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)
I'd always enjoyed the Kirby games, but in many of the games, there isn't really a sense of community and the characters don't tend to speak that much. This show has a world full of goofy characters with personalities! At first, I was worried that this show would taint my opinion of the games, but it provided some explanations for things and made me like this franchise even more than I used to. Plot (7/10 - Good): This show has a very episodic formula and the plot is typically just that King Dedede tries to defeat Kirby using the Demon Beasts he orders from Holy NightmareCo/Nightmare Enterprises (in the dub) while messing with everyone else in Cappy Town. Sometimes Dedede doesn't do anything, but it still mainly Holy Nightmare's fault that anyone has problems at all. Still, I found it a fun series and they always managed to keep things interesting. There are also the Star Warriors and the Galaxy Soldier Army side plot who had some sort of war where they tried to rebel against Nightmare, but most died or went into hiding, which I found cool. Although most of the history with that isn't touched upon that deeply. This series can be quite childish, as it is a kid's anime. Though it can sometimes be kind of dark/serious, at least in the japanese version. 4kids censored most of the darker moments in the dub and added a bunch of wacky music. Art (5/10 - Average) I enjoy the cheerful artstyle of this show. It seems decent in my opinion. Everything's colorful and there's so many cute things. The animation isn't that exceptional or fluid. It has definitely aged somewhat. There are segments where they used quite a bit of CGI/CE 3d effects and I think that it's fine mostly, but that's where its age definitely shows the most. In my opinion it's weird how they made Dyna Blade literally always 3d, she doesn't look too good ngl. Sound (7/10 - Good ((scored for the Japanese version))): The voice actors in this show are great in the Japanese version, though I dislike a majority of the voices in the English version. They express emotion well and Meta Knight sounds badass, you could forget you're watching Kirby lol. Southern Dedede is a classic and pretty hilarious I must admit even as a sub watcher. He's like Foghorn Leghorn, but raspier and a penguin. Fake Hispanic Meta Knight makes me cringe I'm sorry, especially with that knock-off Zorro music they added in. But I may be biased, I've gotta admit I do dislike how campy 4kids' voice acting/added soundtracks are most of the time, especially after seeing the Japanese. Tiff and Tokkori, the bird guy sounded really annoying especially from what I've heard of them in English. The music of the Japanese version is great. A lot of it is remixes of classic songs from the games, too. I've always really liked Kirby soundtracks. I can't say no to that and that weird-ass "Macho-san" weight loss song "Go Go Heaven", though it was weird, it was catchy af. Characters (6/10 - Fine): They've added some exclusive characters in this series. Some of them are just temporary one-offs, some are side characters, but others are even main characters. (Escargon/Escargoon and Customer service, two characters originally from the anime actually later appeared in the game Kirby: Mass Attack though as a cameo though which is pretty nifty.) About the characters though: There are the Cappies who are the main inhabitants of the town and instead of attacking people and wearing strange mushroom caps and bouncing around like they do in the games, they are a 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 he's pretty cute. He seems to understand others just fine despite not being able to speak though. Kirby loves eating, sleeping and playing with his friends. He's not the smartest and is quite naive, being a baby, as seen in many episodes where he gets tricked/ridiculed (mostly by King Dedede) very easily. He's cute, yet he can fight fiercely whenever needed, often aided by his warp star and copy abilities. Fumu/Tiff is one of the villagers who is not a Cappy. She is quite compassionate towards others and one of the few of average intellect to smart in this show so I found myself agreeing with her quite a bit. Although sometimes she is also naive and gets annoyed easily, being a child. 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 loves and cares about him. 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, being brash and generally quite dumb, but they still get along well. King Dedede is a spoiled, selfish, bratty penguin who always has to get his way. He's always buying new demon beasts/monsters for his amusement 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 despite him being his most loyal lackey. Escargon is Dedede's sidekick/servant who gets beaten up all the time, yet stays with him. He seems to care a lot about his king and is very loyal, he will also happily join him in pestering others. Meta Knight is the mysterious, cool-headed knight guy. He's an experienced Star Warrior who works for King Dedede, but will disobey orders when they're utter bullcrap. 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 sick. The main cast generally have an interesting dynamic and there's plenty of conflict and bumps in the road to spice things up. All in all though, there isn't much to write home about. The characters have basic personality traits and not a whole lot of depth to them, but that suits Kirby just fine. Some of the plots in this show teach lots of great life lessons btw, yup. Such as... Don't kill people's dads...Don't waste food...and slavery is bad. :) If you watch this series, I would recommend watching the original Japanese version. But I personally couldn't some of the later episodes with subs since these are all fansubbed and there was never an official subbed release like newer anime tend to get so that might be a problem for those of us who can't speak Japanese, unless you can switch to English and deal with that change for some episodes at the end. But yeah... the English version changed many things including: bits of some of the characters' personality, some scenes that were deleted or heavily altered (like the reference to the movie Psycho in the Halloween episode lol) and things in general that were altered Like instead of there being a rebel "Galaxy Soldier Army", all the rebels/army were unanimously referred to as Star Warriors, even if they're not Star Warriors. May be a nitpick, but Star Warriors were seemingly supposed to be great warriors with lots of power and higher up ranks, rather than just any generic soldier. They got rid of most of the original soundtrack, which was really nice as there were lots of remixes of songs from the games. Also, I found many of the English voices annoying, but that's my opinion. Edit (2023): I enjoyed this show a lot as a kid. The original version of this review was actually written by twelve year old me growing up in foster care and I have tried to keep the original "feelings" intact even having come back to edit this to an extent so it's on the same level as future reviews. I hope you guys enjoyed reading this review though and have a nice day.
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 inthe 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. Review #4
This is my first review, so it may not be that good. Kirby: Right Back at Ya! is a decent anime, which is pretty different to the games, despite them being about Kirby. The anime has lots of characters and monsters that do not appear in the games, so if you want to watch something with lots of different monsters, then this is for you. The story of Kirby: Right Back at Ya! is ok. The problem with the story is that once you have watched the first few episodes, then it is just like that for the rest of the anime; King Dedede andEscargoon trying to get rid of Kirby. It is very predictable, and has almost the exact same plot for every episode. The story is not bad, but it isn't good either. The art is nice. This anime has lots of creative monsters that have been designed very well. The characters are well designed too, even though Kirby is a round ball which is straight forward to draw. Kirby: Right Back at Ya! also has decent effects which give you different feelings as you watch. The sounds are actually quite good. The music that goes on during the episodes is quite catchy and suits the event that happens at the time. Something that I really like about the sound is that every character has different music that plays every time they appear in an episode. I especially like Meta Knight's guitar. The characters are great! They are well designed and some make you smile just by appearing in an episode. The monsters in the anime which do not appear in the games are the best, in my opinion, such as Wolfwrath. Meta Knight reveals some of his back story in the anime, which makes him even more interesting. Watching Kirby: Right Back at Ya! can really keep you busy when you have nothing to do. Once you have starting watching, you can't help but to find out what goes on next, especially if it is about the characters you like the most. While it is very predictable what will happen, it is still fun finding out what will go on in the next episode. Overall, Kirby: Right Back at Ya! Is a very good anime; I would recommend it if you like cuteness, or even if you like a bit of action sometimes. It may not be perfect, but you should give the first few episodes a try and if you like them, then watch the whole thing. If you don't like them, then it probably isn't the anime for you, as it is pretty much the same thing in every episode.
So I'm gonna be quite blunt here, I've watched Kirby Right Back at Ya maybe two and a half times. Once fully in English & about halfway through in Japanese. Based upon a popular video game series by Nintendo & Hal Laboratory, the anime did it's own strange adaptation based upon the video games. There's one thing to note about the anime also, most notable the English dubbing company. Apparently, while some people claim that 4kids is the butcher of all decent anime *cough Sonic X, *cough One Piece.* With the Kirby anime, honestly to me it's not all that different from English to Japanese.While some forms of "American Dubbing" have been put into place, however we'll get into that soon.. To me it wasn't all that different. But now let's get into the concept of this anime. Now basic story, Kirby lands on Pop Star he found by two children named Tiff & Tuff (lots of puns in the english dub). Kirby lives with the family to fit in more with society and in Cappy Town. King Dedede & his minion Escargoon try to defeat Kirby for a profit for the company Nightmare Industries. Basically that's the jist of the story. Nothing more to say honestly, it's basic but it gets the job done. All of the characters speak except for Kirby, which is similar to how he is in the video games. So I won't complain. They got the source material right for that. Most episode basically follow a similar path, Kirby is loafing around being himself, the characters give a lecture on how Kirby should act. Like Kirby has the personality of a child & he honestly doesn't know any better. Dedede hires a monster or a setup or Kirby and his two friends get lost somewhere. Plus, Kirby once in awhile gets a copy ability to win the fight. This sort of set up runs for about a hundred episodes most of the time and honestly does get extremely tiresome. However there are some unique episodes that sometimes come out if you do pay attention. Plus, it's a shame that Kirby rarely gets an screen time sometimes. Most of the attention is either given to Dedede trying to end Kirby or Tiff/Tuff giving a pointless lecture. Kirby is either seen in the beginning eating food or in the end fighting an enemy. A better build up would have worked way more honestly. There are some small bits of censorship such as the removal of guns, the context of Japanese food has vanished & even English text was cleaned out of the anime. It's minor though, cause to me it doesn't effect the quality of the anime but it's just a notice for some of you. Lots of characters from the games make tons of cameos such as Meta Knight, Whispy Woods, tons of Waddle Dees, Chef Kawasaki & lots of enemies. The art style is also decent to me, the colors are quite vibrant and the main characters do pop out. But a little flat in terms of the art direction and scenery. The music is nothing to write home about either, even in the English or Japanese dub. The voice acting in English is quite funny honestly. Nothing too terrible considering the source material. But it leaves a lot to be desired for. The Spanish accent of Meta Knight is honestly insanely cringy to no end but King Dedede's Southern accent is absolutely hilarious though if you don't take it seriously. The puns in this anime are insanely noticeable, some of them don't make sense but you have to realize it's an anime for children so it does make sense why. Overall, Kirby Right Back at Ya is something you'd probably enjoy if you're a huge fan of the video game series. But as an anime itself, it leaves a lot to be desired for. The lack of Kirby himself really diminishes the value. Plus the typical plot, generic OST & questionable voice acting will probably get you scratching your head asking why. Though some of the source material is there and a few episode are enjoyable. You should probably look at this anime not as a tribute to the video games, but as a massive joke. Think of it like fan fiction, but it's not that painful.
Being a big fan of Kirby, I enjoyed Kirby: Right Back At Ya! and I appreciate Nintendo for their efforts into making this show despite this being a kid's anime show. Story 5/10: Once you see the first episode, the story is pretty much self explanatory. It's mediocre at best to say the least, can get quite cheesy sometimes but still somewhat enjoyable. Art 7/10: The art is rather good, the characters are well drawn and there is also some 3D animation thrown in which may get a little annoying but it's not terrible. The backgrounds and everything else seem decent but just don't expect anything amazing. Characters9/10: The characters are great, likable and somewhat well developed, I'll briefly describe some of the main ones. Kirby - Although he is a baby, Kirby has the power to suck up any enemy's powers and use their own powers against them. Aside from battling, Kirby loves to eat, sleep, and be around his friends. King Dedede - He's the bad guy that will do anything to get rid of Kirby. Why? He is actually jealous on how many people like Kirby. He purchases monsters from a company called Nightmare Enterprises (Holy Nightmare in the Japanese version) so that they can attack Kirby. King Dedede lives in his own castle along side with Escargon and other characters. Meta Knight - He is known to be quite mysterious since he works for King Dedede but even so, he knows quite a lot about Kirby. He likes to push Kirby to his limits so that Kirby becomes more aware of what he is capable of. He is also the last of the Star Warriors that remained long ago on long battles against Nightmare. He usually doesn't like to get involved into any situation until the last minute so that he makes sure Kirby is prepared to fight any unexpected monsters. Overall, he's a smart and skilled warrior that knows how to get things done. Keep in mind, there are some characters that never appeared in the Kirby games but they seem to fit in well. Voice/Music 8/10: The voice acting in both the Japanese and English dub are well done. The music in the Japanese version was actually better than the English version. If you seen the English dubbed version you'll always get introduced to the annoying Kirby intro and it's also in the credits while the Japanese version is the complete opposite. Overall 8/10: Although Kirby: Right Back At Ya! is quite good, it does have it's flaws but even so, it's one of the better cartoon shows Nintendo has created. It would have been better if 4Kids didn't get their hands on this show since a few scenes were taken out/edited and this hurt the show from what it originally had. If you're new to Kirby then this show wouldn't probably be a good start but if you're a fan of Kirby and have not seen the show, it's worth giving it a try.
I have only now remembered that Kirby TV Channel on the Wii and Kirby, Right back at Ya! exists, despite religiously watching it and waiting for new episodes to appear weekly. Very nostalgic to just randomly come upon it online. I greatly enjoyed this anime as a child but watching clips online, the art style and particularly the CGI haven't t aged particularly well, although the OP still slaps. Some of the scenarios as well weren't particularly brilliant, but it is, at its core an anime designed for children and in my case, it served it's purpose correctly. Overall 5/10 and if I rewatch it Iwill post a more thorough review.
Hoshi no Kaabii was my childhood anime, but certain episodes still have me going back to relive the memories from back then. This is an anime aimed at children around elementary school. But despite this, there are many themes that ring true to adulthood and there is plenty of social commentary that rings true to this day. A few examples: Episode 28, Pollution and Exploitation of Labour This episode features the brainwashing of citizens into performing labour, in order to industrialize Pupupu Land. The effects of pollution and brainwashing are clearly seen here, as well as the lesson that heroisms can be a thankless job. Episode 49,Animation Industry This episode is arguably one of the funniest ones in the anime. It is a satire of the anime industry, where many are overworked and underpaid. The civilians in Pupu Village all make an anime under the command of Dedede, which ends with them being severely sleep deprived and one screaming "Animators have human rights too!" The finished anime is a parody of the Kirby anime, with Dedede taking the place of the hero. It's a whole entire mess, with the animators also filling the roles of voice actors. Here is a quote that sums it up. Meta Knight: Doing post recording without rehearsal... this isn't sane. The whole "anime" they're broadcasting just gets worse and worse, but in the most meta and hilarious way. The Humour Much of this anime's humor relies on introducing an idea, and having it build in ridiculousless or insanity that it eventually spirals out of control- eg. A "which restaurant can make the spicier dish" episode, a pie-throwing episode, an obesity episode, "devil kirby". If that's your thing, I would definitely recommend this anime. As well as this, the anime regularly parodies themselves and inserts references from pop culture. The Characters Dedede and Escargon's shenanigans are a must-watch: though much of their interactions is slapstick, they are sometimes shown to cling to each other in times of need and Escargon is once seen singing a parody of the anime's OP, with the lyrics about Dedede. He also outright states he loves him in doing so. Their relationship is what makes the show. Meta Knight is one of the characters dearly loved by the viewers. He is one of the few with a developed past, and a mentor figure for Kirby. He is often the voice of reason, and although he may act morally gray, he is always there for Kirby in the end. Most times he takes on a serious or cool role, but that is what makes his comedic moments all the more funnier. Oh, Kawasaki. This guy might be one of the funniest characters in the anime. From his horrible cooking shenanigans to his one-liners, his presence makes a scene more hilarious. One of the most memorable lines I remember is the others discussing they haven't seen Dedede recently (obesity episode) and Kawasaki outright saying "Maybe he's DEAD?" Oh, he also once tries to cook Kirby, who is blissfully unaware of what's going on. All in all, this is an amazing must-watch especially for kids, and an anime even adults can enjoy if they watch the right episodes.
Despite only being a casual fan, the Kirby anime has been one of my many childhood memories like it probably has in many others. (Well, I think about half or so of the viewers when it first aired already had a Kirby game or two, but there's that chance most of the rest never played a Kirby game.) While the original name is Kirby of the Stars, Western audiences know it best as Kirby: Right Back at Ya!; indeed, MAL has it listed as such. 4KIDS was sadly the distributor, however, they know how to market anime and make it popular amongst children (as evidentby Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh!). Kirby may have been better off in someone else's care, but would we have the same memorable elements that 4KIDS have given us such as Dedede talking like a hick, Escargoon sounding like Paul Lynde, and Meta Knight with a Mexican-sounding accent? While it's still the case with most other games-turned-into-anime, Kirby of the Stars has a bit of an episodic feel to it, carrying a story complete with original characters while still keeping to the Kirby universe. And yet, the story feels a little fresh in some aspects. For starters, it portrays everyone's favorite pink hero Kirby akin to a baby who can only say “Poyo” at first. Kirby doesn't speak in the games, and we got some voice-acting of Kirby in Super Smash Brothers, but he didn't sound or act like a young child (I could be wrong, though—again, I'm just a casual fan). In the anime, he needs guidance from Tiff whom acts as a mother-figure, and the friends he makes over time, such as Tuff, the local Cappy children, Tokkori (though he won't admit it), and many others. In the meantime, the tyrant, childish King Dedede doesn't want him around, and the moment Kirby proves he can fight and thus interfere, he's determined to really get rid of him. (But he develops a tiny soft spot for him as time goes on.) What he doesn't realize is he's being played by Nightmare Enterprises, the corporation he has been affiliating himself with, and their presence can be felt throughout the show. And surprisingly for a show about a cute character doing adorable things in a slice-of-life and bringing a laugh or two out of the viewer, there's some pretty deep and dark moments that come up—in the original Japanese at least. The art is easily recognizable, and is unique in that they've incorporated 3D into the 2D animation. Kirby, King Dedede, Escargoon and some of the monsters are drawn like this most of the time, you really can't miss it. In comparing the first episode with the last, one can see the art shift in how the 3D is presented. It's very conspicuous in the beginning, and it slowly starts to blend in with the rest of the animation. 3D animation in cartoons wasn't unheard of, per se, but it was still a bit primitive, and it does show its age. It's not as bad as one would think, but it's a bit jarring in some areas. As for the colors, as it's a kids' show taking place in a world that is peaceful for the most part, everything's colorful from the characters to backgrounds. And some of it is pretty to look at. King Dedede's castle is one of my favorite structures in the show in how it's presented from the outside and inside. There are numerous rooms in the castle, and they all have their own special lighting and color scheme. When it comes to the voices and music, the original wins hands down, no questions asked. However, all of the opening theme songs—both the original and dub's—are fantastic. The first Japanese opening is bouncy and light-hearted, the second is orchestral and dramatic, a song fit for a hero saving the day. The dub's, in the meantime, is classic catchy 4KIDS-fare that proclaims Kirby is going to kick your butt whether you take him seriously or not. Speaking of 4KIDS, their music is hit-and-miss, and I mean REALLY hit-and-miss. By themselves, some of the pieces of music are fine. But 4KIDS has that mentality that every single scene needs music in it, so when scenes change, so does the music, and they basically bash into each other trying to shove one out of the way for a few bars. After a few episodes, one will eventually recognize each theme and thus disrupts the mood, because rarely does the music fit in with the mood. Voice-acting is 100 times better in the original because almost everyone at least sounds like they fit their roles (the Mayor sounds too squeaky and feeble in the original and it kinds bothers me). Kenichi Ogata as King Dedede and Naoki Tatsuta as Escargoon are in my opinion the best-sounding characters in the anime, though Banjou Ginga as the Customer Service Guy, Atsushi Kisaichi as Meta Knight and Makiko Omoto as Kirby are excellent as well. However, that isn't to say 4KIDS doesn't have their own greatness. Ted Lewis as both King Dedede and Escargoon makes it a hilarious combination with their dialogue. 4KIDS' scripts are “meh” at best, but they know how to write funny dialogue, and they went all out with these two. King Dedede's voice is based off George W. Bush, and Escargoon's Paul Lynde. Dan Green makes for a very convincing slimy Sales Guy, he's a joy to listen to. And then you have Meta Knight being portrayed by Eric Stuart as a Mexican vampire. Some people don't like this voice, but others find it charming or amusing. Don't get me wrong, it can sound grating on the ears after a while, but in small doses, it's great. With exception for a couple of other voices here and there, the rest of the cast are decent at best. While I can't stand Tuff's voice (Tara Sands has her good moments elsewhere, just not here), Tiff I feel doesn't have a great performance in the dub. Kerry Williams isn't a bad voice actress, but the voice chosen for Tiff is a bit iffy at times, and she sounds more loud/big-mouthed than she really is. So overall, Kirby of the Stars is a sweet anime in which the heart is with the characters and their interactions. Since the audience is watching them live their life—and each character has a different way of living—we come to know them on a near-personal level. Special mention goes to the Cappies, who at times are hard to like because they're rather stupid and cowardly, whether it's the result of living under a tyrannical king or what, I don't know. But nearly all of them have their own personalities, and there are certain individuals who are special in their own right. (It's just that sadly, some of those individuals become their own person late in the anime, though those episodes tend to be enough to give you a better opinion on them.) There are other characters that show up here and there, and some of them are somewhat recurring, but there's a lot of them to really list any specific ones outside of I suppose Knuckle Joe. The anime is kinda hard to find depending on the episode and whether you're watching it subbed or dubbed. But it's well worth the search, and depending on your own personal tastes, you may come to like specific episodes and/or characters. And there are many such memorable moments in both versions. Popularity-wise, it's no Pokémon or Yu-Gi-Oh, but I honestly feel it should be up there if only because of its heart and ability of sucking up one's own heart in the process.
Fun to watch with a simple scenario for most the episodes namely Kirby saves the day from Dedede's monster/s. Yet thanks to endless puns, interesting characters and some familiar voices (Dr Eggman) this is something everyone can enjoy. What particularly impressed me about the characters is they stick to their core personality throughout the show and you don't find yourself halfway through a series wondering what on earth happened to a character that was so fundamentally firm to their convictions. The best example of this would be Tiff who is always on the lookout for potential trouble and makes a concerted effort to do what isbest for Kirby and the residents of Capi Town. Initially Kirby will come across as very simple and cute, but his growth in the show not only in each episode but throughout the series is great to see. Not only does he improve in terms of powers but you see him develop as a person as well. If you have 20 minutes to spare I recommend watching this show.
I'm pretty sure that most everyone reading knows this show as Kirby: Right Back At Ya! as opposed to Hoshi no Kirby. As far as the actual show goes it's loosely connected and clearly designed for a younger audience. Each episode is typically New Character/Event comes to Cappy town - 12 minutes of Kirby and friends/Dedede doing whatever - Final fight with a copy ability. There are exceptions and many episodes noticeably focus on psa themes form the early 2000's like being environmentally conscious or brushing your teeth. Honestly, not a terrible show but the main characters, Tiff and Tuff, are annoying at times, whichis a large detriment to episodes that feature them prominently. Kirby is cute, Meta Knight has a cool voice, but the real showmaker is Dedede. His southwestern accent and general antics with Escargoon are the highlight of the show and what makes it so memorable and enjoyable. As far as the original Japanese audio goes, I personally can't imagine enjoying it aside from the better soundtrack, which was modified for the 4kids dub. The Japanese cast is fairly standard for a typical cartoon, however the eccentricities in many of the voices don't carry over well in my opinion. For me, and I assume most people, Kirby Right Back At Ya is a good show because the dub is great and iconic. Aside from the dubbing, it's about as standard as an early 2000's kid's show gets.
