Puffy Cartoon

[Aaron Gerow]

With a six-year old son, I had to learn sooner rather than later, but 
it seems that the Japanese pop duo Puffy will have their own animated 
TV show on Cartoon Network in the US starting on November 19. You can 
already check out some scenes at the show's website:

Puffy--or Puffy AmiYumi as they're known in the US--have already 
contributed the theme song to the CN show Teen Titans. They've somewhat 
faded in Japan, but this may be another break. Or will they go the way 
of Pink Lady?

More Japanese cute invading US pop culture, but the animation style 
looks more Cartoon Network than Japanese anime.
