This show I got to say is up there with some of my favorite cartoons like Samurai Jack which was also coincidentially cancelled too. But I feel that Kappa Mikey would have done better in Cartoon Network than it did in Nick, being that the audiance may have been different and be more accepting towards that cartoon. It was a pioneering show on it's own being that I have never seen a show that mixed the two different styles of American and Japanese animation into one show. It was a funny show and many of it's episodes had me and the kids laughing. Of course it helped that it was partially stylized in anime to help the jokes go further, and the chosen cast of voice actors were perfect for the parts. It had the right mix up in humor, there were parts that I saw coming and others that threw me off which made it more hilarious. Only downside to this show though was the reception towards it. People who dislike anime were driven away from it. Anime "purists" thought of it as a disgrace towards anime and neither group really gave it a chance. Overall it is an enjoyable show not ment to be taken seriously. Like any other children's cartoon it is out there to make your day enjoyable after a long day of work or school.

0 values, 0 brains
I try to find some good in everything, but I'm afraid I just can't find any in this show. The plot is flat and the characters are flat, plus the animation is horrible. The difference in the appearance of the main character from that of the others is explained through the fact that he is an American cartoon and they are Japanese. It's a good concept, but the execution is poor. I would caution parents becuase of its brainlessness. Children can get absolutely nothing from this show, plus I didn't particularly like the idea of my daughter repeating the name of a central character - Gonard. For older kids and adults there is little worthwhile in terms of dynamic humor or interesting plot. I really can't recommend this show for anyone with an IQ above 3.

the best anime wanna- be you'll ever see!
this series is funny,cool, and has heart warming moments. from the on-off relationship with mikey and mitsuki, to the love-hate relationship with mikey and lily, this show sometimes leaves in a cliff hanger, but usually just solves itself by the end of each 22 minute episode. my favorite episode is "the fugi-kid"

What a goffy show!
Kappa Mikey will make kids laugh but will bore a adult to tears. That is probably why it got a off, and a 1 star rating by a adult. Some of the humor is really random but it can get funny.

This show rocks!
This is an awsome show! I record every episode! I like the one called Reality Bites, the begening is so funny! Watch the part after they come out of the manhole, and it's very funny! And after that, fire comes out of Ozu's mouth as he yells at Yes Man. And I also like Uh Oh Guano. The funny stuff in that is Gonard trying to buy things in Japan with Butts. (Watch the episode to find out what Butts are) And when they are watching the USA version of Lilly Mu, Something even funnier happens!

The Best Show Ever
This show rocked big time! Kappa Mikey is to Best American Anime as The Electric Company is to Best Educational Comedy. It's also fun to record Kappa Mikey episodes with my VCR (the show pops up on Nickelodeon while I'm away at church sadly). The animation feels different, the characters rocked, nice plots, a moral in EVERY episode, and a lot of humor. Much better than Avatar (not funny) and Ben 10 (throw it away, Cartoon Network and bring back the classics you used to air) garbage, those two shows are even worser than Barney, CatDog, and Teletubbies combined. Kappa Mikey is not pointless, it's fun to watch. Record Episodes on Nickelodeon or get Digital Cable/Satellite with the Nicktoons Network (and more) to watch it!!!

THE MOST FUNNIST SHOW IN YEARS
EVERYBODY NEEDS TO WATCH THIS SHOW! THE MOST FUNNIST IS THE YES MAN. I WANDER WHY THEY CALL HIM THE YES MAN? MY FAVORITE EPISODE THE FUGI KID.

OF, CORSE THE GOVERMENT AGENT SAW THAT.IF YOU HAVENT WATCH THIS SHOW YET WATCH IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHAT KIND OF SHOW IS THIS!
- I rate this title off for age 2 and give it
Mediocre at best...
The plots in this show are terrible, if they exist at all. The jokes aren't that funny and overall, the show looks like a mis-happed hodgepodge of bad cartooning from a tired director. This shames real anime. If you want to see anime, go watch the real thing, not this.

Nick's best show in a while
