Hoshi no Kirby

I still remember watching this in the computer,searching on youtube if there is more episodes of kirby right back at ya! Good times hahahaha.


Yes I did watch the dubbed version of this but I was still kid back then and I get annoyed at subtitles lol.Thinking way back I enjoyed all of the episodes of this show. The funniest is dubbed king dedede,I mean his voice,his accent,It's just perfect hahahahaha.


If you still watch cartoons or just a Kirby fan and If you want more kiddy innocent stories then I recommend this anime to ya'll.



... (First Review By The Way)

(This is my first review.)

I've always really liked the Kirby games, but in most of the games, there isn't really a story and you don't really get to know how the characters act, this show has an actual story and characters with personalities!

At first, I was worried that this show would ruin my opinion of the games, but it just provided some explanations for things and made me really like this whole franchise even more than I used to.

This show's story is mostly just that King Dedede tries to defeat Kirby using the Demon Beasts he orders from Holy Nightmare Co while messing ... with everyone else. Sometimes Dedede doesn't do anything, but it still mainly Holy Nightmare's fault that everyone has problems. There are also the Star Warriors and the Galaxy Soldier Army side ploy which I find really cool and interesting, but I don't want to spoil it for anyone.

This series is sometimes kind of childish, as it is a kid's anime. Though it is also sometimes kind of dark, at least in the japanese version. It's kind of repetitive, but that's kind of the point. xD

I really like the art for this show, it seems well done in my opinion and everything's so colorful and there's so many cute things. They used quite a bit of CE and I think that it's fine mostly, though in my opinion I think it's weird how they made Dyna Blade with CE like that, all the time.

The voice actors in this show are great in the Japanese version, though I dislike a majority of the voices in the English version, mainly Tiff's and Tokkori's, sorry.

The music is awesome. A lot of it is remixes of songs from the games, too. I've always really liked Kirby music, so I can't say no to that and Macho-san's song 'Go Go Heaven', though it was weird, it was very addicting as well.


They've added some new characters in this series, some of them are just temporary, some are side characters, but others are even main characters. Escargon/Escargoon and Customer service, two characters originally from the anime appeared in the game Kirby: Mass Attack.


About the characters though...


There are the Cappies who are the main inhabitants of the village and instead of attacking people and wearing strange mushroom caps and bouncing around like they do in the games, they are somewhat peaceful, civlized people, though they are quite stupid and due to this are manipulated by Dedede often enough in this show.

Kirby is a pink puffball who can copy the abilities of others or of things. He is a Star Warrior. He's confirmed to be a baby in this show, so he can't speak except for the made up word 'Poyo', but that makes him even more likable, since it is pretty cute. Kirby loves eating and sleeping and playing with his friends. He's not the smartest, as seen in many episodes and he gets tricked/ridiculed (mostly by King Dedede) very easily. He's so cute and naive, yet he can fight fiercely whenever needed, often aided by his warp star.

Fumu/Tiff is one of the villagers who is not a Cappy, she is quite compassionate towards others and one of the only smart people in this show and I find myself agreeing with her quite a bit, though sometimes she is kind of naive and gets annoyed easily. She is one of the main characters and usually one of the main reasons why Dedede's plans fail. She is very protective of Kirby and she loves and cares about him and due to that fact, she can control his warp star and calls for it when he needs it most.

Bun/Tuff is Fumu's younger brother. He is like Fumu's opposite, but they still get along well.

King Dedede is an obnoxious, selfish, bratty penguin who always has to get his way. He's always buying new demon beasts/monsters which he uses to try to defeat Kirby, but always fails and ends up with a huge bill for buying the demon beast without looking at the price. He seems to enjoy bullying Escargon.

Escargon is Dedede's sidekick/servant who gets beaten up all the time, yet stays with him.

Meta Knight is the mysterious, smart, awesome knight...guy. He's an experienced Star Warrior who works for King Dedede. He's pretty strong, but he only ever helps Kirby if he REALLY needs it. Oh yeah and his eyes change color depending on his mood, now tell me that isn't awesome.

I think I've explained enough about the characters, moving on.

I generally enjoyed this show A LOT. I love how all the characters act and it's funny to see them interact. It shows how different they all are and I guess I really like that, especially when they try to achieve the same goal, like how Fumu takes care of Kirby and always tries to help him in need and encourage him, yet Meta Knight lets Kirby face the harsh reality and rarely steps in to help, Fumu may call him cold, but they both want the same thing, they want Kirby to grow up enough to become a strong warrior so they can defeat Nightmare.

It teaches a lot of great life lessons, yup. Such as...

Don't kill people's dads...Don't waste food...Slavery is bad...umm...

You get the point, I hope. ^^ Sorry if you don't, I tried.

If you do watch this series, I would recommend watching the Japanese version though. But I couldn't find maybe 10 of the later episodes with subs, or the movie with subs so that might be a problem for those of us who can't speak Japanese, unless you can switch to English.

But, seriously the English version changed many things, including bits of some of the characters' personality and some scenes were deleted and things in general were altered, like instead of there being a Galaxy Soldier Army, all the rebels/army were referred to as Star Warriors, even if they're not Star Warriors. They got rid of most of the original soundtrack, which was really nice and there were lots of remixes of songs from the games. Also, I found some of the English voices annoying, but that's my opinion. I'm sure there are some things I've missed, these are just examples.

I don't know what else to say, if it wasn't clear, I like this show a lot.

Story/Characters (7/10): This show is a show aimed at kids. It has an easy an simple plot that anyone can follow. Kirby, a pink (alien?) star warrior crash lands on the planet of Pop Star. There he befriends the citizens of Cappy Town and defends them from monsters that their king, King Dedede, sends to kill Kirby.
The characters are very likable. Tiff and Toff are Kirby's best friends who will always look out for him. King Dedede is a funny yet foolish villain whose reasons for antagonising Kirby are like that of Lex Luthor's hatred of Superman. And lastly, Meta Knight, the coolest character in ... the whole show. He is the dark, quite, mysterious knight who works for the king but will help Kirby whenever he gets the chance.

Art/Animation (8.5/10): The art is modern. The show often uses bright colors to emphasize Cappy Town as a peaceful and happy place. The show was animated with CGI. The CGI was fluid and worked well with the 2D artwork but there were some scenes where the CGI failed to render properly.

Sound/Music (8.5/10): The sound/music were good. All of the sounds were used well and the music was cheery and happy. I also found the theme song to be enjoyable.

Dub or Sub?: Both. The American and Japanese voice actors did a wonderful job at dubbing the show, especially the Japanese voice actors.

Enjoyment/Summary/Overall (7.5/10): In my youth, I enjoyed the show as much as the next kid. The story was easy to follow. The art and sound were bright and cheerful. The characters were lovable. The plot holes and twists were at a minimum.
