Now true, there is some anime like that. But it's not all that anime is. I find this show absolutely atrocious and to the people who like I just have one thing to ask... HOW?!

Honestly, shows like Kappa Mickey that tried to be Anime felt like they were just jumping on a bandwagon.

It's the same reason why I don't enjoy shows that uses the same kind of not anime but still close enough art style. Could never watch shows like Martin Mystery because of it.

The only quote-unquote pseudo Anime style shows I could get into were Teen Titans and Shaolin Showdown.
I tried to get into a lot of others (Monkey Force, aforementioned Kappa Mikey, Puffy Ami Yumi, etc), but none of them worked or clicked for me.

I like it, it's genuinely fun without being dumbed down for kids, IMO it's pretty good, though I haven't watched that much of it.

Gravity Falls is a great show. I love it. You should definitely check it out.
In the show, the only "Weak points" I can think of are the main character's crush, because it plays out like a typical awkward crush, so those scenes are tired, but the rest of the show is funny, energetic, and great.

I think Pseudo anime's were my entire childhood outside of Ed edd and Eddy and actual anime, shows like Kappa Mikey, Ami Yumi and shaolin showdown were my must watch shows.

Shaolin Showdown and Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go! are like two of my favourite toons.

Kiryu · 08-05-2013, 02:55 PM

I love Xiaolin Showdown and how unpredictable the show could be. I just wish they gave the show more closure because they left it opening for another season that we never got…oh well, there's Xaiolin Chronicles to look forward to at least.

Matrixbeast · 08-05-2013, 02:57 PM

I love Shaolin Showdown, but Hyperforce...I just couldn't get into it, not helped that about 90% of my exposure to it was trying to catch episodes of SPD on Jetix and it was surrounded by an hour long block of Super Robot Monkey Team before and after Power Rangers, all out of order (I know it was out of order since the Black monkey kept changing White in random episodes aired).

Anyway, I'm looking forward to Chronicles, but I do hope they get the original VAs (Or better copies). I love Tara Strong, but her voice does not fit Jack in the slightest.

Wait what this xaolin chronicles
