5.0 out of 5 stars Kirby is a name you should know!, April 12, 2004

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Kirby: Right Back at Ya!: Vol. 1: Kirby Comes to Cappytown (DVD)

All kids will love this fun filled (and action packed) DVD of Kirby! It contains 3 great episodes! Let me remind you, that they don't show reruns of these episodes anymore. A good choice if you really like these eps! Also great for stocking stuffers!

Episode 1: Kirby Comes to Cappytown: A ruthless monster called Octagon raids Cappytown and eats the sheep! The Cappies inform the king along with accusing him of it. Getting no luck with the king, the Cappies seek advice from Kabu. That is when Kirby lands! Can the Cappies find out the mystery of the monster? Is Dedede guilty? All these questions and more answered in the episode!

Episode 2: A BLockbuster Battle: After a light rain shower, Tiff, Tuff, Iro, Honey, and Gangoo realize Kirby needs a place to stay. So, they have Kirby apply to many jobs including a waiter, archaeologist, and a gas pumper. But the crabby bird Tokkori, hired by Dedede, tries to sabotage Kirby in all of his jobs! But Dedede orders a monster to get Kirby out for good? Can Kirby make the job? Is Kirby going to be run out of Cappytown? *Koo, Rick, and Kine make short cameos in this episode*

Episode 3: Kirby's Duel Role: Mr. Mailmen brings Kirby a letter from Meta Knight, challenging him to a duel! Meta Knight takes out his king's orders and nearly sending Kirby to the emergancy room! Dedede finds out Kirby's weakness and orders a monster good with a sword, Bugzy! Kirby's training is put to the test against this swordsman expert!

5.0 out of 5 stars Kirby, Kirby, Kirby it's a name you should now., January 22, 2003

This review is from: Kirby: Right Back at Ya!: Vol. 1: Kirby Comes to Cappytown (DVD)

The Kirby game series on Nintendo has always been one of my favorites and so when I heard that they were planning on making a Kirby anime I was very much looking forward to it.

Of course my biggest fear for was much like all games that they make into animes, was that they would not do the source material justice.

Fortunately the anime does a great job of capturing the feel of the Kirby games. Just like in the games Kirby has the ability to suck up his enemies and absorb their powers. For example the first major enemies Kirby fights is a giant fire breathing Octopus. Kirby beats it by sucking up it's fire and beating it with it's own ability.

And in each episode Kirby will fight a different enemy, some of which will be familiar from the games.

All of the characters in this show you can't help but like even the bad guys. Escargoon, King DeDeDe's minion is one of my favorites because he's such a funny character. Speaking of which, the anime also has a great sense of humor. I found myself laughing quite a bit.

But the best thing of all, is that this show has got was has to be one of the catchiest opening themes I've ever heard. Every time I think of it I want to sing it aloud.

So if you are into the Kirby series like I am or your just looking for a good funny series then you will probably enjoy it. Just a word of warning to all those anime Otaku's out there: You can only watch this anime in English not in Japanese. But the voice acting is fairly decent so it's not much of a problem.

If your kids are anything like mine, they will love it.

An untalkative hero Kirby is, but what he lacks in word power he makes up for in suction power!!

If you've played the game then you'll expect more of the same simple but fun entertainment that the games have given kids in the past. From fresh animation to a catchy theme song, your kids should want to watch this over and over again. (I know I've seen it several times and still enjoy it!)

Hopefully the 2nd DVD will be out soon (Dark and Stormy Knight-?-), but there are some unexpected production delays or something. Kirbykirbykirby.com says it will be soon, but it's been "soon" for several months now and no release date in sight yet....
