Original Animation Series Debuts on CN in November

The International Herald Tribune has first details of a new Cartoon Network-bound weekly original animation series titled "Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi". The show will feature the Japanese pop duo Puffy AmiYumi (Ami Onuki and Yumi Yoshimura) who are enormously well known in their native country. In March 2000, Puffy made their American debut at the South by Southwest music-industry confab in Austin, Texas. And in 2002 Puffy AmiYumi did a full-scale tour in which they traveled around North America by bus. The piece interviews Sam Register of CN who is overseeing the project in-house. "For Cartoon Network, this is our first 'people' cartoon," he said. "It's the first time we've had stars that really exist." "We have to take Japanese culture and adapt it for our audience," he said. "Let's bring Japanese culture onto the TV screen. The whole thing is to keep the balance between the U.S. and Japan."
