Fans loved it, haters hated it. 5 years ago today is when the very first episode of Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi aired. Spanning 3 seasons and getting the axe here in the States before the 3rd season was ever even finished, the show was unique in many ways. Following the show came the merchandise. America got 2 DVDs, 3 comic books, a chapter book, a sticker book, beach towel, playing cards, 2 puzzles, dolls, toys, a limited edition maquette. Japan got 8 individual DVDs, 1 video game, and all 3 seasons on DVD. Throughout the series, Ami and Yumi got into a variety of situations and met some pretty crazy and whacky characters. Harmony, Wall, Eldwin Blair, The Burlap Boys, Madame Blubbery, and of course their manager Kaz are just some of the characters that gave the girls a hard time. ut in the end, they would always find a way out of the situation they got into. Of course almost every male fan of the show was lovestruck by some of the outfits Ami and Yumi wore throughout the series such as the bikini (of course), magician's assistant, primitive, grass skirt, etc. The shows first season was a blast. But when the 2nd and 3rd seasons came up, they were easily the series' best seasons. The shows heavy criticism came solely from the fact that most people hated the animation and the jokes in the show. I can't say for sure what the real reason is fo the show getting axed but I am pretty sure it was from what I mentioned before. Some of my favorite episodes are Manga Madness, Surf's Up, Kaz vs Katz, The Amazing Kaz-Am, Ami Ami, Hypno Kaz, Time Off, Camping Caper, Cat Feud, Super Zero, Record Breakers, Movie Madness, Puffy B.C., Dupli-Cats, Agent Y, Sitcomi-Yumi, Truth or Dare, Sound Off, Small Stuff, Evil AmiYumi, Julie AmiYumi, and It's Alive!. After 3 years of being off the air, CN America as yet to announce if they will release the rest of the series on DVD. I am still hoping for a complete series box set with commentary, learning Japanese, and the original Tsunami Yumi episode (before it was butchered and turned into Surfs Up!). But that'll never happen. If so, then hell will have frozen over. Being the big Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi nerd I am, I am spending all day today watching the entire series from start to finish (I have all episodes on tape except for the last 5 episodes of season 3 and episode 7 of eason 1 which I have to watch online) and play both video games from start to finish. This is somehing I plan to start doing every 5 years. So go ahead and call me crazy or insane or stupid or and idiot but I don't tell you how to run your life now do I? (j/k).I'll be busy all day today and early tomorrow. See you all tomorrow.

The game is actually pretty cool. I've seen 39 Pokemon so far and have befreinded a lot of them. I used codes to get some Pokemon like Venusaur and Mew. I already cleared the C Rank Battle Royale and I'll be heading to the B Rank one soon (been busy lately). It just sucks that they can only learn two moves. You can't jump (as far as I have seen) and the low health thing just sucks (you can have a powerful Pokemon, but with really bad health like in the 30's are something). Other than those complaints, this game is pretty kickin. That's all for today.

This is my list of who I think are the hardest bosses to face in video games:

10. Mega-Harmony (Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi: Kaznapped!)

The boss stays on the right side of the screen most of the time. You have to push it over to the left side, climb up the ladders to get to the top and then wail on Harmony. Or just use the glitch to easily pwn her.

9. Squeeze-Tag Machine (Sonic the Hedgehog 3)

Unless you are Super Sonic in this fight you have to do a lot of jump-dodging. One slip up and you'll have to start all over.

8. Whitebeard (One Piece: Unlimited Adventure)

When he gets serious, he will spam the crap out of his super which does massive damage. Dodge like crazy and you'll survive.

7. Nightmare Luffy (One Piece: Unlimited Cruise 1)

Fighting him on Normal difficulty with the small amount of health you have is a challenge but a great way to level up moves. But just don't get hit by his sword attack or his super. You'll die really quickly.

6. Monkey D. Garp (One Piece: Unlimited Cruise 2)

He barely flinches from anything unless it's a super attack. Plus, when he gets serious he throws cannonballs at you like there is no tomorrow.

5. The bosses at the end of Sonic 2 (Sonic the Hedgehog 2)

Fighting Mecha-Sonic and Robotnik in his Giant Robot Suit is a challenge considering you have no rings and if you get hit once you have to start all over again.

4. Dr. Tongue (Zombies Ate My Neighbors)

Levels 36 and 48 are when you fight Dr. Tongue. On 36, he transforms into a giant spider only and at level 48 he transforms into a giant spider and then a giant head. Both fights are tedious especially if you have sorry weapons.

3. Aya (Onechanbara: Bikini Zombies Slayers)

Fighting Aya on the Onechanbara Wii game is tough. Especially if you are playing as Reiko and you are at the final chapter of her story mode. Aya's Duel-Sword Uppercut attack stuns you everytime it connects. She sometimes spams it 2-3 times in a row. Be prepared to swing your arm like crazy when you fight her.

2. Unlimited Characters (BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger)

Unlimited Characters are a pain to fight. Their Heat Gauges automatically fill up over the course of the battle. Unlimited Rachel has an annoying multi-use George the XIII electric frog. Unlimited v-13 has more swords when she attacks. Unlimited Hakumen has a faster Megatama Gauge. Unlimited Ragna always has Blood Kain active without the Health Drain effect of it and most of his attacks steal your health and replenish his. Plus, his other two supers, Carnage Scissors and Devoured by Darkness, do loads more damage and put you close to death.

1. Misery (Onechanbara 360 and Wii games)

Try to beat her while you are at level 100 and she will still bring you down. Even if you are in Rampage 2, she will still kill you. The easy way to kill her? There is NO easy way! Just do a lot of dodging and keep healing items with you. Take advantage of evade attacks and ecstasy attacks when your ecstasy gauge is filling up or is full. Do not use special attacks that drain your vitality because that gives Misery a bigger advantage over you. She is good at both close combat and ranged combat. In both games, her sword can extend a great distance. Her super attacks and ecstacy attacks do massive damage and trying to avoid them takes time to get used to seeing as bosses can either fight fairly or spam their strongest attacks and own you in a few short seconds.

Well, there's my list of the hardest bosses. If you have a hard boss you'd like to share, leave a comment and tell me why. I'd like to know what you think.

I was browsing GameFAQs the other day and I came across this list a user had made of the most annoying video game enemies. So I thought that I would give my take on the most annoying enemies.

10. Beast Zombies and Exorcists (Onechanbara: Bikini Zombie Slayers)

Moving around quickly, attacking you from behind, spitting acid at you, and blocking your attacks, the Beast Zombies and Exorcists are a pain. Especially when you are trying to fend off the other zombies coming at you.

9. Rokushiki Agents (One Piece: Unlimited Cruise 1 & 2)

Warping around you, using Rankyaku, and then coming up to your face and punching you. Biggest bunch of deuchebags in the games.

8. Digger Zombie (Plants vs Zombies)

They dig underneath your plants and appear on the left side of the screen eating your plants and leaving an open path for the other zombies.

7. Sword Primids (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)

Persistent and annoying as evre, as soon as you step into their line of vision, they come at you swinging. And all you want to do is get through the level.

6. Wild Pokemon (All Pokemon Games)

Can they not let me get to the next town?

5. Boogeymen (Toejam and Earl)

Fast and sneaky, these annoying earthlings can youch the daylights out of you killing you quickly.

4. Male and Female Tourists (Toejam and Earl in Panic on Funkotron)

They just want to take your picture at the cost of some of your life.

3. Kaz Bots (Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi: Kaznapped!)

Turning into a car and running you over is not cool man. Not cool at all. Always taking cheap shots.

2. Wizards (Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle)

They teleport around you, sneak up on you, and then hit you with their canes.

1. Martians (Zombies Ate My Neighbors)

Ladies and gentlemen, the most annoying enemies of all time. They run around the screen shooting Martian Bubbles at you. If you try to get to a victim, they'll put you in a Martian Bubble, stopping you breifly, and then kill the victim. When you try to get the Weed Cutting Bonus, you are put into a Martian Bubble. When they appear on screen, they chase after you, put you in a Martian Bubble, and then leave you alone for a few moments. If you get mad really easily, make sure you play the game with people around you so that you don't destroy the house.

Tomorrow's list will be something that most people have their own opinions about but I'll be sharing my own thoughts on that subject. You'll just have to see what it is.

Well I got the event Arceus today at Toys-R-Us. It was a pain to get to with so many little kids there wanting toys. I had to plow through a lot of little kids to get to the download station. I already decided which Pokemon I want to get in SoulSilver with the Arceus event. I decided to get Giratina. That's all for now.
