Futurama and Kappa Mikey are the same show almost

- main character is a 20-something year old guy with spikey orange hair

- he’s childish and dumb and sometimes gross but will do anything for his friends

- one fateful day (Episode 1) he unexpectedly ditches his crummy old life and ends up in a cool new unfamiliar setting

- gets hired by old man alongside a bunch of weirdos

- every so often we get sad glimpses into his old life

- best friend is a gluttonous bastard who’s always causing trouble

- falls in love with co-worker, but she repeatedly rejects him due to his immaturity

- soon embraces new life and forms strong friendships

- gang goes on wacky satirical (& often dangerous) adventures, rarely doing actual work

A Look At Stuff You Probably Never Heard Of: Kappa Mikey

Okay, so, I was going to do this in June, same month I took at My Life Me, but I kinda forgot and did something else. So instead, we’re going to do this entry right now. So, back then, I took a look at a Canadian anime animated in Adobe Flash and now, we’re taking a look at an American anime animated in Adobe Flash. Today, we’ll be taking a look at... Kappa Mikey!

Kappa Mikey was a comedy TV show created by Larry Scwartz that aired on Nicktoons from February 25th, 2006 to September 30th, 20018 with 2 seasons, 52 episodes, and one TV movie. While it was animated in Adobe Flash, some CGI used in the series was used by Maya, the same software used for South Park and even RWBY.

The story of Kappa Mikey follows a normal, if self-centered and cocky American adolescent named Michael “Mikey” Simon (voiced by Michael Sinterniklaas) who wins a trip to Japan to star in a Japanese TV show called “LilyMu” (in truth, the ticket just flew in his face). LilyMu itself is an action TV series with various characters based around common anime character archetypes. Oftentimes in the series, there’d be some problem (usually relating to Mikey) that causes problems with filming, causing the plot for the remaining episode that’s resolved by the end.

Mikey is often accompanied by his co-workers. Which include Gonard (voiced by Sean Schemmel), a big, husky, but dim-witted and friendly young man who plays the role of the antagonist in LilyMu. Mitsuki (voiced by Carrie Keranen), who is a shy, soft spoken blue-haired girl with a heart of gold and always caring about her co-workers and those around her and she has a crush on Mikey. Her best friend is Lily (voiced by Kether Donohue), who is a cruel, selfish, and rather heartless girl who was the previous star of LilyMu before Mikey came and as a result, she despises him. Lily and Mitsuki swap character personalities when acting with Lily’s character being a shy, polite, soft-spoken damsel-in-distress character and Mitsuki’s character being a rude, harsh, and insulting bad girl hero character. Guano (voiced by Gary Mack) is someone who wears a costume that resembles a creature of some kind, never taking it off. He’s the script-writer and director for LilyMu and plays a character that can only say “Guano” not unlike a Pokemon. While very friendly, he gets easily stressed out from work or his friends’ antics.

There’s also their boss, Ozu (Stephen Moverley), who is the producer of LilyMu and owns various other things in Japan. He’s notoriously short-tempered and demanding, but treats Mikey better than the others. He’s accompanied by someone only known as Yes Man (voiced by Jesse Adams) who is your typical Yes Man, always agreeing with anything Ozu says. Basically Mr. Smithers to Ozu’s Mr. Burns, only without the homosexual subtext.

As mentioned before, the show is animated almost entirely in Flash. It’s quite apparent with Mikey himself was animated in Flash, while the Japanese characters are more traditionally animated, but still also somewhat animated in Flash. This gives way for the characters performing anime-esque like actions, like a Face Fault when something stupid or absurd happens or their faces blowing up to larger proportions in response to something surprising. A common recurring gag has Mikey trying to mimic his friends’ anime-like antics, only to be unable to do it.

The humor can be rather hit-or-miss at times and they tend to rely a little too much on the anime expression, but that’s probably for the sake of humor, intentionally overusing said expressions. And the plot, as mentioned above, can be incredibly formulaic. Something goes wrong with filming, usually relating to Mikey, that messes up filming. The characters directly involved try to deal with that problem, usually having two plots going on at the same time which are both solved by the end, which also have the characters learn something about their friend(s) that gives them a better understanding or simply a resolved issue with a whole new outlook. And sometimes, it’s incorporated into the show itself.

So now, it is time for my Final Recommendation: Never Let Go Of It||Get It||Hold Onto It||Try It||Consider It||Stay Away From It

I won’t lie, the show isn’t all that great. But if you enjoy it, you can find it really enjoyable. Surprisingly, it had some good character development, as one episode, A Christmas Mikey, has many characters undergoing character development, with Ozu probably getting most of said development. And the development does stick and is referenced in later episodes.

One thing I would like to mention is that the creators and animators clearly knew a few things about anime, as many background characters reference various anime characters. Not just popular anime like Dragon Ball or Sailor Moon, but even Chobits, InuYasha, and Fullmetal Alchemist, long before the latter really became popular with Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood.

Alright then, I’ll be seeing you guys next month, where I’ll be taking a look at an ongoing web series on YouTube.
