Animation: 8.5/10 The animation in Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi is a visual feast for the eyes. With vibrant colors, fluid movements, slapstick and charming character designs, it captivates viewers from the first frame to the last. Each scene is meticulously crafted to evoke the energetic spirit of the show's titular characters, Ami and Yumi, and their zany adventures. Whether they're rocking out on stage or embarking on whimsical escapades, the animation quality remains consistently top-notch, making it a treat to watch for audiences of all ages. It's like a mix of anime+Looney Tunes + UPA cartoons. The small problem that it's that besides using Traditional cels, also uses Flash animation and also some recycled scenes/props/characters/poses but I think that this toon makes Codename Kids Next Door look like Disney.

Timing: 10/10 One of the standout qualities of Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi is its impeccable fast timing. From comedic beats to action sequences, the pacing of each episode is expertly crafted to keep viewers engaged from start to finish. The jokes land with precision, delivering laughs at just the right moments, while the action sequences are choreographed with an infectious energy that keeps the adrenaline pumping. Whether it's a rapid-fire exchange of witty banter or a wacky chase scene, the timing in Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi is always spot-on, ensuring that every moment leaves a lasting impact, it may go a little too fast but there is some point in the episode that redeems on that little too fast part.

Writing: 9.5/10 Behind the lively animation and dynamic timing lies a foundation of solid writing that elevates Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi to new heights. The show's cleverly crafted scripts are packed with incredible humor and imaginative storytelling that resonate with viewers of all ages. The dialogue is sharp and funny, effortlessly capturing the unique personalities of each character and bringing them to life on screen. Whether it's exploring themes of friendship, pursuing dreams, or simply embracing the joy of music, the writing in Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi is consistently thoughtful and engaging, making it a standout in the world of animated television. There is some action fights sometimes (not a big fan of action) but it redeems it with a funny ass gag. But it has a lot of many zany, comical and incredibly random (in a good way!) plots but it's all centered in 3 words: Touring the World.

Entertainment: 10/10 At its core, Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi is pure, unadulterated fun. From its infectious theme song to its memorable characters, from hilarious slapstick and outrageous adventures, the show never fails to entertain. Whether you're a longtime fan or discovering it for the first time, there's something undeniably enjoyable about joining Ami and Yumi on their wild ride through the world of music and mayhem. With its irresistible charm, boundless creativity, and endless supply of laughs, Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi is a must-watch for anyone in search of pure, unbridled entertainment.
