Kappa Mikey

Kappa Mikey is an American animated television series created by Larry Schwarz. The show was created by Schwarz's studio Animation Collective.

Plot
The series is a parody of Japanese anime, featuring a young American actor named Mikey whose appearance is styled after Western cartoons, and travels to Japan to star in a tokusatsu show called LillyMu, where his anime-styled co-stars represent common anime clichés.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) The premise of a Western cartoon character co-starring along side anime characters is very unique for its time.
 * 2) Decent flash animation, mostly for the non-anime characters like Mikey. However, the animation does gets better in Season 2.
 * 3) Good voice-acting.
 * 4) Some of the characters are likeable, like Guano, Gonard, Mitsuki and Mikey himself.
 * 5) Surprisingly, it does satirise the common anime tropes really well. It even pokes fun of such.
 * 6) It was one of the few original series to have been aired on Nicktoons Network, such as Making Fiends, Corneil & Bernie, The Secret Show, Skyland, Edgar & Ellen & etc.
 * 7) Amazing theme song. What gives this an upgrade is that it was actually composed by an artist from Japan, even for a flash-animated series. How awesome is that?!
 * 8) Also, the songs in "The Karaoke Episode" and "Mitsuki Butterfly" are also good and catchy.
 * 9) It was one of the fewer animated series to not have animation outsourced to any animation studios abroad, as well as not have an agency.
 * 10) A clever running gag that occurs when anime characters can do one thing that Mikey himself can't, due to him being drawn in Western.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Since this series was animated in Flash without the assistance of any overseas animation studio, people may find the anime characters a poor effort.
 * 2) Also, the CGI of the show didn't aged well.
 * 3) The start of each episode can be too formulaic.
 * 4) Some use of toilet humor and fart jokes.

Trivia

 * The show was announced to be released from Noggin's teen block called The N, However, the show was moved to Nicktoons Network.
 * This was Animation Collective's first ever animated series for television.
