[@go-gogodlike6179]

I'm so glad you brought up the background design because to me that's what holds this show's art together. Like it's great at establishing balance for animation; spacious and chaotic enough for the characters to go off in but still intentionally crafted to make everything pop visually in the foreground. Some of my favorite background design next to like My life as a teenage robot or Flapjack.

[@teriusspain176]

29:20 to 29:30 The reason why this show doesn’t have a unique variant of the 2000s Cartoon Network Studios logo is because this show was produced at a different studio. Most shows produced at CN Studios either had a custom animatic variant or a variant where a green laser makes the logo appear. Shows not produced at CN Studios like Kids Next Door or Ed, Edd, ‘n Eddy won’t have the logo.

According to Fandom Wiki for HI HI PUFFY AMIYUMI, Ami is 16 years old, and Yumi is 14 years old. However, the perceived age may be lower. It is also worth mentioning, that this show originates from Japan.

[@DaDualityofMan]

[@cheyennec5546]

Minus the character design I doubt P&S took any inspo from this. PAM is an American made cartoon to cash in on the Japanoplile era of the time and it shows. Panty and Stocking was made by Gainax who, alongside making many iconic anime’s, specialize in wild comical adult humor anime’s with better animation that usually lasts a single season such as Ebichu & the “Cutey Honey” Remake. The character design is the same but the plots, beats & content DO NOT COME CLOSE to resembling one another , So this statement is like saying “Hamtaro walked so Ebichu could run” on the surface, especially visual wise, you can see how it’s the same, but the two are WILDLY different when you look closer.

[@kimifw58]

Sadly, P&S didn't run. It was cut short because the Japanese didn't like it enough.

To think that thanks to this one cartoon, my young Japanophile self got totally submerged into not only JPOP and JROCK, but also the artistry behind the original themes and background music composed for media. Without this one weird cartoon involving the band that did the Teen Titans theme and some other bangers heard on the show, I wouldn't be as fully into L'Arc En Ciel, Hikaru Utada, DAOKO, Ayumi Hamasaki, or the music of idol anime like Love Live or Zombieland Saga. This weird nearly forgettable western cartoon made during the height of otakumania managed to hook me into a whole country's musical output and culture, while other band-toons were just giving me more of what I already knew and loved like Jem and the Holograms' glam rock or Dethklok's heavy metal.

The only issue with Kaznapped is that they made it a freaking a puzzle platformer of all things. Even "easy" games like Kirby require some skill. Oddly enough it felt like an actual 2D version of Battle For Bikini Bottom, compared to the actual GBA BFBB. Definitely in dire need of a PS5 Remake

But for your videos, we make time. We put everything else away and watch them like cinema, as that feels like the only appropriate way to appreciate the work you do. There’s something communal about your videos, something about the honesty and humor and insight with which you approach every topic that demands us to straighten up and pay attention. Every time we sit down to watch one of your videos together, we rob you of the extra view you’d get if we watched them separately.

My source is that he's interviewed on the HHPAY DVDs. Which I own.

So they're saying he's an asshole and they used the show to vent lol?

He was! I met him at a concert and got his autograph (and Ami's and Yumi's, of course.)

Always thought this show had serious style. I don’t remember anything past the first season airing on YTV in Canada, but I think I need to seek those later episodes out. The little music videos they did were some of my favourite parts of the show, having some great imagery along with the songs they played. Good stuff! Also I keep forgetting What’s New Scooby Doo played one of Puffy’s songs, Urei (my personal favourite, alongside Planet Tokyo).

Fun fact: apparently (according to TV Tropes, so take this with a grain of salt) the show was so effective at selling their relationship that they initially disliked the show because they thought it was portraying them as romantically involved. Which, given the content of the actual show, and the fact that seven year old me shipped them before I knew they were based off real people (or even what shipping really was) I shippepd them very hard, I can't really blame them for thinking that.
