This is the very first Cartoon Network original series to be Anime-styled, despite being Cartoony in the earlier seasons, the first one to do so since the Original Teen Titans series
Mark Randall's role as Brad Ringson was way better than he did to Wayside Todd in 1995-1998
The Anime-style began when an anime artist who was Japanese-Australian Drew an anime concept art of Ami
The show was originally Meant for Disney Channel which was a 2003 pilot, shortly after HHPAY made a pilot, Pitched with the intention of Becoming a Disney Channel series, but was turned down thrice, eventually ended up cancelling it as a Disney show and in early 1980, Cartoon Network eventually adopts it to become a Cartoon Network Original Series, This also happened to Adventure Time, but it was Nickelodeon instead of Disney Channel
It was the last Cartoon Network show to use the 1994 logo,it which it was kept until season 4 (March 2002),when the show started to have Check It bumpers
The show kept the new wave era since Check-It 1.0 debuted until it started adopting Check-It in August 1, 1989 ,when the show premeired a fourth season (US version of this show switched to new wave from May 2002 to March 2002) this only affects TMORO

Rotten Tomatoes[]

Best or Terrible?[]

It should be one of the best

Why It Rocks[]

Voice acting was made better than HHPAY
Jokes are legitimately funny
Ryou is a mature protagonist
Some Endings are heartwarming
Cool character designs
Creative Content and Recycles
Nice Ideas
Solid Storyline
Fun to watch
Variety of Sound effects and Jokes
Balanced Comedy
Nice songs and parodies
most bad jokes even fit in the "so bad,it's good" category
Ryou later gets to be a character in Crossover Town
There are cameos from other Cartoon Network shows
Despite the Season 7 art style being Horrible,it meets the "so bad,it's good" category
This franchise has more videogames than online games
The logo is cool,although not as superior as it's prequel's logo
After Season 4 had ridiculiously milked,Chad forced them to reduce it for Season 5 and make a neccesary hiatus after Season 5
The Animation had a moderate to major improvement compared to it's prequel
Rambo Inuyasha (Ryou's Dog) was a badass pet
The anime was a massive improvment,sadly,it was the only Cartoon Network reboot that got positive reviews from critics and fans alike
Unlike,other Cartoon Network series,the games were nicely executed and the success was continuous (albeit the GBA version of the first game was terrible)
Alot of memorable things
It spawned several memes,like Ryou's Catchphrase
Ryou isn't as annoying as Ami have
Despite how Generic at start, it's nice to see Julie again, she ended up with a positive flanderation, become badass

Bad Qualities[]

Ami has retained her immaturity
Several Errors
Super Hungry Yumi was far the worst episode
Sometimes,things can get too wacky for it's own good
Some jokes are bad
The Season 7 art style is widely infamous becuase of how horrible it is, Chad inevitably notices this and decided change the art style to Anime-style in Season 8
Since The Marvelous Misadventures of Flapjack got cancelled (which leaves Ryou Onuki was the only 1987 Cartoon Network show remaining), Cartoon Network starts to milk Ryou Onuki to death, it was first noticeable in Season 4, fortunately, Chad Kawasaki is against it
Kaz Harada is flanderized, becoming a bit of Benson Dunwoody
- that also made Ryou quit his job once he knew Kaz's atrocitiesh
Season 5 is when it starts to dip in quality (a bit) ,starting with "Super Hungry Yumi"
- The quaility starts to seriously dip in Season 6,where the show was revived in 2008
Some episodes (and/or scenes) can be/are atrocious
- Super Hungry Yumi was worse than it's preceedessor,as Yumi ends up in a food addiction,getting very fat,Ryou has to solve it
- There are several scenes where Ryou rips his clothes,which are cringeworthy,fortunately,he stopped doing that since Season 3
- Erika is sometimes shown on her underwear,which are also cringeworthy,she stopped in the anime thankfully

Terrible TV Shows Wiki (Season 6)[]

Bad Qualities[]

Bland plot,even if compared to Seasons 1-5
Flanderization: Kaz got easier to lose his cool
Awful Jokes
Uninspired,most of the plot are recycle from it's prequel series
Mediocre moments
The Season after this got worse
Some of the characters from the past seasons are missing
"OUCH, S***!!" - they forgot to censor this
Overuse of Whoopie slaps

Good Qualities[]

Nice Animation and Voice Acting as usual
Amazing Music as usual
Yuri Yoshimura is no longer that immature compared to S1-S5, gaining character development
Decent Animation and Voice acting as usual
Seiku Harada (Kaz's younger sister, her age is mid-20's) isn't as greedy as her older brother, she pays Ryou and Yuri properly, even for a group of gamers
Some good episodes, Season 7 barely had any (Episodes 11 and 24 of that season)

Why The 7th Season Sucks[]

The Art Style WAS GREATLY DEGRADED in which the artstyle got worse,from HiHI Puffy AmiYumi with worse outlines but with widescreen and better color,to a Phineas and Ferb Rip-off
The characters looks Ugly thanks to the artstyle
Crappy Ideas
Mediocre Acting
Most of the logic dosn't make sense
Messed Up Sound Effects
Cheap errors
The animation got worsened to Flash in the final 6 Episodes
Kaz got even more flanderized becoming a psycopath

Redeeming Qualities[]

Kas Harada In the other hand,still looks decent even in that artstyle
- Yumi to a lesser extent
Chad (The Creator) learned his mistakes from this
"The End of An Era" is a good way to end the series to be revived as an anime
