[@murruelaflaga]

I loved Kirby Right Right Back at Ya. It was a simple yet great show. This show and Sonic Underground were just some of my favourites to watch on a Saturday morning.

[@spookychords4925]

I'm a preschool teacher and my younger sister (who is 27) gave me her plush kirby because she doesn't want it in her room anymore. I put kirby in my classroom and it's kind of interesting being the one to introduce who/what kirby is to 4 year olds who don't know what it is. For my class, kirby is a stress relieving toy, a toy plush to play with, a toy that watches the class to see if they are behaving, etc.

[@positivepixie8676]

[@Pikminer-5087]

Fun fact: Escargoon's only game appearance was a cameo in a subgame in Kirby Mass Attack. I hope we get a dub blu ray of the show someday.

[@yoda908]

I cannot see it not getting a blu ray English Dub complete collection version. The show is way too popular, and it already got an English Dub release on DVD. I would say sometime next year or within a couple of years. It can take time to dub shows.

[@hervygervy8530]

It does exist, although only in Japan

[@josepbuigues1336]

I'd like that. Blu-ray collection to maybe they can do a fandom and use the dub from the original anime. We have so far two cover over it?

[@citrus_yellow]

Maybe it's cuz some people would want a uncut release with JPmusic instead of the original 4Kids dub but most of the VAs are likely off doing something else or in Chef Kawasaki's case, dead.

[@henryfreed-fundak5861]

I love this show's animation. It has very impressive CGI effects that you really didn't see in anime back in the day. It was really ahead of it's time.

[@shonenbois]

King Dedede really did steal the show bc he was such a lovable jerk but moments where he actually showed to care for Kirby were really wholesome moments in the show

This show meant SO MUCH to me as a kid. It got me through so much hardship in my life at the time. Hell, because of this show, I checked out the games, and fell in love with them too. Now I'm in my 30s, and Kirby is still my favorite character in anything ever. Just looking at him makes me so happy.

[@joshuageorge2507]

I would do anything for this show to make a come back. Literally my childhood

[@gammafrost]

I was so damn obsessed with playing Kirby air ride as a kid with my cousin. It was so damn fun not to mention the handheld games.

[@hellomynameisrodney]

The only Kirby thing I own is a non-licensed magnet that says "Eat The Rich"

[@Gfreak250]

I think the best thing about this series is the fact that the main threat is Nightmare Enterprises, or NME. In other words, the main threat is literally called "Enemy" which is such a fantastic pun.

[@fantasy873]

I revisited this show a couple years back because I had vague memories of it from when I was little and what sold it for me was the fact that they gave Metaknight a spanish accent. I got the most enjoyment from that accent alone and what made it even better was that you never knew when he was going to show up! It was perfect! Also I'm seriously considering buying the series boxset if and when it hits my part of the US.

[@ShadowSorel]

the accent was so iconic, even his smash bros VA gave him one.

[@JadeTheProtogen1]

And you knew he meant business when he showed up because he. *insert guitar here* he had a theme tune that played whenever he appeared.

[@Hugelag]

I've got a part of my brain that dedicated to remembering Kirby: Right Back at ya.

[@RoninCatholic]

Makes a lot of sense, given your avatar.

[@diabeticman2194]

Kirby Right Back at Ya!? genuinely has one of my favourite theme songs of any cartoon/anime out there, absolute jazz banger!

[@lesterwilliamsjr649]

It's ironic to think that despite being pink and cute Kirby still feels like a character boys and girls can like equally.

[@beccacroce7380]

I get a similar feeling about Steven Universe.

[@ZEK-ROM]

​@@beccacroce7380 😂

[@anonofanon]

@@ZEK-ROM yup...

[@matthewkuscienko4616]

I believe it's because of the action elements in the games and anime that let Kirby draw in fans of both genders despite being cute and pink, which would normally be associated with being girly. It also probably helps that his ability to transform into multiple different new forms that give him a wide array of powers and, being a fairly gender neutral design despite being cute and pink helps to balance these elements out in my opinion

[@ceeemgee03]

Yeah, men enjoy his versatility and immense power, while women love his cuteness and demeanor. And it’s all wrapped in a simple, inoffensively designed character who doesn’t even talk. Kirby is basically the closest we get to character perfection.

[@ryninja5788]

This show was my childhood. Also dedede will always be a gem

[@letsgobrandon1906]

I would like to imagine everyone remembers this Kirby. Im not even into gaming and this show was a classic

[@QueSeraSeraaaa]

It's retro for me. ^^

[@ghostsurfer23]

The one-two-three punch of Melee, this, and Kirby's Air Ride really cemented my love for Kirby as a kid. I love the malleability of his powers. Any medium with superpowers in it, I always gravitate towards characters whose power is something to do with superpowers itself. Stealing powers, boosting powers, negating powers. And yes, copying powers. Kirby was likely a big contributor to that, now that I think about it. I never had an N64 growing up, but I have really fond memories of watching my friend play Kriby and the Crystal Shards, and it's still one of my favorite games of all time today.

[@ludicrouslunatic]

This show is very special to me. A lot of my growth as a writer + artist came from creating fan works for this series! I haven't had the inspiration lately, but I hope one day I can finish one of the stories I've been chipping away at for years lol

[@mjdjoy]

4kids King Dedede voice actor is still my head canon

[@Blu_Moon_Owl]

Like others said who couldn’t forget this. What was also new is it one of some animated shows that had a definitive ending. No sudden cancellation or abrupt end. It just ended in a satisfying end

[@Yundemz]

Watching this show as someone who had actually been playing Kirby games before hand was such a surreal experience.

[@thachocolategod]

Kirby is just the best. I'm glad he's getting a little bit of an upsurge in popularity.

[@littlefox_100]

I wasn't born when this show aired, but thanks to youtube yes, i do remember this show. It was fun bingeing it a few years back

[@blanketman6470]

10:14 Funny thing is when it premiere on kidswb i had soccer practice in the morning so i asked and reminded my parents (mostly my dad since he was gonna be home during that time) to record the special and lucky for me he was able to and except for the first ten minutes due to some issue with the recorder but was still glad he did, not to mention it record all the old commercials that showed that time 😂

I loved this show! This and Kirby Triple Star Deluxe are what got me into the Kirby games! Also I found out Nightmare is voiced by Andrew Rannells

[@SheepHead6]

One of my most fond memories of my childhood was actually renting the Fight to the Finish on my local redbox by my McDonald’s I watched it so much so this series will always have a special place in my heart

[@castform7]

I ate this show UP as a kid. I was (and still am) a big Kirby fan so giving me an entire show to watch was basically trying to hold my attention hostage. Upon rewatching a good amount of episodes I still feel like it holds up. I do have some issues like the star warrior lore not being as fleshed out as I thought it could've been and Kirby feeling a lot more like a background character until the monster showed up despite being the title character but overall still a charming show I hold dear to me. Also nothing will ever come close to the masterpiece that was 4KIDS Dedede. He was the true star of the show or should I say "king of the show".

[@TheDjdeath45]

Ah yes, the theme song that will never ever leave my head

[@patcahill3724]

This show is truly a classic gem.

[@TagartTalking]

I watched this show for the first time this year and somehow I'm already nostalgic for it!

[@JadeTheProtogen1]

What did you watch it on? Also is it the original or the dub that 4kids made that removes or replaces a lot of things? Like kirby mixing up some alcohol or using an uzi? Or king dedede using an actual freaking chainsaw and not a laser!

[@LazyTallGuy]

I grew up with Kirby and then when I saw the show it got me automatically obsessed with the GBA game that came out. Revived him for me.

[@tuna2playsgames237]

I could never forget about the Kirby show I was even thinking about watching the rest of the episodes soon everything about Kirby is awesome of the video games, The show, The characters and the actors! I can even remember the whole entire lyrics of right back at ya and most of the characters too, This show just brings out a lot of happiness and funny and special moments for me, This show for me will be remembered for a long time as a kid classic and as a awesome memory of mine Kirby is indeed the one!

[@SapphireTheArtist2002]

As a massive Kirby fan, I’ve watched this show multiple times back in 2017-2018. Watched the English dub first, then the original Japanese with English subtitles. Loved both of them. Made a ton of fan art during those years too. My favorite character was (and still is) Escargon/Escargoon. I just have a lot of fun memories with this show and I occasionally still draw the characters from it. Awesome video reminding me about one of my favorite shows! 😉

I love this show. I always come back to this show just to watch it to make me feel good, it's my comfort show seeing Kirby and his friends go in these little wacky adventures with these monsters of the week.

I remember watching this show a ton when I was younger during the original run.

It’s such a fun time watching, and hearing familiar voices like Mike Pollock (Eggman) just makes me chuckle lol.

How can I forget this show. In fact, I only started watching it last year while getting into Kirby. The Japanese version in case you're wondering.

[@taejasper1343]

Thanks, Jordan, for covering yet another 4Kids TV gem, bro! I owe you one, man! This was my childhood back in the day! And I'm trying not to sound old, but yeah, I really love the series and I really do hope that due to the success of the Mario movie this year, that Nintendo do the same for Kirby and give the series a big fully CGI feature film from Illumination and make it apart of an NCU (Nintendo Cinematic Universe) and even have it include a Metroid movie, too! That'd be sweet to see and even F-Zero could get a chance for redemption with a movie as well! There's just so many possibilities! It's so amazing and I love it!

[@BlueAmpharos]

2:51 He was the end boss in one game. In the game he wanted to spread nightmares with the fountain of dreams... which doesn't even exist in the anime. In the anime he's an intergalactic owner of a mega corporation bent on ruling the galaxy. Now, I can see why they didn't go with Dark Matter because they wanted to appeal to kids, and a demon that just wants to spread nightmares and nothing more is a bit less interesting than an intergalactic mega corporation but... it still always bugged me. I feel like there's so much more to the Kirby lore than there was back then though, and so many possibilities of something they could explore if anyone decides to make a Kirby series again and maybe delve deeper into, while still being canonical to the games or at least not contradicting the canon.
