"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

I can't really see why so many people are bashing on this TV-show. I mean, sure the Animation is crude, the chibi style is a bit overused and there's way too many sound effects. But still, there's many points why this is a great one too.First, Kappa Mikey is actually just a parody of itself. It's not meant to be serious, and the target audience for this show has to be Anime lovers. You'll see lots of references to Full Metal Alchemists, Chobits, Azumanga Daioh and even Yu-gi-oh which is jokes most people just don't get. I also see most of the people complaining are either kids, teens who can't write normal English or nerds, huh?Secondly, the character designs looks very decent, not really crappy. I mean, it's still a lot better than most Anime flash animated movies on the net, right? The coloring is also just right, so let's give an applause for that. Third, most episodes are about the problems regarding Anime. Edits when releasing it outside Japan (Like 4kids does), Piracy (Ecspecially Video Games), writing scripts for countless episodes (Bleach, Naruto, One Piece...) and the use of music. Fourth, the fact that they actually got a popular Japanese band like "Beat Crussaders" to perform their theme song is just unbelievable. Fantastic. Splendid. And the song is even catchy. The fact that they didn't bother to make a new ending theme is what keeps it away from getting 10 of 10.I guess some people will continue to bash this show to death and make fun of people who're watching this. But they're just stupid themselves, since they can't blame anyone for liking a show. That would be the same as blaming someone for enjoying violence.But that's all for now. And at least give this show a chance, before blaming it for everything. It took quite some time to get into it.

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

This show is great! At first I expected it to be corny, but upon watching a few episodes of it, I now love it! The characters have interesting and funny personalities, and I like how this parodies Japanese anime. Also, while the majority of the plots are nothing special, they're definitely funny, like they're supposed to be. One thing that REALLY adds to the greatness is the "Lilymu" show that Mikey and his friends are in. It has some very fun fights, and I enjoy Gonard as a villain, and I think the way it's played out is awesome.Overall, a truly great show. It could admittedly use some minor tweaks, but it's great overall, and I think there's a lot of people who aren't giving this show a fair chance.
