OK K.O.! Let's Be Heroes

70s disco-esque theme song. 80s influenced colors and visuals. Dragon Ball Z esque action/humor! What more can you say about OK KO?

Ian Jones-Quarterley's lovechild of 90s media nostalgia is a welcome antidote against Cartoon Network's otherwise abysmal programming. Consisting of the exploits of the naive yet eager KO(knock-out to the layman) and his more cynical teenage companions, Radicles, the picolo inspired alien show-off and Enid, the Shantae inspired slacker.

All three work for the overbearing commandeering shirtless Mr. Gar at Lakewood Plaza Turbo. Rounding out this offbeat group of heroes is KO's wrestler mom, Carol, who works as the next door judo teacher nearby. The series keeps at a very quick pace right from the get- go, anime-expressions galore, and wacky out-of-nowhere visuals. It's not exactly clear what type of world the characters inhabit, but it's main premise should be relatable to anyone. It's amazing how they get so much out of these rather simplistic character designs. It isn't exactly Adventure Time influenced, it's more Steven Universe/Bee and Puppycat influenced, yet has as much of a violent sadistic bite as the classic Powerpuff Girls. Another part that I like about it is that it's character outlines resemble the roughness of a pencil, as if they were actually drawn.

If you don't really play classic 16 bit video games, or 1990s Japanese anime, it's likely a lot of these references will go over your head. But if you want a kick-butt show on Cartoon Network, look no further than OK KO: Let's be Heroes.

now as a fan of nock force I really liked OK ko lets be heroes, I liked the episodes I watched, OK I have not seen every episode of the show but I have seen a couple, the basic plot is, a guy named ko you works at a store for super heroes and they fight robots and EXPLOSIONS!. I know the whole show has not come out on TV, but you can watch on the CN app, and on xfinity. I cant wait for it to come out in august, the show makes me think if street fighter and Steven universe mashed together.

I love OK K. O. It's a fun and enjoyable series I feel like any one of any age can watch. I love that platonic friends in the show can STAY platonic friends in the show, unlike some OTHER shows I know (Danny Phantom, Steven Universe and Star vs. The forces of evil, I'm looking at you). All the characters have their own personality, and the show heavily references game culture and coding culture without seeming pretentious.

This show is also able to be rewatched without spoiling the fun. One of the best shows I've seen seen since 2012 and I'm so sad it got cancelled.

Honestly I hope this show doesn't get cancelled any time soon because Cartoon Network dosen't seem to be doing very well ever since Regular Show got canceled and seem to be only wanting to do constant marathons of Teen Titans Go! in the USA cartoon network.

Although the animation and character designs need improving but it's not that bad.

naomi Mbugua/Spacething7474 your nothing but the worst excuse for troll and person who has a bad taste in shows. Honestly? "It's trying to be the next Steven Universe?", "I hope it gets cancelled soon because it stinks" I can't believe there is person like you on this site who can handle garbage like Breadwinners, Teen Titans Go! and The problem solverz? Truly I am a shamed and disappointed.

Anyways if you haven't seen this show yet i would definitely recomand it.

I absolutely LOVED Ok K. O: Let's be heroes, the artstyle and animation are fantastic, comedy is top notch, the visual gags actually made me laugh out loud all of the time, the characters are great and much deeper then it might look like.

Sadly Ok K. O didn't get the recognition it deserved, which caused it to be cancelled and to wrap up a little sooner than i'd like it to, that is the only reason why it doesn't get a 10/10, even with that early end they've managed bring solid closure to the series with a last episode that made me cry tears of joy.
