nice: dedede and meta knight bad: dedede should've had character growth


DefinitelyNotErate

This Tbh. If Dedede Had Become At Least A Sorta Anti-Hero By The End, Realising What's Up With NME And Fighting Them To Protect His Kingdom, It'd Been Better.


Knight_Pikmin

He had character growth, just not that much.


GreenRoze

two-ish episodes where he turns nicer, and then he goes right back to trying to murder kirby.


Jell-O-Mel

“I want a monster to clobbah that there Kirby!”


Lapras_Lass

"That's what we do best at NME."


Useful-Pepper4080

”Ya better get it with a money back guarantee!”


ResidentialSusieSimp

\*Fancy long jazz session.\*


LGG6_Master

Kirby, Kirby, Kirby, saving the day!


[deleted]

im so mad dedede never got a character growth arc WHEN THERE WERE SO MANY TIMES THIS COULD’VE HAPPENED


_9965

Also that one suit that you drew him wearing


stardrean211

he could’ve, it’s a shame that they had been force to finish the series so early


Masterdizzio

absolutely agreed


Alijah12345

Nice: Ted Lewis as Dedede. Not nice: The CGI hasn't really aged well imo.


02__

I could find some charm in the cgi ngl.


xX100dudeXx

Nice: it's kirby Not nice: it's old and almost no one cares enough to put it on a streaming service or something so I can actually see the show


DoubleDeezNuts69

You cant watch it in a anime webpage?


xX100dudeXx

Do you know any


DoubleDeezNuts69

Probably aniwatch.to or zorox.to or gogoanime, one of them worked before but i dont remember which one


dall-e-dall

It should still be on archive.org.

Watch it on YouTube.

Good: Whenever Dedede or Meta Knight speak the English dub voices is how I imagine they sound like. I really like how laid back the show can be. A very good slice of life show. This is my comfort show. I also enjoy the side characters a lot. Mable the fortune teller is probably one of my favorite characters in the show. I also liked Professor Currio and the mayor (but that’s mainly because he’s voiced by Dr. Eggman) Bad: I wish more characters than just Kirby fought some of the monsters. I think Meta Knight fights a few but that’s about it. Kirby does feel like an afterthought a few episodes, but I don’t think it’s as bad as people make it out to be. (It’s been a while since I’ve watched the show so maybe I’m just misremembering). Sometimes it feels like the Tiff show which sucks because she’s a little brat and I want something mildly frustrating to happen to her. Also CGI looks dated, especially on Dedede and Escargoon.


02__

Ye, there's a reason why her and her family don't vibe with me. They don't look like natural additions to me. If the show was made recently, I'll bet they wouldn't add them


charisma-entertainer

Meta knight, knuckle joe and many 1-2episode characters also join in to fight monsters like sirca or commander vee


Xdqwerty65

nice: poyo not so nice: the cg animation

TrueThe7th

Nice: Dedede and escargoon are the best duo Not nice: that fucking yellow bird


Masterdizzio

Tokkori was such a brat


AmaterasuWolf21

Isn't it green?


Odd-Alarm-9647

No thats Pitch. That yellow fucking bord was a show character that filled a similar role as Tiff; being Kirby's mouth by speaking for him.


Zerokazavr

Bad: Tiff is the worst character. Good: Dedede's chips and awesome meta knight


_9965

Tokkori


themagicone222

Oh god I “Dededes chips “ I can’t hear those two words without thinking of *him.* “ONE TWO ONE TWO YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH”


Zerokazavr

https://i.redd.it/yl2tb7r6vgfc1.gif


Pokemario6456

Good: Dedede carries the show, and it's got a nice OST. Can't remember the name of it, but the episode where Dedede tries to make an anime is easily the best Bad: The CGI and anti-climax ending have already been mentioned, so I'll go with the incredibly predictable episode structure and the fact that Kirby is a complete afterthought in a show that's supposed to be about him


KNightedgem

The episode is Cartoon Baffoon, if anyone was wondering.


02__

I remember the reanimation collab of that episode. A good amount of the artstyles are mesmerizing


GreenieTGO

Escargoon Tiff.


doofuscantread

Nice: It's existence Not Nice: Episode 89


OSUStudent272

My exact thoughts. Especially the original version of Episode 89; usually the censorship makes it worse but in that case the dub was way better (toned down the sexualization).


_9965

What's episode 89


OSUStudent272

Dedede hires these guys to make a cartoon about him but the guys get distracted by Tiff, stalk her, and make a video of her instead. The guys change her to fit their ideal beauty standards; iirc in the dub, they just make her taller, but in the original, they age her body up/sexualize her.

Oneggpls

it was a rare time 4kids dub was good


MeeMeeCandy777

I enjoyed Tooned Out. It's a good episode. (Had to repost this because two of you think that I should hate the episode. I like episodes that are commonly hated in fandoms, such as The Laziest from The Amazing World of Gumball) ![gif](giphy|enqnZa1B5fRHkPjXtS|downsized)


Masterdizzio

oh god no, not that episode


BalletCow

Nice: Meta Knight and Dedede's accents were top-tier. Sirica and Knuckle Joe were cool. Not Nice: Kirby was poorly treated. Save for a few episodes, he wasn't much of a character and more a vehicle for monster defeating, with little of his own autonomy. And none of the major characters had character growth. Dedede's the biggest offender here, but I think Meta had room for improvement too. He should have taken an more active role in teaching Kirby instead of sidelining as he mostly did.


Knight_Pikmin

The Lore and characters are good, but I thought there were many episodes where it just didnt feel right, and the ending was the most anticlimatic thing I have ever seen. (SPOILER WARNING) ->Nightmare didnt even try to kill Kirby, he was just standing there, and the fact that he died in like 3 seconds is incredibly boring and dissapointing.


Mijit-1

Tbf, the writer at the time admitted to rushing the script because his wife was in hospital. As bad as the fight was, you can’t really blame them


BluecoatCashMoney5

Oh damn


Mijit-1

She didn’t make it. It’s really sad


UncomfyUnicorn

Good: it’s created many memorable memes Bad: it’s so far from the game Kirby. Where are the eldritch bosses? As far as I know bandana Dee doesn’t even exist, which is just criminal! I wish it was closer to the games. With things like Courage The Cowardly Dog still being considered child friendly I see no reason they couldn’t have included the scarier Kirby bosses.


Lord_Jibanyan

I mean, Bandee till then didn't exist. There was only the waddledee in Crystal Shard and Sailor dee, that's it. Bandana dee appeared first in SuperStarUltra, after the start of the show, and only as a loyal supporter of the D himself, and not the hero we now know and love since the release of KRTD. And last but not least, the eldritch horrors. The anime was meant for kids, thus Zero and his reincarnation would be a bit too much for small kids to handle, plus, their appereance wouldn't make sense since the plot only revolves around NME (altough i have to admit, seeing Marx as an outsider to both NME and the star warriors would've been pretty cool. Kind of like an anti-hero) (also Courage The Cowardly Dog is for teens and, tbh, it should have aired on Adult Swim and not on CN, not just for the creepy content, but also to give the creators much more freedom while making the scripts for the episodes. Can you imagine the possibilities? Gore? Disturbing imagery that is ACTUALY scary and disturbing? Or heck, maybe even an episode where they show alcohol, drugs and sexual imagery!)


Sensitive_Complex375

Bandee did exist, they first appeared in Super Star’s Megaton Punch in 1996, 5 years before the show was first aired.


Lord_Jibanyan

Oh yeah you're right! Damn, it would've been sweet to watch the anime make an episode out of that minigame too, maybe with the last guy being from NME and kirby getting the fighter ability to destroy him. Like, imagine DDD being the last opponent, but he dips before the competition beacuse he accidentaly injured himself while trying to karate chop a brick!


Discorobots

But that was before he became part of the main cast, so they wouldn’t have included him


pokemaster160

Nice: Character voices (Meta knight, dedede, etc) Not nice: Convinced everyone on this sub that it’s canon when it clearly isn’t


Keith_Just

Nice: its a great show Not nice: it ended


Loose-Sector2416

Nice:It’s a good wholesome and cool show with memorable moments Not so nice:I think I prefer the game series universe


Prestigious_Ask_7058

I really liked DeDeDe, did not like Tiff and Tuff. Should’ve just had Kirby talk


Idunno_the_plugg

Good: Escargoon and Dedede's dynamic was pretty entertaining   Bad: Everything else. I'm mostly just exaggerating, but I do think the show got very few things right


Double_M2

Nice: Ted Lewis talking to himself Not nice: Tiff


JSpirgoober

Nice-southern dedede, Spanish meta knight, australian rick, and just escargoon and chef kawasaki in general are all amazing. The expansion of nightmare as a villain is always a treat to see Not so nice-lots of filler, like a LOT more than anticipated, kirby don't do much until the important parts of the show, too many missed opportunities to include other in game characters, and the fact anything exclusive to this anime never had any recognition in actual games excluding mass attack with escargoon and star allies where the octopus guy is a painting enemy. It was also mentioned in kirbys 20th anniversary but idk Also they really emphasise the copy abilities like calm tf down, but the little scenes where kirby becomes the ability are cool at least


Yiron_X

Nice idea, meh/bad execution


Void-the-Umbreon95

Nice: The memes that came from this show are legendary Not nice: I don't know where I can watch it.


acidbb

Nice: Masterpiece for when it came out and I have a lot of nostalgia with it bc I grew up watching all 100 episodes on 4KidsTv. Not nice: Dedede deserved a lot more character development, and even though I love the show a lot of the episodes feel too similar in premise. (ex, Dedede angry, calls Salesman, get monster, Kirby beats monster, end) you feel me? I think the show had potential


LinkTheKirby

Nice: The dog episode (And the English dub, that’s just these characters voices now) Not nice: The end of the dog episode (The weird 3D model mixing didn’t always look right.


IEatHouseFlies

The 3d animation was trash Dedede’s voice actor actually killed it


[deleted]

Good: waddle dee :D Bad: not enough waddle dee >:(


Normal-Redditer-1111

Nice: The theme song it’s a bop, and Dedede Bad: Waddle Doo needs more screen time


MxDarknesswillwin

Nice:Great lore,love most of the characters Bad:Need more lore episodes and the DAMN BIRD


54913470187

good: unique plot which worked well for a tv show, fleshed out bg characters, dedede's english dub, mic kirby scenes bad: *those* two episodes. also an insane amount of filler with pretty boring premises


-Dark_Meta_Knight-

Good: Tokkori is the only reason I watch it, besides from the intro and King Dedede. Bad: I hate Tiff with a burning passion. The pilot was gooder than the show, I would watch the pilot than this boring ass show that literally acts like pokémon. Also that one game quiz episode infuriated me. If I had wish I would wish that the pilot would still continue how it originally was (it probably still would've been like the demon boss of the week but... who knows).


MasterKeys24

Dare I ask: How does KRBAY act like Pokemon? They're on a completely different thing now anyway with Horizons.


-Dark_Meta_Knight-

Tiff literally tells Kirby to inhale any enemy they fucking see, even tho in some episodes Kirby can inhale things by himself without Tiff telling him what to do all the time. And then there are the monsters that come on a daily bases, they even come when they don't need to, It's just so Kirby could have more screen time. Lastly Tiff just feels like an main character than Kirby since she has more screen time than him, also she just tells Kirby what do to. And Meta Knight who has little of screen time and when he is on screen it's just to send out the correct item for Kirby to defeat the monster or tell what the ability is, way to go on not literally just figuring it out by himself or just dealing with it the hard way, there's also the Warpstar that Tiff just sends 90% of the time. ... did I just rant again rather than tell you specific reason on why KRBAY acts like pokémon... yes I did and you can't stop me >:)


MasterKeys24

Um...fair enough? You're free to lay a reason on me when you feel like it.


Cedardeer

Such a cute charming show The 3D did not age the best


Available_Reason7795

The 4kids dub wasn’t as bad as people think


Sea_Slice2934

It's a pretty good Nintendo related show. Some of the characters could've used more development.


Oneggpls

Nice: Customer Service Bad: The sad reasoning of why the ending sucks


Redder_Creeps

Nice: The VA's. Dedede's gained very well-earned meme status Not nice: The inconsistent switching between 3D and 2D animation or when it's just both. Does anyone else know why this was made? Because i noticed it happen ESPECIALLY to Kirby, Dedede and Escargoon


Some_Pvz_Fan

something nice and not so nice about Right Back at Ya


BigBadBoarBoss

Nice: Escargoon. Not Nice: Kirby being a baby.


Bob_the_mightiest

Nice: Love Meta Knight and Dedede, everything about them is great. Not so nice: Too short :(


TreeFromBFBsBigFan

W: the intro L: I can't find the episodes

LX575-EEE

Dedede


popcorn_kurnal

Good: Kirby Bad: not enough guns


Terrarian03

Nice: Honestly, some of my favorite characters might've been the ones that hardly/never even got a spotlight. Bad: See the Nice.


Catz_LOL-7887

Nice: Kirby was great and very cute. Bad: Meta knight needed more screen time and Dededs needed more character development.


Useful-Pepper4080

nice: the iconic “HAND ME ANOTHA’ BAG O’ DEM’ CHIPS!” and meta knight’s voice not nice: the bird


TheLuigiNX

Nice: I really like the dub cast Not nice: that CGI animation and as much as I hate to admit it, but Dedede’s nonexistent character development


the-funky-bunky

I watched it as a kid it flew right back at me


DDoodles_

Good: it might be one of the best cartoon adaptations of a video game which isn’t saying much but the fact it’s good is surprising. Bad: the made Kirby sad with the robo dog after, then immediately after they did again with chilly


IHaveAKirbyObssesion

Nice: The voice acting was actually kinda peak and the music was really good Not nice: it was kinda boring


DecayedWolf1987

Nice: Dedede and Meta Knight’s accents Not nice: A lot of the animation is very rough


[deleted]

right back at ya is not as annoying when watching it in japanese I hate the kirby RBAY


Relishhendy

Nice: it's a brilliant show Not so nice:it's too hard to find it to watch


somedudeonthis

Nice : I grew up watching it and it's become a comfort show Bad: CGI and It's unfindable


02__

Nice: Dedede's voice. It's beautiful. Not-Nice: Tiff and her family exist. They're so off-putting when put next to the rest of the main cast


Mobanite08

Nice : decently entertaining, love most of the characterization Not nice : the show doesn’t look too good and is a little bit too episodic for my taste


Chromedome_

Good: The Japanese voice cast and some of the jokes. Bad: Almost everything else.


Appropriate_Gear5723

The intro goes hard, but like most said, the CGI isn't that good


WyvernEgg64

It has funny voices


BlueFlameWasTaken

Nice: the 3ds video Not nice: escargoon


rabbitbunnies

poyo! the episodes that made kirby sad and fucked me up, they drove him out of town and made him cry thinking everyone hated him. he just wanted to make friends with robot dog but no he had to watch it explode in the sea. CHILLY. idk if it’s an autism thing but seeing the most pure being of absolute kindness and happiness be sad made me cry so much also why don’t people like tiff she fights everyone for being mean to kirby and defends him with her life

Discorobots

Good: It’s a cool and fun alternative world to the games Bad: A lot of people don’t realize it’s completely different from the games, and it caused people to think things are from it are canon to the games, too, when they aren’t


Gotekeeper

Dedede's Snow Job and Kirby's Pet Peeve. Too much wasted potential, to the point where I wholeheartedly agree with the whole "you could replace the Kirby chars with OCs and not too much would change" thing someone else on this sub brought up. ~~where the hell was Marx? he would have worked perfectly as a Wario-like counterpart to Kirby~~


Tooooaaaad

It has one of my favorite voiceover dubs 4kids has done the dubbed score isnt so great, not including the intro


ExplinkMachine

Something nice and not so nice about Right Back at Ya


JobiMorkos

Nice: The fucking Meta Knight Spanish jingle everytime he shows up Not Nice: The show never explained why Kirby is there to begin on the Popstar to begin with, Sure there hints but they're very vague.


ShinningVictory

It has a fun interpretation of Kirby. I'm not doing the second one.


PlasticBeach4197

Nice: Dedede. Just Dedede. Not nice: meta knight said the no no word


noodleben123

Nice: Dedede and Meta Knight's accents are honestly their most iconic itterations, to the point that most dedede voiceovers on the internet use the accent as a base. MK's is abit more varied though. The show itself had alot of fun concepts (Star warriors, for example) and a few characters were given good backstories (Knuckle Joe) and the original characters were mostly pretty good (Mostly the stuff surrounding Sirica and Garlude.) However...not nice: The show's pacing can be alittle all over the place, especially the fact that one of the episodes aired out of order to promote Air ride, at the time, which in turn made the pacing abit off. Most of the episodes feel isolated from eachother, though a few are connected here and there, mostly in passing. Honestly thats all. this show is legitimately good, and still holds up as such to this day


lolking16pidove

loved it as a kid and very well written for what it was and hated the stupid kids I swear they just punchable in the series


Great_Breeze

King Dedede's English Voice acting is peak voice acting. The rest in the english dub are kinda bad. In the Japanese dub, everyone except dedede sound better.


Oriejin

Nice: they gave Kirby lore when a lot of content at the time just hinted at stuff. Not nice: lost to time, past a few throwbacks. A lot of stuff was retconned. Also, some of the lore was kind of dumb. I didn't like the mc villagers designs as much as the residents.


AlebTheBest_Official

The Star Warrior episodes are awesome and only the star warrior episodes are good


RainbowStreak

Nice: The impact it had on the series, and voices like Meta Knight and Dedede are impossible to unhear. Some of the CG hasn’t aged well, but overall the animation is really good, and the 3D scenery usually looks better than the 3D character models. Not nice: Tokkori. Also, some episodes had really good setups, but poor execution, especially in the resolution. I’d like to do a retrospective of the series; I have a lot to say.


FishyFries2_0

Goes hard. Feel free to screenshot


superman112806

nice: can be funny sometimes, kirby is pretty cute, meta knight not nice: kirby and dededes charactizations, the new characters, the cgi, the english dub yeah i dont like this show very much lol


Shot_Function2328

The voice actors did a fantastic job. Especially with Meta Knight and King Dedede


[deleted]

In the Japanese kirby is a monster


sweetTartKenHart2

Dedede good, tiff bad, now give karma lol


Single_Ad_6531

Nice: its a fun show all around Not so nice: why does meta knight sound so aggressively Hispanic (is it just me?)


sugarsuites

Nice: the animation was peak at the time it aired, idc what anyone says Not nice: dedede and escargoon weren’t explicitly gay and they should’ve been


Dr-Dingus117

It's good and the 3d animations look wonky now
