Info

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".

Kappa Mikey Audience Reviews

Greenes Please don't spend money on this.
ShangLuda Admirable film.
AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
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
vader_001 I started watching this a while back and i still can't the theme song out on my head i mean it is so catchy and i think anyone with a life would enjoy it.Mikey is an awesome character who is probably based on Fry from Futurama and lives up to Fry's standards. It is also hilarious when Mikey tries to imitate his co-workers when they have one of those anime moments when a characters head turns freakishly big, and he feels left out so he tries joining in which has hilarious results. Lily is like one of those Sailor Moon characters and is always annoying her peers. Gonard is a pretty much big inspiration from Goku of Dragon Ball Z(which is one of the most awesome anime's ever!) and with Sean Schemmel voicing, it really brings you back to the days when the show was still on. Mitsuki is the girl who will never really be accepted by Mikey even though she is almost a secret stalker with all his pictures. Guano is like the Pikachu with a bit of attitude and I think anyone would find him hilarious. The idea of American cartoons and Japanese Anime being combined is brilliant. And if the show where still continuing to be made, we may have seen a character based on Family Guy or the Simpsons which would have been hilarious. Could you imagine Stewie in this environment? Exactly! Thats why I recommend this show to ANYONE who wants a good laugh and someone who loves cartoons.
BlazeuvdeSpirit Kappa Mikey is a good-natured and funny show. While it pokes fun at Japanese and some American culture, it isn't in a harmful way. The characters have interesting personalities, and there are things in the show that are aimed at different audiences. I personally think the show does a good job with the parodies, and the references to Anime characters are so right on!I agree that one or two shows are not altogether great, but the rest make up for it. The animation is okay. I think it suits the show. I mean they're aiming to make it hilarious not to stare at. Often times, shows like these that are aimed at a certain age are great for all ages. If you want to watch it, it is on Nicktoons.
tenohsan06 I'm a big fan of cartoons in general. American and Japanese alike. But this is a joke. The animation sucks. The character designs are very poor and unoriginal. And even though it's a parody, it's over exaggerates. I think perhaps the creator could've done a bit more research on anime and Japanese culture before they decided to humiliate themselves with such crap. How embarrassing. This show gives anime a bad image. It's pointless. The humor is directed for people of low mentality, I'm guessing. As far as I'm concerned, this doesn't fit anywhere in the category of "good taste". If the creator has any sense, he'll drop the show immediately. Or at least put more effort into developing the style and characters more, agreed?
