Thanks so much for watching! Have you ever given Pucca a watch? If so, how do you feel about the show?
It’s a decent show! Say you ever heard of Dan vs. though? It’s a show that used to be on the channel, Hub. It’s an unappreciated gem of show and I’m hoping you’re able to talk about it.
Bro this show was FIRE when I was a kid 😎🔥💯
Yes I remember pucca when I was a kid
I liked watching when I was little 👍.
I remember watching this on Jetix back in the day a few times 😊.
Man Pucca was SUCH a fever dream for me! I always remembered it coming on I believe either before or after Yin, Yang, Yo on Jetix and always just a laugh watching this girl obsessing over one guy completely steam roll the bad guys when he has trouble at times lol
Bruh i swear i thought this show was fake, i saw like so many episodes but dont remember a single thing but her wanting the guy. Miss when tv used to be like this
And the Oban Star racer or W.I.T.C.H. Would come on after yin yang yo. Man I miss Jetix
Yeah.
On that note, we need a "do you remember Ying Yang Yo"
@@OtakuJuanma2 Jordan already made a video about Yin Yang Yo a year ago in case you are wondering.
I remember an episode where Garu slowly became disturbed at Pucca's LACK of affection towards him, even becoming a little jealous. Sure, the other guy was a CLONE of him, but that obvious jealousy confirmed to us as the viewers that Garu does indeed feel something towards Pucca, so her advances aren't completely unwanted. Perhaps her being around him so much and showing her loyalty towards him made him feel something for her in return.
I see it more as Garu missing the shenanigans that he was used to rather than reciprocating Pucca's affection. That or I could be biting my tongue and that really was the case, I don't remember much about it
I watched the show but then i realized that Garu only tolerated Pucca because she's basically a demi god. He has no choice but to put up with her or she'll FORCE him to come along with her plans. What kind of lesson is that?
I think it's clear that Garu likes Pucca, he just wants her to chill a bit with her PDA and not disrupt his activities.
@@lillysparrow one of the shorts shows Garu sneaking through town at night, doing his absolute best to not be noticed, only to leave a love letter at Pucca's window. So yeah, the feelings were mutual - Garu just wasn't big on public demonstrations of affection
Fun fact: Pucca's name origins were from a Korean word that also has an accent from Gyeongsang-do: "뽀뽀해뿌까" (pronounced: ppoppohaepucca) which means "I am gonna kiss you."
And yeah that is something she does to Garu.
True! Not "goddess" like all of us in the fandom think despite her absurd powers.
Pucca has such a Kirby-like expression it's so easy to remember her design all these years later... absolutely insane and hilarious this cartoon was, i'll never forget how absurd it is.
also did anybody notice how much of a "Mii" face Abio has?
he looks like one of those default Miis you'd see in a Miitopia playthrough or something lol
Pucca vs Kirby when?
@@ness6714 one day... one day lads
@@ness6714 The unstoppable force (Pucca) meets the immovable object (Kirb).
miitopia mentioned
@@poweroffriendship2.0 Kirby just eats her and becomes a god-like being
I cannot begin to explain how much Pucca meant to me as a kid. I based my entire personality around Pucca at one point with a crush. Me and my mom had matching Pucca bags (the only thing we ever matched)
Pucca always felt like a fever dream!
Also there's a theory that Pucca is ACTUALLY a goddess and that's why she's so OP. She fell in love with Goru and decided to choose to live with the mortals!
Her name literally derives from the Korean word for "goddess"
@@g1gabytezbut Pucca is Chinese
Pucca... This show was always enjoyable to watch. Made me laugh my ass off when I was young from the crazy shenanigans the characters were doing on each episode.
I watched the other season in CGI on Netflix. It dialed down Pucca’s power (from major godhood to minor godhood) and made it more apparent that Garu cared for Pucca. I think it made a huge difference and made it more enjoyable.
That's character growth
Character development
Shame they took it off. I mean, why does Netflix get rid of the good stuff like Okko’s Inn and Pucca but leaves all the crap like Cocomelon and Big mouth?
@@WarioWareFan01010 cool name

I remember Me and my brother used to love watching Pucca on Jetix and I'll be honest I don't hate the new CGI version of Pucca but I prefer the 2D series better more importantly I also love the moments where guru actually liked Pucca even Sacrificed himself for her and there's actually a video of it that has 14 million views on the official channel of Pucca.
Same me and brother loved this, back then it was so easy to watch shows like this compared to nowadays
same, me and my siblings grew up with puka and its always a nostolgic blast. I dont hate the CGI version but i dont like it either. Something bout the flash astetics really hits well while the 3d models feel flat at times.
I prefer the original web series where no one talked.
We were spoiled by Jetix. So many incredible shows, Pucca standing out as one of the most memorable. I think the thing that grabbed my attention with the show was not only how fun it was to watch, but also the references, especially the Sailor Moon one. XD
I love this show and Pucca Santa was by far the MVP and the funniest character in the show.
Unlike other shows where Kris Kringle is exclusive to Christmas specials, Pucca just keeps him as a recurring character outside the holidays.
I loved this show when i was kid. Disney world still sells Pucca plushies at Animal Kingdom. I was so happy to get both Pucca and Garu together
As somebody who watched a lot of Jetix as a kid, how could I forget Pucca? It was like on everyday and it was highly entertaining every episode. I also did go back and watch many episodes this year.
I definitely love watching Pucca as a kid. Considering how she managed to beat every enemies she encountered in the series proves how extremely overpowered she is just for the love of Garu.
Her power-scale went off the charts that puts Goku or Saitama to shame.
Pucca couldn’t defeat every enemy on her own power.
Ring Ring, Supercharged Tobe, and the Lugies were just a few of the foes who gave her trouble.
I used to love this show, I went out of my way to find it on demand whenever I went to my aunt's house. Toby was my favorite character, I loved watching Pucca effortlessly thwart him. I had no idea there was a third season, I can't wait to see it. I also didn't know it was this popular, it feels like a lot of Jetix shows were lost to time
For what it’s worth, I think nostalgia for a lot of Jetix is high, it’s just that so much of it was syndicated programming or made for Disney, so they have very little means to make the shows available themselves
I both loved and hated Pucca tbh. It was so fun to watch animation wise, but I haaated how Pucca never left Garu alone despite my ninja boy constantly trying to get away/hide from her.
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who thinks this
Omg I thought I was the only one.
You know I always thought Pucca was a ninja since she never spoke and every time she got mad, she displayed ninja like moves to defeat her opponents perfect match for our main character, who also doesn’t speak weird how they both are the only characters in the show that don’t talk while literally everyone else does 😂
Pucca was one of those cartoons that really defined my childhood, I always loved her interactions with Garu which really amped up the comedy of the show, watching a premiere of a new episode meant so much to me that it became a tradition.
Loved this show, criminally underrated
Garu was about that grind and I respect that.
I loved Pucca growing up and I loved how there were some episodes where Garu would return Pucca's feelings or even just show content in her company. Those episodes and shorts were always my favorite.
Man, this show means so much to me. For a while i've headcannoned Garu as being aromantic, and such being why he seems to never show interest in anyone. That was because i was aromantic. It really helped me understand what i was, it really did. Other than that, the whole show felt like a fever dream. I still remember quite well the events of Noodle Around the World. Definitely my favorite episode.
I find Santa being a major side character in this series very funny.
I remember watching this show allot with my brother. Then one day we get a pug puppy that would always be by our side no matter what we did or where we went in the house so we decided to name her Pucca just because they were both so loving and always fun to be around. It's been a few years since I've said goodbye to her but this video reminded me of her and all the years we spent together.
HOLY CRAP I LOVE THIS SHOW! Thank you so much for reviewing it.
Oh I remember Pucca. It had the Tom and Jerry effect for me. I'd enjoy a lot of it but sometimes poor Garu would just be beset by WAY too much. He doesn't even hate Pucca. He just kinda wants to do his ninja thing uninterrupted. It's not like he's antisocial either considering he's always up for sparring with Abyo and engages in the Sooga villain events of his own accord...most of the time.
There was one episode of Pucca where they were both together and Pucca never flirted with him. I think it's the one where they do a parody of Super Sentai. And he has no problem being around her. I always found that interesting.
Pucca was such a good show! I remember loving it
Me too
My sister and I loved Pucca, a show about an adorable noodle delivery girl, with the super strength that could give both Homelander and Omni-Man a run for their money, and who has a yandere crush where it's humorous and cute, and minus the creepiness, Pucca was one of the hidden gems of my childhood.
I was just reminescing about this show yesterday. It was honestly one of my favorite shows as a kid, and all of my siblings loved it just as much, which was rare.
There is something so nostalgic but also dynamic about the OG flash animation for pucca that I feel like 3d can’t capture, really hope if they make
More pucca that it returns to animation
I loved this show as a kid. Indeed it was quite popular in Latin America(I'm from Brazil), I used to see it everytime on tv. My parents loved the show as well, cause as you said, it's simplicity caters to many different audiences. Such a goated show
Pucca has always been my comfort show for me, you're just supposed to laught at the crazy stuff that happens and not think about it too much, and it accomplishes that goal while still not feeling obnoxious. I think a lot of new shows could learn a thing or two from it, not that I have anything against more serious and complex plots in cartoons, but I feel like a lot of the time cartoons nowadays are either trying too hard to be deep and forgetting to be fun, or the opposite and being obnoxiously silly.
Pucca was genuinely such a good childhood memory. Thanks for bringing some fresh light to this super early moening show. I blame shows like this for my insomnia. This and Toonami. Specifically Inuyasha. ❤
I really love Pucca and the more recent version that came out on Netflix a few years ago. That one had an really cute ending theme that I find myself singing from time to time
I was obsessed with Pucca for some time when I was a kid. It was…A lot of things lol
Looking back at it now, I do find Pucca as a character to be really frustrating (ie. she gets away with a lot of crappy things.) WITH THAT SAID- I know it’s a comedy first. And it *is* true that Garu doesn’t hate Pucca, just finds her to be overwhelming at times. And there are hints that he does reciprocate and those moments *are* cute.
So I still enjoy the brand and franchise for its goofy charm
I remember the first time my friend told me about this show. She said she’d watched it a lot growing up in Peru and when it came on Netflix when we were young teenagers, she was so excited. We ended up watching all two seasons pretty quickly. This video came up in my recommended and I had to watch it to remember my friend. This was such a blast from the past. Loved the video.
I ABSOLUTELY loved Pucca!!!! Such a great childhood memory of mine ❤
I remember watching this a few years back and i still watch the episodes on UA-cam
This show is great would definitely recommend
Pucca was one of my favorite shows growing up. Its so easy to enjoy with its cute wacky stories and the action. Its honestly the perfect show to me in a lot of ways.😊
This Show was Great, I remember watching Pucca a lot when it was on Disney XD. Also checked out the reboot one, it was good too and they did a Hilarious SpongeBob reference in the show.
Please never stop with the hits! As a 97 baby you've been spot on with nostalgic milestones of TV and tickle the brain everytime
This show was EVERYTHING!!! I had Pucca slippers when i was a kid
Pucca was the one show I was hyped to sit and watch through on Jetix. It just had this nice funny charm to it that you just want to see Pucca and Garu have a goofy moment while caring for each other
The side characters are great, I have many good laughs with this show
I was really really obsessed with Pucca back then😂 when I was in school I had everything on her, backpacks, erasers, plushies, pencils, you name it. I really loved it and I'd say it's one of the first 'anime' I saw growing up.
I remember enjoying watching this show as a child, I have completely forgotten what it was called, you have brought back so many memories!
Jordan you just unlocked a big memory here...i remember watching the shorts and obviously the show itself and it was...really great actually and i remember a friend of mine loved the show and she even had a lot of merch of the show and now i actually found out that my mother still conserved the Pucca and Garu toys.
Only problem i had it was they over aired the show and it was starting to get repetitive still never got tired of the show itself because of how everything came to be.
Also Pucca being just some kind of all powerfull being was my favorite gag.
I've actually never seen season 3 yet i really need to watch it because it looks that i would end up loving it like the og 2 seasons.
Also that main theme slapped.
I think I've rewatched Pucca in its entirety like 3 times by now. After this video, I might just go for a 4th rewatch. It's charming, fun, and easy to watch for everyone due to the minimal dialogue.
This was possibly the one show me and my sister had in common when it came to TV. If this was on neither one of us would complain
I remember a couple a years back they showed a spooky episode early morning right before going to school, there's a jump scare at the end of the grudge look a like and parents were complaining that their kids got scared 😂
I’ll never forget when I went to china at 17 yrs old and was surprised to see This one girl I went to school with over there with a pucca pen. Had a fever dream and almost flipped out lol. There was so much pucca merch and chibi maruko-Chan stuff that still existed, I had no clue on. I thought it was gone but apparently it never went off air in china.
My favorite episode was one where Pucca's uncles had a "falling out" that was a literal war with veggie grenades and everything. My 6 year old brain really belived that bitting the end of a radish and tossing it would have an explosive effect
God I loved this show. Been waiting for this one
MY CHILDHOOD! Glad to see it’s actually getting attention!
As I kid I really wanted it to get a movie but never did 😂
i LOVED Pucca as a kid; it's such a nostalgic show for me
Don't kill yourself by working to much Jordan. Love the videos!!!
I always loved Pucca and I remembered that the cards and small animations on UA-cam. In those shorts Pucca and Garu were boyfriend and girlfriend, but in the show they weren’t. So I always saw them together (as a couple) and the show was before they were in love hehe.
I mean its not that weird that a character for a card company made it big. Care Bears and Strawberry Shortcake are great examples of being characters made for card companies and have become some of the most recognizable characters out there.
This show was fun to watch and it never ceased to entertain me. Also, Pucca is super cute.❤
I loved this show in High School, I thought it was so cute and cool. I loved going to the Pucca website too, I'd play the little flash games they had which were fun too
I never forgot about Pucca. That show was so fun to watch.
Oh lord this woke up a lot of memories. It's like when I suddenly remembered the existence of Dorks and Zorks, only more wholesome
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Man, I LOVE Pucca!! I loved it when I saw my first episode and I felt it just kept getting better! I got way excited when I saw that Netflix created that new season. It was pretty uncomfortable to see them so 3D after years of rewatching, knowing and loving the strictly simplistic 2D style, but they did a pretty great job at capturing the essence of the original!
This show is legendary
I was obsessed with this show for a while lol
I find it funny that the only way I've watched Pucca before was only on angry birds toons where I specifically opened up angry birds star wars and tapped on the toons icon so I could browse whatever was on there without needing to connect to wifi. I actually got really sad when they took away the angry birds toons feature to I think all of the games. I missed rewatching whatever commercials and series that were on there like a pangolin angry birds ad, stella series, bad piggies ad, shawn the sheep, cananimals, pucca, the actual angry birds toons, all of the piggy tales seasons, etc
OMG!! I was obsessed with this show as a kid! It aired a lot on Toon Disney, along with Yin Yang Yo, and I'd tune in to both shows every week. It was a fun time
Loved this show as a kid! Every now and then I’ll track down the episodes online and rewatch the series. The Bollywood and the wedding episodes were some of my favs.
You are doing gods work Jordan Fringe. Helping the memories of old forgotten media live on. In this age of turmoil in the entertainment industry, it is more vital than ever.
I remember encountering this on Jetix alot, either while waiting for other show on the channel, or just seeing what show all those ad break shorts built up to. Good slap stick.
This is the PERFECT time to watch another one of your videos. This show has been on my mind because I remembered the theme song 😅 but I thought there was something weird about it.
One weird core memory I have about Pucca is that when I was in, like, middle school, this girl wanted to prove that I actually enjoyed Pucca by making me sing the theme song. In retrospect, I think _anyone_ could've sung that song even if they'd seen the show once, but still. Weird time. Loved this show, though.
THIS was the one I was waiting for, thanks for getting to cover it, a lot of the Jetix shows still sleep rent-free in my mind
Since Jetix in Latin America was a standalone channel and not just a block, it got aired a bunch, I absolutely loved it!
Pucca was my favorite show growing up. I even played the cooking game, Pucca n' friends for sometime too.
I loved pucca when I was a kid! I drew a lot of pictures of her when I was younger because I liked how there were so many wardrobe options for her
Whenever I hear this show mentioned it always put a smile on my face. I used to love this show back in the day and had recently discover the netflix season. I would always watch it when I'd see it airing and even watched a few episodes On Demand.
loved this show! got introduced to it on a whim by a cousin one day in '08 & still put on the intro & credits occasionally, the music is a bop (especially the tracks in the 3D shorts from that time~)
The promotional clips for the "Pucca Pucca Dance Party" is seared into my brain and I loop those words in my head randomly at least once or twice a year.... I've never seen an episode
See I always thought that Garu cared about Pucca too. Otherwise he'd try to get rid of her completely, but he hid it from her for the very reason he couldn't be with her: his ninja training.
I remember watching the original e-cards shorts as my aunt loves Pucca. Both those and the show are great
I was old enough to realize this show was basically a merchandise commercial but it was still tons of fun.
Pucca is my favorite cartoon, and my biggest inspiration to becoming a cartoonist/ animator xD
I love your nostalgic videos dude
I remember Pucca being a big favorite of mine and snatches of the theme song will pop into my head from time to time.
Something people forget about Pucca and Garus romance is that they are 11 and 12 at the start of the anime. Garu is not interested in romance being a young boy, but he makes it clear that he does genuinely care for her, especially by the end when they're about 13 and 14, when Garu starts to open up a bit more to the idea of Puccas romance.
Another thing about Pucca and why she is a much better ninja than her boytoy greatest ninja-in-training is that Pucca to some extent is portrayed as a goddess, the weather changes with her emotions, she can move faster than physically possible seemingly teleporting, everyone adores her and find her absolutely adorable. There is even an episode that shows Pucca as a literal greek goddess in a past life. Garu is frequently considered The Chosen One, and I think it's clear that Pucca was sent down to protect either him or the town itself.
I always loved Pucca. When I found out it was UA-cam and started rewatching it, I had a feeling some people would try to cancel it or something because of her chasing after Garu and not being independent or something. I remember reading that they are together he just doesn't like pda and 🤷🏾♀️🤷🏾♀️
I literally have a pucca plus that I got a couple of years ago. I love her. Pucca is a comfort show to me
I STILL LOVE PUCCA TILL THIS DAY
Even looking at the muted scenes i REMEMEBER THE VOICES SO CLEARLY!!!
I loved this show growing up. Which is why it really sucks that it's come under fire recently for being 'problematic' along with the likes of chowder and similar relationship dynamics.
You still enjoy the show while also acknowledging how inherently screwed up the "relationship" dynamics are.
@@darryljack6612 that's like acknowledging scooby doo isn't an accurate depiction of criminal investigation. Sure it's true but it's not really something that needed to be said imo. Plus I wasn't really talking about those who do actually enjoy the show anyway. Most of the videos I've seen on the topic are about how shows need to stop using the trope. It's one thing to acknowledge it as an unhealthy realistic relationship, it's another entirely to treat it as a problem with the show itself.
I loved Pucca!! Occasionally still watch it on youtube too. Thanks for covering this oldie goldie. ❤
Thank you so much for all videos you made. You are one of my absolutely best youtubers ever. Zdraví Nogy. Greetings from Czech Republic.
I also watched Pucca back on Jetix in the past.
I’m happy to watch this video with one of my favorite childhood shows growing up as a kid
Idk why I loved Pucca so much. I used to be right by the Christmas tree waiting for it to come on 😂 I tried not to miss a single episode. I personally call this the Ed Edd n Eddy effect because I have seen EVERY SINGLE EPISODE on tv growing up, (the movie actually being the last time I seen it on tv before I got older ) I used to be just as addicted to Pucca.
I like what you said about Pucca being understandable, even if it is muted. I first discovered Pucca when I was in Peru in 2007, and in peru it was extremely popular. I watched it in Spanish, and I know very little spanish, but I still understood what was going on in the plot.
I like the CGI version a bit more. I can see Garu actually likes being around Pucca more there than the 2d show. I personally find it weird no one ever seems to be put off by the whole Pucca chasing and kissing Garu thing. I never really interpret it as Garu not knowing how to show his real feelings, more like him just trying to get away from someone who just doesn't take the hint, but can't cause he has taken a vow of silence, for some reason. I guess if Pucca had a overarching story I'll be more into it, like the CGI show brings up Garu's past near the end and I was interested in that, but that's more something I want compare what the show wants to be.
The theme song is amazing 😂😂 still holds up today remember watching it on jetix toon Disney back in the day that and certain seasons of power rangers the fact that it's not on Disney plus yet is criminal 😂😂
Somewhere in a box I have a pucca stamp I got probably for Mcdonald and it is the main reason I never truly forget this show cuz I loved that stamp.
I remember some people being obsessed with Pucca. I would always see Pucca merch until I just didn't and I feel like it disappeared into the wind.
