Thanks so much for watching! So... watching through this show again, made me want to watch Teen Titans again... should I make a video on Teen Titans at some point?

Speaking of Teen Titans, if anyone remembers, whenever we heard Puffy AmiYumi sing the theme in Japanese you knew it was going to be a good episode!

"Today the group has over 15 million album sales in Japan." For like half a second I thought you were going to say they had over 15 million albums.

I remember the episode where Yumi entered a hot dog eating contest but she could only eat hotdogs during baseball games so ami did a whole baseball game by herself so Yumi could win

Loved this show and band so much! ^^ I am still mad that my sisters got to see them live back in 04 T~T

I remember this one episode where Yumi dialed back Ami's clock so that she'd wake up five minutes later so that Yumi could get some extra sleep. But in doing so, Ami did everything throughout the day five minutes slower. So they're playing catch with a frisbee if I remember, and Yumi throws it at Ami, but it hits her in the face and knocks her over. But she doesn't feel anything for five minutes and lays there on the floor, before suddenly feeling pain. Of all the episodes I watched back in the day, that's the one that sticks out to me the most. The idea that waking up five minutes later makes you five minutes slower is so funny to me!

I've literally been thinking about this show for over 10 years and could not remember what it was called. Thank you so much for this. I love this freaking channel💖🥰

Every “wait remember” video he makes just digs into the core of my childhood, and rips a giant chunk out of the fiber of my being that I didn’t even know was there.

Before this showed aired back in 2004, I knew nothing about Japan or Japanese culture outside of a few anime shows mostly from Studio Ghibli. Little did I know the door it would open. Now I'm a Japanese major in college, about to leave for a year abroad in Japan, with career plans heavily involving Japanese. All because I tuned into some quirky show on Cartoon network when I was 10 years old.

I was obsessed with this show as a kid. Definitely one of Cartoon Network's most underrated shows!

Yumi's character design is most definitely my favorite out of all the cartoon/anime/whatever else character designs I have ever seen.

fun fact about this show coming from someone outside the us: for the second season puffy actually sang the theme song in my language & i vividly remember cartoon network putting up a poll kinda thing on their website so kids could pick the lyrics for the adaptation! it was pretty cool

My sister and I loved this show!! We joked that i was Ami and she was Yumi, but as we've gotten older we've definitely switched personalities. Loved the video!🖤🖤

THIS! THIS SHOW WAS MY JAM it was so fun and cute, i even had a few of the toys they sold! i always looked up to ami as a kid, or at least the cartoon version of her haha. though i'm sure the real person is even cooler! love that this show got more people into their music too, they're fantastic musicians! their stuff inadvertently got me into jellyfish too which is another band i love very much 💕

So crazy story. I went to an Anime Convention where Ami and Uni came as guests. I went to a panel they were hosting which was sort of how they became a band and answer fan questions. This one kid, who had to be around 17 to 20 went up to the mic and said a really long paragraph directed at Ami in Japanese. After he finished Ami looked shocked, then Umi translated what he said. This American guy tried asking Ami out. Then Ami replied with something along the lines “Do you Americans not know we are in our 40s, married, with kids?” He noticeably made them insanely uncomfortable and the whole crowd just stares daggers at him. This guy put his head down and speed walked to the exit with tears coming down his eyes. It was the absolute cringiest thing I ever saw. He literally wrote, learned, and spoke an entire love letter in Japanese and read it out loud in a crowd of several hundred other American people to a famous Japanese idol guest at an American convention panel and was actually shocked and devastated when he was shot down. This wouldn’t have even been okay to watch if they were the same age and she wasn’t married. If anyone else saw this at Anime Boston (2018 or 2019 I think) please tell me what you thought when you saw this.

What makes me sad is that I have never heard of this artist before and she has created the most iconic character designs ever.

I miss Puffy Ami Yummi! It was a fun and wacky comedy that had me in tears of laughter and joy thanks to their music! I doubt we'll ever get another show like this for a while, but when it aired, it was awesome! Also, I love their take on Night begins to Shine! Highly Recommend!!!!!

I'm so glad someone else remembers Bo-bo-bo. I've brought it up hundreds of times to friends and literally none of them ever remembered it.

I was 4 when this show came out, and let me tell you, this show literally changed the course of my life. I drew these characters everywhere, and to this day some of my art styles can be traced back to this show. I got into drumline because I wanted to be Ami. I got into Japanese culture and started watching Pokemon because of this show. This show (and spongebob..) was literally my childhood. :)

Time flies so fast, this was one of my favorite shows back when I was just 7, basically mostly cartoon network shows that were around mid 2000's were my go to cartoons (I'm from southeast asia and the shows were a bit later released I guess), I'm kind of a cartoon addict when I was a kid, and until now even as a young adult when I get a chance to watch I still love them, the sense of nostalgia just hits you so hard that it makes you remember the days when you don't have to care about anything.

Well, besides having the same performers, the theme songs for Teen Titans and HiHi Puffy AmiYumi were written by Andy Sturmer, who also wrote the theme songs for shows like Batman: The Brave And The Bold and Super Robot Monkey Team Hyper Force Go. He also worked on the music for shows like My Friends Tigger And Pooh, Kick Buttowski, and some of the Scooby Doo DVD movies (like Scooby Doo Frankencreepy and Scooby Doo And Kiss: Rock And Roll Mystery) . There's also a bit of an inaccuracy about Sam Register in how he was executive producer for various WB and Cartoon Network shows, but this is his only creator credit. Teen Titans, for example, had Glen Murakami and David Slack as the main creative force.

I loved this show! Some guys made fun of me for watching it (same with Totally Spies and the OG Powerpuff Girls), because it was considered to be too girly, but I still proudly watched every episode when they came out. I'm also a huge fan of Puffy irl myself, they're music is so addictive and both Yumi and Ami are real life waifus! Great work once again Jordan!

I've only seen one episode of Puffy AmiYumi when it was airing. It really stood out to me and somehow I still remember it to this day. A great show :)

This man included the cartoon city bumpers as bumpers of his own show. Massive respect.

I really like that they interjected some Japanese into the dialogue, it was fun. Also Janice Kawaye speaks Japanese so I think its really cool whenever she gets to use it, like that one episode of Teenage Robot where Jenny can only speak Japanese.

I highly remember Puffy AmiYumi: fun show, colors are vibrant, and love their music. J-pop was trending in mid-2000’s, I bought Puffy AmiYumi CD music based on CN. I also found two albums at a bookstore; the songs are in Japanese and I love each and every songs.

Fun fact: When first seeing episodes of the show, the actual Ami and Yumi asked if they were meant to be a couple in the show- not in an offended or weirded out way, from what was described, but in a laughable way. The team affirmed that they weren't, but because they had such a laugh about it, they made an unused storyboard of the two characters kissing. You can still find it online pretty easily.

Puffy Ami and Yumi was one of my cartoons and it's still my favorite to this day. I love everything about this show--the artstyle, the characters, the backgrounds, THE MUSIC!! I even bought a CD so I can listen to my car even when I go to work. Overall I just love this show ever since my childhood. It was even one of those shows before I discovered anime and then became an anime fan as I got older.

This & ed edd n eddy are cartoon network shows I'm obsessed with. They always had a certain charm to them for me. Man do I miss the 2000s era of cartoon network. I also love dexter's laboratory, class of 3000, courage, the powerpuff girls, codename kids next door, the grim adventures of billy & mandy, foster's home, and johnny bravo.

I used to LOVE this show. It seems most people forgot about it sadly

OMG I totally remember this! I was 11 and so excited to have characters that were Japanese and punk rock, just like me! This was amazing and I totally forgot until just now, thank you!

I can’t even imagine how a cartoon version of the band Cage the Elephant would be - their name alone should be a title of a cartoon. Also was super shocked and excited hearing their name in a random KZfaq video (okay, I started binge watching last week, totally not random).

Keep them coming Hi Hi Puffy Ami Yumi is so underrated I was just Cartoon Network bumpers with them in it miss those old Cartoon Network bumpers.

Fun Fact: Puffy AmiYumi also appeared in an episode of Kappa Mikey

I haven't thought about this show in years, I was so obsessed with it as a kid to the point that I got my parents to get me one of Puffy Amiyumi's albums for my birthday

Would love to see a Cage the Elephant based animated show like you mentioned in the video Jordan, they're one of my favorite bands! And Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi was one of my favorite shows growing up, I always wondered why it was so chill and appreciate you revisiting the nostalgia.💖

DUDE! This show was such a good part of my childhood, I love the character design so much, and now it makes sense why. I have a vivid memory of getting the tour bus as a birthday present! This show slaps.

I definitely remember this one. It also had (in my opinion) a really cool lead up to its premiere. I recall that back before the show began airing, Cartoonetwork had Ami and Yumi show up in various bumpers. If anyone remembers, it was the one where all the cartoon characters lived a city of sorts and you'd see them walking around or interacting with one another. In regards to Ami and Yumi, they were just two new unknown characters going around the city and doing various things(One I recall is them putting up a poster for a concert though I could be wrong) and for me, it was intriguing because I had no idea who they were and so I was extremely curious. Saw the show and ended up really enjoying it, especially in regards to the music.

My mom rented a DVD with some episodes of this show when I was little. I remember absolutely adoring it. My whole life I could never remember the name, and recently it resurfaced, I'm greatful, I can now relive this childhood memory

I ADORED this show as a child, the music was fantastic and the overall vibe was just very pleasant. While I was growing up, I always really enjoyed shows that centered around music, being a musician. Great video Jordan! And yes, I would love to see a Teen Titans video! I recently rewatched the series after not seeing much since childhood, really glad I did!

I went to one if their concerts at an Anime Convention a few years ago and it was actually cool hearing them the show intro and the Teen Titan intro.

I love when you cover these things asking if we remember and how I can admit to how specific things have been glued to my young child brain. So for this one I remember in order of frequency it pops in my head: The intro, the weird future episode but mostly on how the manager really needed his nose itched (yes this is second), the association with the titans intro, the cute as heck bumpers, finally the Yugioh parody. That’s all hope you have a nice day and thanks for making this video

I honestly really enjoy the little commercial cuts you do, really hits the nostalgia home. Love your work man, can’t wait to watch more

I used to love that show! Hope it makes it to HBO Max You should do "Whatever happened to Robot Jones?" one day!

of course i remember this show as a kid i based my personality and desperately wanted my aesthetic to be like both characters 😭

This show was a blast. I remember watching it. I've only had faint memories of this. Happy to see it getting recognized.

I loved this show growing up! I didn’t realize how long ago it came out..feeling really old rn haha I used to draw so much fanart of the girls!

I had all the DVDs and I remember just binge-watching them. Oh, the memories.

Who could forget this show? It was a cult classic CN favorite. I loved japanese culture including the music so I listened to Ami Yumi as a kid. I still do and get nostalgic. ✨

Pretty cool to see someone with some enthusiasm and interest for this show once in a while. Most of the time, I usually hear how it's not anything special or wasn't up a reviewer's alley, which is OK, but after a while, you begin to wonder if anyone liked Hi Hi Puffy Ami Yumi. I can understand why it doesn't get looked at too often since it was one of those cartoons that fell between the cracks and didn't get as iconic of a status as those like Ed, Edd, 'n Eddy, Samurai Jack or Teen Titans, so that makes videos like these even more interesting to sit through as a result. Everyone loves Teen Titans, but how many people loved Hi Hi Puffy Ami Yumi? Anyway, it wasn't a show I was a huge fan of, but I didn't mind leaving it on and just chilling out with it like Jordan here. So yeah, cool video. Brought back nice memories.

I never forgot this show. Every few months or so for the last 10 years the theme song just appears in my head and then it’s stuck in my head for the next 2 weeks

Oh my god, this the show that's always been in my intrusive thoughts but I could never remember the name. Much nostalgia, thanks for reminding me of this underrated gem.

Yet another cartoon i loved as a kid but haven't seen in years.

I was lucky enough to see Puffy Amiyumi perform live when they came to LA 5 years ago! But oh man, a key demo of ages 6-11...I was 16 at the time of watching lol Reminds me of the days when I struggled to get Jpop in America without paying $30 at Suncoast. Anywho, I like the idea of Manga vids coming up and maybe some anime to? SUBSCRIBED!!

I loved this show! It opened my to J-pop and K-pop music.

I love this show! It's really adorable!

Yes!!! I loved this show! The theme song was soo good! So was the Teens Titans theme song! And yes, I'm sorry Jordan...I in fact was aware that they made the Teen Titans theme song lol 😆

I remember this! I loved the show! Thanks again Jordan.

I miss this show...I adored Puffy AmiYumi and still do :)

Completely forgot about this... Thanks for bringing me back man lol

This show has never left my heart. ㅠㅠ

AHHHHH I remember having the dolls where they'd interact with each other when they joined hands! It was the actual jpop idols tho. I also had the mini figures of the cartoon characters!!! I loved this show so much! It actually got me into anime. I didn't get into vocaloid until I graduated highschool tho.

Loved the show! I had both the toys with the tour bus and the dolls of the singers too. When you put their hands together, the sing the theme song. I didn't realize they did the theme song for Teen Titans until one of the songs from the Mad Mod episodes also was used in the show.

u are the king of unlocking shows in my brain that i forgot existed

I liked this show a whole lot! My sister and I even had some of the toys :) we sorta related to the girls- me more Ami and her more Yumi. That was around the time I started to get more into Japanese media as well, so it was real neat having a show like this.

This show, but especially the band IRL, is so good! They released a new album this year even, "The Puffy", cannot recommend that one enough! "Pathfinder" has been on repeat for me since it came out...

WOW YOU UNLOCKED A MEMORY! I literally would look for this show and could NOT FIND IT.

This video awakened a memory, wow. I had completely forgotten this show existed, but this brought it all back!

Interesting retrospective. Since I'm half Japanese myself, I did get the band's soundtrack when I was a kid, but found the show itself to be just another 2000s comedy show with shallow anime trappings, not too far removed from Kappa Mikey, even if their affection for Japanese anime was genuine. It is at least an interesting time capsule of changing attitudes to Japan, pop culture wise, seeing how far they had come since the days when late 80s to early 90s Disney afternoon shows and even Cartoon Network shows like Johnny Bravo were still using embarrassingly stereotypical Yellow Peril villains (and this was already decades after the Second World War).

I revisited some episodes of the show this past Summer, and it's still funny to this day. I also recently met Keon Young, the voice of Kaz at Retro Toy Con, and he was really nice. I got a signed poster of Kaz signed by him.

i never forgot about this show! i adore it with all my heart 🥺

I loved this show so much. I always bring it up when reminiscing with friends and they rarely ever remember it😭

I always wondered why they never voice acted their animated counterparts

Hi! Do you think you could do an episode covering The Secret Show? I remember watching it all the time when I was little, but ever since it feels as if it never existed! Please validate my belief that this show was not just a vivid dream only I experienced! Also love your channel, this episode has earned my subscription :)

This show definitely had great music Puffy AmiYumi were great artists. Glad you did this video such a great show.

Cartoons and video games back in these days…absolutely legendary. Growing old really is a pain in the ass.

Still one of my favorite mid-2000s CN shows! Allowed me to see more of the awesome real-life band that sang the Teen Titans theme song while enjoying the crazy adventures of their cartoon selves! I even got an original Yumi keychain from a convention a couple years ago!

This was one of the shows the introduced me to anime as a kid (besides A:TLA). I really enjoyed this series, even if I didn't fully understand the anime references 😅

3:57 You sir, are a man of culture. I watched a few of your videos but I'm definitely subscribing now.

It was probably apart of everyone's childhood favorite TV show lists because it was so cool & so influence plus it made me so curious about Japanese culture. It was also why I love singing my favorite songs in Japanese from the old show & some of my current favorite animes.

I discovered this show long ago, and I did like it! I liked both Ami and Yumi, but Yumi was my most favorite, and unfortunately, I didn't really like Kaz or care about him too much, but it was a nice show regardless!

Ah yes.....HiHi Puffy AmiYumi, arguably one of the most loved cartoons of its time. And Ami Onuki and Yumi Yoshimura were the crushes of many a child, and probably one of the main reason why they grew up to love anime girls. But really though, the cartoon incarnations of the famous Japanese music duo were and still are some of the coolest and cutest characters in any CN show.

I used to dance the hell out of their theme song in my brother’s room. He had that old-ass big PC and when I was home alone, I locked myself in his room and would dance to it. Ami & Yumi and Bratz Rock Angelz were a big influence in my baby metalhead era when I was a child lol 🖤

It's been close to 2 decades since I've seen this show and yet I still remember it's theme song so perfectly.

I miss this show so much. It was my absolute favorite. Even my little brother got into it. Also.. unpopular opinion: Teen Titans Go is an awesome show and it's hilarious. Still not as good as the original though.

Cartoon Network of today unfortunately doesn't remember this good show. New Cartoon Network sucks

Bro, you have unlocked a memory I didn’t even know existed my brain is currently unraveling

hi hi puffy amiyumi show!! Literally lives in my head rent free.

They became my favorite band after the Beatles. They are the female Beatles. And damn, the group has MY age! They also did covers of a few Beatles songs.

I remember this show. The theme song was so dope. My sister and I loved it growing up in Nigeria🙌🏾🙌🏾

I have never heard of this before. Definitely one to add to the list

Geez! I saw this one when I was a kid and sometimes still think about it and every time it's "wait, what was the name"? This time you really took something back from the depths of my brain.

I miss this show so much I even remember seeing statues of their characters at the Cartoon Network store at the CNN building in Atlanta years ago

This was one of my favorite shows to watch while I would shirk off doing my homework

Thanks for going over this show! I was constantly moving when this show was running, so I would barely get to watch it due to not having access, but whenever I would be at my grandma's, this was one of the shows that I would put on to watch! It made me even give Teen Titans a chance and my grandma and I would always dance around to the openings. I have to say, this show and the reasons of how it became always stumped us and since we didn't have the internet, we would talk about conspiracy theories about Cartoon Network.

I actually remembered watching this show as a kid, and I enjoyed it.

you’re on a roll hitting me right in my feels

I loved this show as a kid. Super underrated.

I love Cartoon Network Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi and it is one of my favorite Cartoon Network’s shows from my childhood. Cartoon Network: Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi is Cartoon Network’s greatest rock and roll band’s series years ago just like Cartoon Network: Samurai Jack.

Holy shit this video unlocked the memory of this show that I’d never recover unless seeing this !!!!!! 😳
