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.

Kappa Mikey may look dumb at first sight, but the show will honestly grow you on. It's basically about a boy named Mikey from America (And is animated like traditional American cartoons, thick outlines, round eyes etc.), and travels to Japan to star in an anime show. So it's an anime about anime kind of. But funny things happen to Mikey and his friends in the show. It's cleverly written, and the characters are lovable.

It does parody anime at times, for example, in one episode Mikey sees a doctor named Dr. Takashi who wears his medical headband over his left eye (Like Kakashi from the anime Naruto). So there are parodies of anime in here, but it is one hilarious show, and I think you should give it a try.

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.

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.
