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.
This show is great! At first I expected it to be corny, but upon watching a few episodes of it, I now love it! The characters have interesting and funny personalities, and I like how this parodies Japanese anime. Also, while the majority of the plots are nothing special, they're definitely funny, like they're supposed to be. One thing that REALLY adds to the greatness is the "Lilymu" show that Mikey and his friends are in. It has some very fun fights, and I enjoy Gonard as a villain, and I think the way it's played out is awesome.
Overall, a truly great show. It could admittedly use some minor tweaks, but it's great overall, and I think there's a lot of people who aren't giving this show a fair chance.

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.
THIS SHOWED CURED MY EPILEPSY, ITS CONTENT FELT LIKE HAVING FRUIT LOOPS MAMA BIRDED INTO MY MOUTH I LOVED IT
I've read the other comments, and the reactions to this show is very black and white. People either love it or hate it. The thing is that the bad reviews confuse me. Some didn't like that one episode with the video game and the pirates. They thought that concept was dumb. Did they expect it to be an intelligent show? Not all shows can be "Frasier" (also a good show). The show is SUPPOSED to be ridiculous! Also, it doesn't stereotype Japan, it stereotypes the ANIMATION! Yeah, sometimes it goes a little overboard with the animation, but if you watch the latter episodes, they do it less often. The animation isn't even really part of the joke, it's the dialogue. It's got funny dialogue! If people can just sit through the show, ignore the annoying bits of animation, and listen to what they're saying, and HOW they're saying, they can find this a truly enjoyable show.
