sound really similar)

You are correct! Janice Kawaye, who plays as Jenny, does the voice for Ami.

And no, I haven't watched it yet, and I don't really plan too. It just doesn't catch my interest.

I was curious, because I really like that group as far as J-Pop goes, but I was a bit dissapointed by it. It just seemed to... childish, even for me. Then again, I never care much for stuff from Japan that is dubbed, cut, edited, and torn to pieces. America really butchers Anime, hence why I only get my stuff frlom Japan that had English subtitles. So yea, I didn't care much for it. For a show from Japan, the animation was bad, and just seemed to... childish for me.

What I did like was when the girls woudl sing in Japanese. That was the only good thing about it. =)

Ehhh...I think I'll stick to Puffy AmiYumi being a cool J-pop group, not a TV show.

Eh.... I didn't really like it...

Yup. That's exactly what I was thinking. Wonder what the show is really like in Japan before the American's got to it. Sure it was probably much better. Hmm..

i thought it was allright

It would be better with Ami and Yumi do the voice of themselves. In Japan. I like this show, it's funny with humor and running gags. The two episodes that I like are Collect All 5 and Ninjcompoop. Well the animation is like a paper but with animation like. No south-park like but made out of drawings. *Singing the theme song with punkish arrangement*

Actually, it was never IN Japan. It's a completely american show, made by americans for americans. The creator heard their songs and really liked them, so he approached the real Puffy for permission. And they said yes.

*cough* For more details, I suggest you read the same New York Times article I did. ^___~ Personally, I thought it was cute. Not great, but amusing. Certainly better then a lot of shows out there, anyway. And it was nice and shiny. @__@;;

I havent seen it yet either. I probably wont though. not sure. I mean, i just hope its not like FHFIF (not plot-wise. I mean quality-wise)

Oh really? I never knew that. Lol, even so I still didn't like it. Too.. I don't know, just weird. Hmm.. I guess I could read the New York Times article but I live in SC and the webiste says you have to subscribe if ya want to read any articles so... =D But yea, if you got a link to it that non subscribers can read, hook me up so I can take a look. ^^

Well, it's free to join up on the website, but I don't know if you'll find it there -- my dad buys the actual, um, newspaper religiously, I found it there. It was actually a pretty interesting article, actually, and yeah -- completely american in origion.
