Clichés bashed to death in a show totally gone mad.

It is important how you watch this. "Kappa Mikey" does absolutely not take itself serious but rather wants to take clichés, make fun of them and just make its watchers have a good time. First of all, there's the unique look - with Mikey Simon looking American cartoon flash-animated style living in Japan where everything looks Anime. It has a very special style to it which is incredibly exaggerated and crazy but for that reasons likable.

Style is not everything, for sure it's the content that also matters. And here we get a lot of that. All in all, the stories are just like the show looks - mad, quirky and often exaggerated. But all happenings usually come up with parody, irony, sarcasm or any other kind of humour you can think of.

I can accept if someone does not like "Kappa Mikey" because it's better watched with enough distance not to take it serious - it's only fun and knows about it.
