Aaron and Josh Sarnecky are back for their latest TV retrospective. This month they’re looking at a deep cut, Kirby: Right Back at Ya! for the 20th anniversary of its American debut.
Kirby: Right Back at Ya! is an anime based on the Kirby video game series. First debuting in Japan, it premiered in the U.S. on FOX on September 14, 2002. The 100th and final episode aired on December 9, 2006.
The series follows a pink marshmallow-like hero named Kirby (Makiko Ohmoto, Amy Birnbaum), who defends Cappy Town from the tyrant King Dedede (Ted Lewis) and his monsters. Aiding Kirby are his friends Tiff (Kerry Williams), Tuff (Kayzie Rogers), and Meta Knight (Eric Stuart).
Aaron and Josh talk about the first episode and how faithful the anime is to the games. They also discuss the enduring appeal of Kirby and the potential of a new Kirby show.
For another video game anime, you can listen to Josh and Aaron talk about Pokémon.
Kirby: Right Back at Ya! is available on DVD on Amazon.
