Synopsis

Kappa Mikey is an American animated sitcom created by Larry Schwarz, who chose 4Kids Entertainment as the worldwide licensing, marketing and official promotional agent of the series. The show is Nicktoons's first original half-hour series, bought during the same period as other Animation Collective series such as Three Delivery and Speed Racer: The Next Generation, as well as Flash shows from other studios, such as Edgar & Ellen and The Secret Show, though the latter was made from BBC. The series premiered on January 6, 2006, as Nickelodeon aired several reruns and premieres as a promotional movement from August 20, 2006 to January 2007. The series is MTV's first global acquisition, and is currently available on iTunes. Kappa Mikey was marketed as "the first anime to be produced entirely in the United States", according to press releases from MTV, Nicktoons Network, and various other sources, as the term anime in English is generally reserved for animation originally produced for the Japanese market. It uses Japanese animation and culture as inspiration for its concept, rather than being "true" anime. As a matter of fact, the series is a homage/parody of Japanese anime. On February 16, 2008, during their "Music Week", Nicktoons Network aired their first and only original television movie, an hour-long Kappa Mikey musical entitled "Kappa Karaoke". Officially, the episode's title is "The Karaoke Episode".

Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic
Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
Rectangular_businessman "Kappa Mikey" is a terrible series, being a painfully unfunny and poorly made series, which reunites the most undesirable aspects of both Japanese and American animation.While the premise had some certain level of interest creating a parallel/contrast between the fiction in the reality, the chances to create a good parody are missed, being used several clichés and annoying stereotypes instead.Most of the humor of this series is dumb and uninspired at best, appealing to several tired and overdone jokes, none of them being remotely funny at least.None of the characters from this series is likable or interesting at least. All of them seem like bland archetypes borrowed from several different series, lacking of any kind of remarkable personality.The animation is horrible. The poorly done combination of two aesthetics (Which are different on the surface, but equally awful) results in something very ugly and unappealing, with a horrible colorization, hideous designs, very limited and basic expressions and limited movements for the main characters."Kappa Mikey" is one of the worst cartoons that I've seen in my life, which fails spectacularly at every single aspect. Personally, I think that other cartoons (Such as "Megas XLR") did a much better job at the moment of make a parody of Japanese and American animation. Also, those cartoons had more likable characters, were better animated and weren't so dumb and annoying as this series.0/10
DcheatB When I first saw the preview I thought ' not another Dragon ball Z show!' But one day I watched it fully (because I was bored) and found it to be funny! When the Scene at the beginning gets ruined in some strange manner, I always smile. When Mikey Chop's up Ozo's Bonzi tree I laughed. Many people say that the animation is bad but the flash Animation is what made it funnier! the fact that Mikey is animated differential than everyone else is what makes it truly different then most show's I know, When Mikey try's to imitate his cast members expressions( aren't they called face drops?) and say's 'show offs,' I gave that a thumb's up! Why? He is The exact example of a 'fish out of water' When the Japanese release a game we just crawl over it, Mikey Mistakenly traded Gonard for a Lilymu game! We can be very near sighted to other's feelings and Mikey is no exception! He is a over the top American! The cast of Lilymu are the exact opposite of the characters they play! Gonard isn't a viscous monster, but a lovable yet dumb oaf. Mitsuki is the character that shouts out the obvious but in reality the most forgotten cast member by Ozu and is quiet. Guano Only says his name but behind the scenes is the director, the writer, and one of the stars, Which makes him the guy who has a nervous breakdown every episode. Lily is the Damsel in the distress on the show but is actually greedy, manipulative and over bearing to others. The show is how Mikey deals with these situations in the most unusual way! I give this show a 8 out of 10.
Midgarmerc the show is great!if you're 8 years old and an idiot First off Kappa Mikey is NOT the first show to parody anime publicly watch Excel Saga or Pani Poni Dash (they're anime too but at least they're ENJOYABLE) secondly, even though its a parody its still a BAD parody, the cultural references are borderline racist and just plain unfunny. The animation has no excuse for its amount of suck, "ITS A FLASH CARTOON!!" yeah that would be fine if the show were on Newgrounds but no its a Nicktoon and therefore has the resources to deliver solid animation. Avatar The Last Airbender did it so Kappa Mikey can too. Anime is known for a certain number of criteria which are: outstanding animation, interesting characters, good sound-effects, etc. etc. all the things that go into a good show. Now there are also a lot of sub-categories in anime like: parody, romance, romance-comedy, comedy, action, sci-fi, mecha, etc. now go ahead and tell me which category Kappa Mikey parodies? ... ... thats correct, Kappa Mikey fails to successfully parody ANYTHINGwith this taken into consideration one can come to a couple of solutions either A) Kappa Mikey is a terrible excuse for a fake-anime and deserves to be destroyed or B) Kappa Mikey is NOT a parody of anime and is in fact just a border-line racist look on Japanese culture and people with terrible writing, acting, animation, music, or any other form of creativityI guarantee that one of you will ask "why come to IMDb and comment about a show you hate just to express how much you hate it?" simple, its because I cant stand idiots who think shows like Kappa Mikey and Bo-Bo-Bo Bobobo are 8 stars out of 10 qualityalthough I give Bobobo credit for actually being a BETTER parody although being better than unholy crap isn't saying much
MertonDingleOwnsMySoul I'm a fan of both Anime and American cartooning and this show is best of both worlds! Mikey is hilarious and its fun to watch him fit in.This show is also perfect for any kid thats ever moved to a totally different place, like myself. You'll also fall in love with with the characters. They all have totally different and awesome personalities. It's just a real cool funny show and I really love it. Its real original and real awesome!Its sort of like a reality show. It's a show about a show. I know that sounds kind of stupid but it really isn't. Most shows about reality shows , such as "Drawn Together", are really bad. But not this one, this one is different. Not everyone will like this show, but if you love anime and you love the American stuff then you will so fall in love with this show. It's a perfect combo.
