"I knew I wanted to do something with them, so we did some development for what I thought would be an Adult Swim series," continued Register. "We went in that direction and, while we were doing the Puffy pilot, we were working on the Teen Titans show. The Teen Titans were so anime influenced, when the time came I encouraged Glen Murakami to listen to the band, told him about the pilot and how that might not happen, but thought we should get the girls to do the Teen Titans theme song. He was all into it, so we went ahead and had them do the song."
TEEN TITANS ANIMATED SERIES (2003-2004)
Register explained, "We have a lot of things in development and many will never be made into series - it's like many will enter, few will win. We only put two or three new shows out a year, so obviously everything in development is like playing the Lotto. Puffy at that point was on the fence. I thought it wouldn't happen. They did such a great job on the song for the Teen Titans. It came out and it was so addictive. It really helped that so many people were singing the theme songs, it was one of the great things about the Teen Titans cartoon. It was like bringing back a Brady Bunch type theme song. Everyone loved it and it really pushed Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi show that much closer to getting greenlit. We did a pilot on the Teen Titans DVD now and the rest is 26 episodes history."
