Hey great video Manuel love kirby u really broke this show down I say the kirby show is a bit mid its a mix bag but I love it
Meta knight sounds more like he's spain than mexican
Kirby it's the name you should know.
MANUEL HI
Great video, Manuel. I recall watching the anime back when I was younger and thought it was okay. I still think that today. As a show, it is decent. Though, as an adaptation, it is kind of a mess.
Kirby being a toddler is weird. He does not feel like the protagonist to their own show. Instead, he feels more like a mascot. Much as I love his voice in the dub, Dedede feels far crueler than he should. At his worst, he is a selfish bully in the games, and even then, he gets his comeuppance. Here, it makes me wonder why there has not been an uprising in Cappy Town. I love Meta Knight in the show, mostly due to his VA in the dub and him being a mentor. Though, he is mostly there for the role of Mr. Exposition. Tiff and Tuff are kinda boring, and Escargoon is there, too.
Going for a blend of 2D animation and CGI could have worked if they were balanced more. Maybe have it be mostly 2D in the show, then go 3D for the transformation sequences. Speaking of which, I love the transformations. They got me hyped when they happened in an action scene.
The show is not the worst, but I do not think I am going back to it anytime soon. The final fight is pretty cool, though.
HE'S COMIN RIGHT, BACK AT YA
Banger per usual
