Kirby: Right Back at Ya!

The japanese version is bland as heck (sorry, 4kids censored this review) , the dub has more style... but it also has kerry williams as tiff. She sounds like someone's comically exaggerated lisa simpson impression, PARTICULARLY of lisa when the show got bad and she became nothing more than a sopboxing witch who called james rolfe sexist for boycotting ghostbusters 2016. In fact, the only reason you can tell apart season 11- lisa simpson and tiff (voicewise, but the yellow skin and aforementioned soapbox addiction ARE suspiciously similar) is because one keeps ranting about dedede! However, ted lewis as dedede and escargoon, Eric stuart as meta knight, and DAN GREEN as customer service (nightmare's salesguy for that "used monster dealership" (as i call it) that's where dedede keeps getting the minibosses), not to mention kirbo himself, are a gem, and the reason to keep watching despite tiff's assault on your eardrums and the usual 4kids idiocy) also, don't look tiff up on deviantart, unless you're actually into/already used to body inflation and bad ocs. (wow. Suprised they didn't catch that one)

It was a good little show. When it aired I was invested, after a while better shows were on, so I watched those instead. It's a good show it just didn't keep me engaged for too long.

That's what it's about- adventures and Kirby. Kirby's cute, illiterate, and dosen't talk much- and usually end up in peril, then sweeps back off and sucks up his foes. That's what people turn in for- just for Kirby. His adventures, and the cuteness of the show.

Based on the Nintendo video game this show takes place on a far away planet called Popstar. Popstar is constantly bombarded by monsters that are ordered by Popstar's ruler King Dedede (pronounced De-De-De).

The monsters are part of an evil corporation called Night Mare Enterprises headed by a figure called NME who is determined to enslave the universe. Popstar's only hope is a Star Warrior who goes by the name of Kirby.

Kirby does come to Popstar but at the wrong time. Kirby is a baby and does not have the fighting experience. To make matter worse Dedede is not found of Kirby and is determined to take out Kirby for good with NME's help. Followers of the Kirby games know that Dedede is the main villian.

However a girl named Tiff who is very strong willed does her best to protect Kirby. She is helped by her brother Tuff (most of the time), and by Meta Knight who is a Star Warrior himself and one of few warriors left after losing to Night Mare Enterprises. Together they help Kirby in perfecting his skills and to be the light of hope to defeat NME.

Kirby for the most part is played of laughs since this show is produced by Nintendo and 4Kids (who also produce Pokemon), but it still good fun. If your fan of the Kirby video game series you might enjoy this fun cartoon show.

It's been so long since I watched this show. It's amazing how nostalgic it is. This is an anime based on the Kirby games. I admit to never having played the games, but I've seen them played plenty of times. It's notable in having the new characters Escargoon, Tiff, and Tuff. I admit it is a bit disappointing how Kirby doesn't talk.

Tiff and Tuff are usually the active ones. To be fair, they are pretty enjoyable characters. I like how the animation style switches with Escargoon, Dedede, and Kirby. I've seen so many bad video game adaptations this really does come out as one of the best. I like the goofy designs of everybody. It's fairly faithful to the franchise and enjoyable. ***1/2
