Right Now Kapow

I have a lot of favorite cartoons to watch, so when I first saw promos for Right Now Kapow, I wondered, "what the heck."

Well, of course that had to do with its appearance, especially its strange art style.

But when Disney XD showed clips on YouTube, I began to like Right Now Kapow more and more.

It's actually a very clever sketch show, in which star five main characters: Plant, Dog, Ice Cream, Diamond, Moon, and Candy. These characters' traits vary a LOT because, duh, it's a sketch show! The opening sequences and the transition between sketches symbolize the character's switching roles, which is a nice touch!

Right Now Kapow delivers a colorful, zany cavalcade of a cartoon that adds to its colorful, zany style. Please don't judge this show for that!

Please check out the show, and don't hate on it for small details. It's a show like no other, so you gotta try and understand it; watch it with a positive view!

Disney and Waner Bros are Titans in the animation industry so for this show to come out the way it did, there's no excuse. A sketch comedy? I know I shouldn't expect something a kin to Steven universe or anything super ground breaking the loud house and we bare bears are great shows despite being episodic comedies but they are charming and endearing. But the in your face humor of this show is just annoying and there's gross out humor witch is one of the lowest forms of comedy. And speaking of gross the animation is ugly. It legit looks like Problem Solverz one of the worst CN shows but Problem Solverz was forgivable because it was during a hard and experimental time for the network, But Disney XD has some of the best animated shows on now like star and Gravity falls, did they think they needed more bad shows to balance the good ones? Your live action crap like Walk the prank will do more than that! And why is it in flash? I know flash can look great with dedication and talent but now talent was put into this show. Besides the nasty designs there's nothing new this show has to offer, characters aren't interesting, music's forgettable and the voice acting is terrible. Hope the upcoming shows like the new Duck-tales, Country club, and Big hero 6 the animated series can help Disney's T.V animation track record.

Notice what the strong opinions describe in other reviews?

It'll get someone to think that the show runs solely on its jokes, and considering the fact that the characters have little of actual "character" as they switch from sketch to sketch, (which isn't a bad thing at first, but makes for quite a risk to take,) it would definitely be right.

Technically, right now kapow is pretty mediocre. Certainly not offensively bad by any means, but if the jokes don't hit with you, then you most likely won't leave with any impression. For me, however, I loved this show's humor. A mix of crude toilet stupidity, humor mocking people, and humor mocking the earnest struggles of life is exactly my kind of humor- but if it isn't yours, then this show isn't yours, since it doesn't have anything else to offer.

The animation, while sweet to a jaded and insensitive eye, has some bright colors that might bother those sensitive to eyestrain; but not to an obnoxious degree.

The voices and voice acting, though talented, has many voices that would be heard as jarring to anyone who isn't having a fun time watching, but for most it adds to the charm if they're enjoying the ride.

Since the humor is so hit or miss, it's really all the fault of bad writing that seems to de-optimize this otherwise nice cartoon. While I can't see it hitting the big screen or every little streaming service, it deserves to be helped up by comedic strength that can get this show to be loved by everyone, not just me, a little cult following, and that one youtube profile with the moon x ice cream yaoi profile picture. Don't look for it. If you've got the time to spend washing your eyeballs from that cursed image, then I'd say you have time to check out the show yourself, and see whether the jokes hit or miss for you.

This show does look a bit like Problem Solvers at first glance but does have funny parts. It's pretty underrated IMO. The pallet is a bit generic, being neon, but still okay. People seem to judge cartoons on art styles. Just because a show uses bright, neon colours doesn't mean it's a crap pile like the atrocity Teen Titans Go.

Sure, some of the sketches in this show are a swing and a miss, and the animation looks like something Adult Swim made, and the character designs look like Pickle and Peanut and the Problem Solverz, but in my opinion (and between you and me, this might be a VERY unpopular opinion), this show isn't all that bad. I honestly found some of the skits funny. Except the five-second rule one. That skit made Pickle and Peanut look like Gravity Falls. Still, that's not going to stop me from liking this show. (God, how come whenever I like one show, other people HATE it?) I don't recommend this show, because it appears that most people hate it, but it looks like Disney and Warner Bros. are going to make more co-productions in the future.
