The Kappa Mikey “Clip of the Week” features hilarious content from the breakout Nicktoons Network hit animé comedy series about a struggling American actor-turned-Japanese animé star. The show is MTV Networks' first global acquisition and is the first anime show created and produced in the U.S. and not in Asia. The 52-episode series is written like a sitcom and the story is a show-within-a-show. Each episode takes place on and off the set of LilyMu, a fictional Japanese TV series starring once-struggling American actor, Mikey Simon, as he adjusts to his new role as “Kappa Mikey,” the biggest animé star Japan has ever seen. With its distinct style -- a combination of American and Japanese animation styles -- Mikey, drawn in thick-lined Pop Graphic style, is the only character on the show not depicted in animé. The series contains many pop-culture references and jokes for kids and adults alike.
