Well then animation Cartoon network gets a lot of flack for producing bad shows but every once in a while the network brings out something truly worth talking about and well right now that show that's worth talking about is a little show called Ok K.O! Lets Be Heroes.
The basic premise of the series is KO trys to become the world's greatest superhero and the series follows him and his friends as they train to help reach that goal. Now i have to say i'm writing this review after seeing the TKO special so it looks like after that special the series will be adding in another story element which seems interesting.
I have to say that the premise alone made me interested in the show just because i'd never seen a show where we will be following a group of people training to be heroes and i have to say that after the first six episodes aired i was hooked and now it's a must watch for me.
The series stars both Stephanie Nadolny & Courtenay Taylor as KO , Ashly Burch as Enid , Creator Ian Jones-Quartey as Rad , David Herman as Mr. Gar , Kate Flannery as Carol , Jim Cummings as Lord Boxman and Kari Wahlgren as Shannon. I really like the cast for this show there's a lot of great talent and they all voice more then one character except for JIm so i just chose all the main characters that they play and they play them really well altho i have to admit that i like Courtenay more then i do Stephanie who i thought made KO's voice to raspy for my liking.
Bravo CN because this show has some truly great animation i have no idea where the animation for this series is done but i hope everyone involved gets a good pat on the back because the animation in this show is excellent (who said in Bill & Ted's voice?) everything has nice crisp movements and the shows art style helps make the show very unique.
The show not only includes alot of references to various anime and manga but it also takes alot of visual clues from the anime medium as well you won't spot them if you don't watch anime but if your fan like me you'll see them instantly even the show's intro was animated by Hiroyuki Imaishi who co-founded Studio Trigger.
What i like about this show and what i think sets it apart from other shows in this genre is the fact that the heroes don't always win you see the main characters get beat by there enemy in an episode of the show and even tho this is a superhero show it makes the characters feel more human and that's something that i really like.
While most main heroes in superhero shows are mostly clean cut KO actually isn't like that at all in fact in an episode of the show we see that he fears the darkness that lurks within himself and to me that makes him feel more human and more like a real three dimensional i won't spoil the TKO special in case not alot of people have seen it but let's say something happens to KO.
You may have noticed that i havn't talked about the fight scenes well that's because for this type of show i didn't really feel the need to since there's so much more important stuff going on in the show it self but with that being said the action scenes are really well done.
Overall i highly recommend you go and check out this show right now because trust me it's worth your time and energy for me so far the show is a 9.5 out of 10.
