    Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

    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.

    It is important how you watch this. "Kappa Mikey" does absolutely not take itself serious but rather wants to take clichés, make fun of them and just make its watchers have a good time. First of all, there's the unique look - with Mikey Simon looking American cartoon flash-animated style living in Japan where everything looks Anime. It has a very special style to it which is incredibly exaggerated and crazy but for that reasons likable.Style is not everything, for sure it's the content that also matters. And here we get a lot of that. All in all, the stories are just like the show looks - mad, quirky and often exaggerated. But all happenings usually come up with parody, irony, sarcasm or any other kind of humour you can think of.I can accept if someone does not like "Kappa Mikey" because it's better watched with enough distance not to take it serious - it's only fun and knows about 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

    Kappa Mikey is a show about a high-school graduate (Mikey) who comes to Japan after winning a contest to be the start of the LilyMu show. The show is primarily drawn in a Japanese anime style while Mikey (and other American characters) are drawn in a western style of animation. Kappa Mikey is an interesting venture into something new. The animation isn't the smoothest in the world, but thats to be expected from Adobe Flash. Essentially, the show is a giant parody of anime, Japanese culture, and American culture (the former being more prominent than the latter). Kappa Mikey is an enjoyable source of entertainment from a network (Nickelodeon) that was struggling to find something new and original, and definitely succeeds in being a good action/comedy show.
